<beating dead horse>Putting in an 802.16e compatible chipset makes the most sense for the tablet's target market. What the original poster is arguing for is that Nokia should be using the maemo platform as a smart phone platform a la Android, the stripped down ARM port of OS X used in the iPhone, Symbian, etc. It would also be equivalent to suggesting net book manufacturers ought to start adding phone capabilities to their OS and hardware. I'm happy with tethering since it doesn't require upgrading my tablet hardware every time I want to upgrade my phone or switch providers.</beating dead horse> -Gary _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
