I think there's also at least one serious bug in the OS that causes this, but there's not much we can do about that. I've recently experienced these same issues with my N800, but was lucky enough to be able to get it to boot long enough to delete Navit, which was taking up a huge amount of space and wouldn't update because there wasn't enough room to download the update and have enough room to process it. Now that I have some room back on the internal flash, the tablet seems to be working much better. If you don't have a recent backup and don't want to risk losing data or go through the PITA of reinstalling everything from scratch after a reflash, try some patience. Start by removing the battery for at least 15 minutes, then reinstall it and plug in the charger. It might immediately start booting before you even touch the power button. Leave it alone, and even if it seems like it's frozen just wait. If it hasn't successfully booted in a couple of hours, start over. If you do eventually get a successful boot, try removing a few of the larger apps that you don't really need and see if that helps.
