So you got IT2008 on your N800. Good for you.

It has come to my attention that a handful of InternetTabletTalk users pulled the MAC address from the dmesg output to snag the MAC address and use that as their own Device ID to get an N810 image from Nokia's site. They're using that image on their N800 tablets.
Clever thinking, but I request in the future that people try not to use the information I post like this in the future. You see: It's now my fault that the N810 flash image leaked to the public before it was ready. Sure, it's possible some people found the MAC address a different way, but we all know that Nokia treats the Internet Tablet's MAC as a serial number and it's unethical to use someone else's serial number to get software.
Nokia: I apologize for being careless about posting the dmesg output. The file in question is pulled and I hope the users are kind enough to obey their EULA's and serial number representation in the future. I hope this doesn't damage our relationship too much.
*edit* A couple readers responded and showed me other locations people have posted N810 MAC addresses, so I'm not the only sucker here. Still: it's a good idea to hold off until an official release/announcement. You never know what may be bricked or fixed.
p.s. Happy Birthday, Quim Gil!
