Meh. Being plied with alcohol by a bunch of geeks? I mean, are there any women even coming to the summit? I guess free-alcohol-is-free-alcohol, but booze isn't that expensive, is it?

Nokia may have put the tablets in the same room, but the cool kids don't let them sit at their table.
Whoah. Flashback to high school.

This rumor is coming from Eldar Murtazin - the guy running mobile-review.com. He mentioned this in his N79/N85 preview (last paragraph).
I'm a mod in that forum, and I can tell you that he meant phones. 99.95% sure
That KFlyer guy from the "source" blog of NokNok is just a kid who wants to make himself look more important by quoting a mysterious "trusted source". He's a member of the M-R forums, so...
Other than that, I agree with the wild guesses above - if we're going to see new tablets in 2008, it will almost surely be in Berlin. What better place to do that other than when most vocal tablet evangelists come together?

In any case, we've known for some time that Ari Jaaksi will be announcing something interesting at OSiM, as the Nokia folks keep going on about how the topics covered in their session will shift massively after Ari's talk. And gee, hasn't Ari said something about steps before?
