Wait, no Newton?

Would be cool to have some kind of iUI library for Maemo to make web apps which look more like polished "real" apps; like iUI did for the iPhone web apps.
Generally iPhone-specific web apps work well on the tablets too...
I've a feeling the next upcoming "crack" will be devoted to see how iUI fits in with web2py :-)

Well, the best "alternative" is probably going to be the Pandora, since it's basically an N900 except a few months early. With the N900 being as far away as it is, I'll almost certainly be getting one (well, assuming they actually do end up being available around November).
I'm interested in Pandora, too, but there's so much... vapour... in the air around that project, it's hard to see what's actually going on...

Why wouldn't tablets be able to, though? Look at the Beagle. That's what we're looking at performance-wise for the next tablet. It's got more than enough juice to handle the desktop use-case.

Life will be a lot easier for you with working USBNet.

The devices will ship in November. There are 3000 in this first run. A second (likely larger) run will be manufactured in early 2009.
The GP32 and GP2X sold a combined 75,000+ units, and they'd certainly like to surpass those figures with the Pandora.

Just an idea.... if I'd get either a Pandora (I never heard of this outside internettablettalk.com, so I do assume it's a virtual entity created inside this forum, but who knows... 
) or a beagleboard... and if after November 2008 first alpha releases of Maemo 5 become available.... would it be possible to have these Alphas run on Pandora/Beagleboard? (I understand Nokia confirmed this for BB, but still... I mean... it would be cool to have the image+flasher+howto combination so that you could just download a single file, flash it and stare at the beautiful background before it crashes.)

Watch out Nokia, Pandora's box has opened (sorta)...
