In this way It would be able to replace my laptop for most of my needs. I vote for tv/monitor output and external usb monitor – or even a docking station.

Using 'video glasses' as an option would be great. Having a little “Video Out” jack would be great for we older folks that need a microscope to read the screen.

And may be better build quality/design. I’d like to see more RAM, better processor, accelerometer, better GPS module, better touch screen (multitouch??), better camera .

The few things I would change are: Hardware: 1: An OLED screen such has on the n85, but with the 1024x600 resolution mentioned above, although for OLED I'd settle for the resolution not changing from current tablets. 2: Someone mentioned a scroll dial of some kind elsewhere, and while I like the touch screen I agree it would be a nice addition (especially if it acted as a select when depressed since finger selecting on some web pages is a pain with or without the stylus). 3: Better audio output power on the 3.5mm jack. I have to crank some systems I plug it into as well as blast the audio on the tablet itself to get decent sound levels. 4: Additional card slot would be nice, especially if they keep the internal card. I know it would annoy some people, but make it microSD :) Everything else is. 5: Ability to charge via the USB. 6: USB 3.0 (do they have a mini/micro design yet?) 7: Keep it carrier independent (no cellular connectivity! not everyone uses HSPA, and tethering my phone is a lot cheaper) 8: Make it dockable (using the usb port, and possibly the 3.5 audio jack) so that we can have better car mounts and now desk mounts that don't require pluggign and unplugging lots of cables. Software: 1: Make the desktop applets lockable (i seriously don't get how this hasn't happened yet) 2: Work with firefox to make fennec better and the future default browser hmm... well went off a bit more than I planned to.

Ah and please a better Browser the Mozilla Browser is better than the Opera Browser because it is not so often crash like Opera but i miss the TAB function. Oh it is now more than one thing, but this tablet will be my next ;-) I hope it will came soon true!!!

We know this much about the next tablet: - it will include HSPA data connectivity (developers were told to assume "always online") - it will include a high definition camera - it will use an OMAP3 high-performance processor ("enabling up to 3X gain in performance over ARM11-based processors) - it will include hardware-accelerated graphics - an alpha SDK is promised for developers this month, with a beta SDK for developers in March to May 2009 (so it seems unlikely that we will see a device before summer 2009) Source for the above: http://www.vimeo.com/1853196 (see minutes 4 to 5 for features, 19 to 20 for dates) We don't know anything official about the form factor yet.
