I was curious, so I googled it. I would actually reconsider my previous stance and maybe even buy the "N900" if the specs in these links are accurate: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/05/25/nokia-n900-rover-tablet-gets-pictured-specd/ http://www.craveonline.com/lifestyle/article/nokia-n900-79259 http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/05/24/exclusive-everything-there-is-to-know-about-nokias-next-tablet/ http://www.nokian900.com/nokia-n900-internet-tablet-rumors/#more-15 http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-n900-rover-internet-tablet-details-leak-2644704/ However, $750 and and/or a smaller screen would be showstoppers for me. Also, at this point regular cellular voice would be a requirement for me. If they can't get the price to netbook levels or less, it's highly unlikely that a single soul will buy them. I think that's been the major issue with the tablets in the past: considering the features, the price is way above everybody's threshold until about the time the new model comes out, making the old one (depending on one's viewpoint) obsolete. ...but I strongly suspect that those "leaked" specs are all somebody's fantasy. And I think it's highly unlikely that it will be released in the next few weeks (they're saying July 2009), or even this summer. Next spring would be much easier to believe.
