New poll: Non-Nokia maemo devices or 3G/HSDPA Internet Tablet.

Windows, most Linux distributions, and several mobile phone operating systems are available on devices from different manufacturers. We know maemo is open-source and other distributions use some of that code. With the trend to adopt fewer OS/firmware standards and the amazing Internet Tablet community accomplishments, is it too far-fetched to think that another device maker will come up with a device using the maemo platform?

For example: Nokia has long-since had the technology to make a GSM/HSDPA Nokia Internet Tablet. They have chosen to go against this despite popular demand and skip right ahead to WiMAX. Non-WiMAX markets are effectively cut out of this product progression. Besides the fear of Linux, what is stopping another phone maker to release an Internet Tablet running maemo?

Specifically regarding that example (and now with the ability to post polls) the options are as follows:

• A 3G/HSDPA Nokia Internet Tablet should be available.
  
• 3G/HSDPA is over. WiMAX is the right choice.
• Internet Tablets should have 3G/HSDPA AND a regular phone radio.
  
• Internet Tablets don't need carrier services. WiFi/Bluetooth is enough.
