Did Nokia expand on the comment
“770 uber geeks, N800 geeks, next tablet mainstream”
geeks to me means freedom, flexibility. MainstreAm could be boring and restrictive.
You mentioned the LGPRX44 on the FCC site. But, I didn't find this reference. Are there hyphens or spaces in the ID?
Naw. Did you really lose anything between the 770 and the 800?
I think he just means that it will be much more robust and user-friendly out of the box, and won't *require* hacking to get a full experience out of it. It will still be open and be as free to hacking as you want it to be, I can't imagine they'd change that now.
I'm a bit worried about the "geeks vs. mainstream"-thing here, too. We know what marketing people mean when they say "mainstream".
Don't worry about it. It just means easier to use... Trying to rough out the edges that mainstream users would find hard to understand.
I think he just means that people who want to use the new tablet without installing anything will have a lot more support and built-in software.
For example, it would have been nice if the FM radio app had come built-in instead of users having to install it manually.
It would also be nice to see built-in bluetooth headset support, built-in calendar, built-in word processor etc.
