Next Nokia Internet Tablet - Some Specs Revealed
September 20th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
At one of the workshops today in Maemo Summit, a slideshow showed a few specs of the next internet tablet after the Nokia N810. As you can see, half of the data was crossed out. I snapped a photo just in time so you can see the slide yourself.
From the slide, it shows that the next internet tablet includes 3G HSPA, a TI OMAP3 processor, OpenGL graphics accelerator, and Maemo 5 OS.

The picture is not very clear, can you provide more qualitative one?
Thanks.

Hi Mark, fwiw that slide is just summarizing some of the Maemo Fremantle features that had been announced previously by Ari Jaaksi and others at OSiM World and the Maemo Summit. Kate’s session was an introduction to Maemo development and didn’t contain any news per se.
The original sources with much more details are http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2008/09/osim-news-whats-up-with-maemo.html - http://flors.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/osim-world-maemo-devsesh-slides/ and Peter Schneider’s presentation at the Summit where he announced Oen GL ES and Clutter (slides to be uploaded soon, you were there).
Most of the entries linking to this post are talking about “leaked” information on a new product when it fact the data is referring to well announced software features. Features that were published online the same day they were announced and/or were disclosed in an event open to anybody (some blogs are referring to the Summit as some kind of “internal” event when registration was open and free of charge).
Maybe you want to clarify all this in another post? Your readers seem to be interested in the future of the tablets and knowing more about Fremantle will make them good.
There is no confusion about this in the surroundings of the Maemo community but surely most of your readers-bloggers fall more in the Nokia/S60/gadget interests - and they are probably not used to the open source motivations to announce release plans as soon as possible.

Oh, I see, so this wasn’t concerning hardware directly…Well, but it does give us a hint of what we will see, so it is valuable information that has features of upcoming devices.
