    So, you're saying it definitely has both a dpad and optical mouse in that one physical spot (like I was attempting to describe in my last post)?

    No one wants an Internet tablet except a few freaks. It's a niche product, but Nokia might make another just beyond the horizon.

    Which reminds me of a Stephen Crane poem, which I quote, inaccurately no doubt, from memory:

    I saw a man
    Pursuing the horizon
    Round and round they sped.

    "It is futile," I said.
    "You can never..."

    "You lie!" he cried,
    And ran on.

    I'll go out on a limb and say the Internet Tablet was only ever a playground for Nokia's mobile phone business. Microsoft, as the biggest player in the software space, has been pushing tablets for over 5 years with no rewards. Nokia has used the tablet to research, develop, and hone a 'Linux based smart platform' for their future phones (and we got a cool tablet or two out of it).

    Personally think this is a great navigation key for a mobile device.

    Just because both used the name "tablet" doesn't put them in the same category.
    AFAIK the MS vision of a tablet was something far bigger.

    wow, there's a collective change of heart from the meamo community if your view is representative of the majority in this forum.........

    Their statement can be true even if the maemo community are all still die hard "you can have my NIT when you pry it from my cold dead fingers" types.

    Even at it's peak, this community is a niche market, not the mainstream.

    my apologies, i just find it odd that the maemo community has resigned itself to quickly to the idea that the future is smart-phones, when until recently everyone was clamouring for an N810 mk2.
