Considering they're lauding its "ofono" phone stack.. I'll be willing to bet it'll be a phone. Cripes sake--It IS a phone. it's lost its respect as an Internet Tablet device and it's just yet another "smartphone" now. :P

Given the hardware I've seen listed--I'd be willing to bet it'll emulate the SNES system quite easily. We'll see.

I have another question. Do you think with the specs that have been leaked that the tablet will have the enough power to run SNES games smoothly?

Thanks.
Probably. Mostly. Not for all games.
Depends how well your software is written. I'd say yes.

No, but what we do know about the RX-51 says that it isn't the next tablet.

There's been an FCC filing
Which calls the RX-51 a phone in several places in the SAR & Test reports, eg (emphasis mine, but note that this is completely different to FCC reports for previous Maemo devices):

The EUT is a 7-band (GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA Band I/IV(1700)/VIII) mobile phone with GPRS, EGPRS, Bluetooth, WLAN and FM transmitter.
Tested devices/accessories: Phone RX-51, Battery BL-5J, AC-Charger AC-10E, Headset WH-205
This device has Voice-over-IP/Dual Transfer Mode capability for use at the ear. Therefore, SAR for multi slot GPRS mode was evaluated against the head profile of the phantom. Dual Transfer Mode is a feature that utilises the multi-slot GPRS capability in this device; it allows simultaneous transmission of voice and data during the same call, using the same transmitter and antenna.
and a gazillion tests titled "Cheek position [Middle|High|Low] Phone slide Closed Camera slide [Closed|Open]".

For better or worse, it's a phone.

We won't be misled this time then...

That's true, but these Symbian phones aren't selling either Or lets say they aren't selling like they used to.

It's good time to introduce something really new from Nokias phone sector.
