If you'd ask me, these are all apps that hugely benefit from the bigger screen the N800 offers compared to 3,5''
So screensize would be a step back in *my* usecases

You're forgetting one of the biggest use cases of all - cellular voice. Once the decision was made to include cellular voice (whether due to the Pre or otherwise), the 3.5" screen makes sense. How many GSM phones have displays larger than 3.5? - very few.

Peter, are you saying that this leak is not of the "Maemo 5 lead device" and, therefore, that there may be a 4"+-screen Maemo 5 Tablet that will be the "lead device"?

Highly unlikely.

Peter already said he can't say. ;) And, we already know that there are plans for non-Nokia Maemo devices. The real question is: Can we wait? :D

You can gauge just how crucial a new device is to this community by the number of people reading... ;)

Nokia has reunited the whole Maemo community by really, really pissing all of us off :D

Arrr... Would that be the Sparrow then?

And you can gauge the passion of this community by the number of "tags of passion" in the thread that have had to be deleted by moderators. ;)

And another thing, many thanks (if it's true) for getting cellular voice on a Maemo device so soon. I am disappointed that the faster, better, tablet will not be available (at least soon), but this is a welcome surprise. Although I will not buy this device, it will sell in larger volumes (at this point in time at least) than a larger tablet w/o cellular voice...
