Jonathan, thanks for the updates!

My device is pre-release and has a slip case which I believe will be included. Ogg is not included for codec licensing issues... Form factor is excellent as is the build and it will apparently get a bit better over the course of the pre-release period along with the updates to the OS for release. Non-Powered USB...can't charge - not sure about keyboard, but I assume not and it's the micro-USB variety. MiniSD gives you up to 10GB storage with the internal ... US / Canada maps are preinstalled in much (think it's around1.8GB) of the 2GB internal and non-removable card which is how you get 256 free there. Wimax is next year... I've been told it's "later." No FM radio either... Anything else - I'll likely have an overview blog post up in the next 24-48 hours once i get back to NY have time to think it out a bit with some extended use. If there's something specific you'd like to know, please let me know...

Actually, it is about being open and free. Nokia promotes the tablet as an open platform, and is using huge amounts of free software as the basis for its product. To ignore ogg-vorbis support, which *is* an important feature for many of us (and far more valuable, to *me*, than WMA and AAC support), and is pretty much the only free-as-in-freedom codec, is a bit of a slap in the face. Some of us do have political agendas, such as promoting the use of free software. That Nokia uses our software (as is their right, according to our licenses), but then promotes non-free codecs/software, is a bit sad.
