IVA2 + ISP for decoding video streams without using the CPU would be nice to hear about.
Also used for format conversion and 2d bitmap scaling.

Nice multimedia helper features which at the moment are locked up.

Well there you have it. They're not giving us a higher resolution screen.

For me, it didn't come from that, but from looking at the door for the slot, which looks like it's 2 doors. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Though, at least it's a card slot that you can access without taking the battery cover. Every other Nokia phone I have requires you to take the door off.

I have another idea for how they could have filled the gap of a more than 1.5 years between the N810 and the N900...

N810 HSPA Edition

I've said something sort of like that before, but it just really struck me in seeing the WiMAX edition finally released, that a good product announcement for the holidays would be the same thing, only with HSPA (not phone, not SMS/MMS, just remove the WiMAX radio and replace it with GRPS/EDGE/HSPA capability).

Give me that, and the ability to use the tablet as a wifi access point, and I'd be quite happy.
