Looks like there is a temperature probe. Was that in the N800 too? I'm going to be disappointed if that's it. I'm sure they'll claim they went with that instead of a lightsaber simply due to space constraints.

What was the Easter Egg in the n800 if it wasn't the fm-receiver?

(Or maybe it's just me who cares.)Is it the RealTek RTL8150 chip, for USB<->Ethernet? I don't think that was in the N800. But I can't see the use of that feature, to be honest, since it defeats the purpose of a mobile device...

Multitouch doesn't really have anything to do with finger/stylus detection, detection is done by the pressure.

However, I don't know much about Ethernet over USB, but it seems like an odd feature to just stumble across while playing with the device which is what prosthetic seems to be implying.

It has Ethernet over usb (as does the 770, etc.) -> this implies that you attach a usb lead at both ends and it pretends to be an Ethernet adaptor at both ends (e.g. rndis).
What I think you're after is the ability to plug a usb Ethernet adaptor into the N8x0 and use it. Both the N880 (with OS2008) and the N810 appear to support this (usb host mode via OTG) from their dmesg outputs.
Edit: N800 not N880 - I can't see into the future I'm afraid!
