Er, sorry, I was addressing the "Nokia didn't let you use the information at first" rather than the "Nokia used the accelerometers for image stabilization". ;)

Why would you need any more than 5 Megapixels, anyway? When my old 5 MP camera died, I bought the modern day equivalent, and 8.1 MP model, and promptly turned the resolution down to 5 MP. If you aren't going to make the photo into a poster, 5 MP is fine.

I'd rather the N900 NOT have a highres camera. I'd rather have a camera designed to be a good CAMERA, and simply have a webcam on the N900.

Only if you consider the touchscreen primarily as an input device. For output purposes certain types of applications (eg microb, modest, osso_pdfviewer, fbreader, maemo mapper) would definitely benefit from having a few extra pixels, especially in non-fullscreen mode.

The current pixel density isn't too high either - there have been devices with higher DPI for a while, including some from Nokia (E60, E70, N80 & N90) and 1000x600 at the same physical dimensions would approximately match the DPI of the Neo/Freerunner displays which are still quite readable.

I appreciate the cost reasons for keeping 800x480 and can live with it, but I would also be willing to pay a premium for higher resolution.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Hm, anyone know what exactly drivers/misc/cmt-speech is?

Code:
config SSI_CMT_SPEECH
      tristate "CMT speech driver"
      depends on OMAP_SSI
      ---help---
        If you say Y here, you will enable the CMT speech driver.
        This driver provides a simple interface for the user space speech
        protocol implementation to communicate with the cellular engine over
        the SSI bus.

So the N900 can say "Not so fricken hard!" when you get a little too aggressive with the stylus. ;)

CMT may be "Cellular Mobile Telephone", at least that's the best (Google assisted) guess we came up with the other evening.

So your N900 can phone you up and say "You left me on the bus. According to the onboard GPS I'm at the following location... I'll phone you again if the accelerometer says anyone has picked me up."

It looks like this driver was for a cell-phone. Maybe the next device will be a phone or Nokia is working on other Linux-based cell-phones for which they require these drivers. Maybe they're going to use Symbian on normal phones and Linux on smartphones in the future?

Yes, HS*PA (data only)

There is already little to no difference anymore between 'tablet' and 'smartphone', and I only see these growing more towards each other. The RX-51 will have features smartphones tradtionally had. HSPA+ allows all-IP, LTE is all-IP. The only difference is one based on (wrong) perception such as the keyboard or the OS. But with smartphones getting full keyboard or touch-based keyboards, and with Maemo OS reaching adolescence and Symbian becoming open source and both using Qt those differences fade as well.
