Out of curiosity: why the sudden love for QNX? Is it because it rhymes with UNIX? As I understand it, it is closed source, like iOS, and is basically the same as iOS and linux: a unix like os. Is it the micro-kernel appeal? Am I reading the general response incorrectly?
... so confused!

Sorry guys just a little confused, is QNX open source like Meego? It looks really promising, might get on their phones now?

nope, QNX is proprietary. Tho there was a freeware version available for a while way back when that was bootable from a floppy as a kind of demo of its capabilities, iirc.

As a former Blackberry user, I'm one of their harshest critics but something good is simmering in Waterloo...

Hey didn't someone (CEO?) from BlackBerry a little while back, say that touch was not the future??
I'm confused and this confusion is really preventing me from liking this high-featured gadget.

I think our US cousins use the term PlayBook to refer to strategies in team sports rather than a childs colouring book
PlayBooks are common in American Football, obviously containing all the plays and audible codes for each play.

A dedicated device, too big for being phone, camera or being carried in a pocket, but maybe too small to be a comfortable book or web reading device. The N900 have the all-in-one appeal, you can forgive the size given the amount of things in there (in particular, the phone, that you should carry anyway). But if you need to carry a dedicated device, bigger could be better.
Having a somewhat "new" OS for that device (or at least, new for that kind of device) also have a big impact on apps availability. Android and iPhone have plenty of apps, so their tablet version have too. Meego should have too, not sure how easy or hard will be to migrate linux, maemo, or moblin apps for it, but should be easier than start from practically zero for qnx,
Also, didnt saw mentioned battery life, what could end being a critical point there, still thinking that the iPad have too little battery life for some of the perfect uses for it (book/web reading).
For me the future is still N900-like devices (physical keyboard, maybe a bit bigger screen, better battery life), or some kind of netvertibles.
