Are there burning OS issues that should be addressed? There is a whole community that is churning out Maemo ports of all sorts of software. There is a Maemo port of Claws and it's very useful.

I for one do *not* want it to be an iPhone competitor. Then the beauty of this device will get lost in the noise. I want a device much like it is now, separate from my phone. > Afterall, its not as if Nokia doesn't have this experience in house! ;-) It appears that Nokia has made the conscious decision not to use this experience to make a so called smart phone out of the tablet.
