For it not to be a phone.

I agree, a phone makes it far more expensive (see iPod Touch vs. iPhone, $300 price diff for only a GSM/3G chip) and tempting for a single operator to rip you further off with a 2 year exclusive contract.

More wishes:
- screen size at least 4.1", preferebly 5" and no beveled edges which makes touching near the edges easier.
- better a 4 rows keyboard
- better handwriting recognition
- faster processor and more memory

I know, the last wish costs more battery power, but why not a 'boost / turbo' mode which is only enabled on short processor intensive jobs, such as ' step to 1GHz and enable 1GiB internal memory' for a while and then revert to, say, 500 MHz and 256MB.
They can better leave out a camera as a camera of this size does not zoom and can only take reasonable photos in full daylight as the sensor is way too small (unless you make the device at least 2.5 cm thick....). A GPS they can also leave out unless it is MUCH better like in most modern BT GPS devices.

Re: Next gen NIT wishlist

This might be hard to implement with the tablet being a touch screen and all but I'm thinkin', it would make the perfect coffee warmer or mini hot plate...

I imagine they would have to put some kind of warning message on it reminding us to turn it off before finger scrolling and what not but it should be do-able.

:D

Start it up and an animated graphic of an electric (or even gas) stove could come on... Maybe you could select red-hot coil or blue flames.

I WISH it ran Internet explorer - I mean the new NIT wishlist list :D

Seriously I am now tiring of the new NIT suibject totally - and am getting intot he mode where I am thinking I will not buy any new technology for a year or so - just to get away from the "latest and the best" mind fatigue.

But, more seriously, we don't need another thread like this. Come on.

If you do want to suggest real wishes, please go to the new Maemo Brainstorm and do it there.

I don't see anything in brainstorm about the next nit, ust maemo.
