Nokia has a mix of open and closed software on its Nokia tablets, and Maemo only has the "open" bits. This works because the closed parts are applications, not the underlying system software.

This isn't the case on the iLiad. Two examples are ContentLister and the virtual keyboard. I don't see how Maemo-like development could even get started without the ContentLister first being released as Open Source. We would probably also need an alternative to the keyboard software, but that could be worked on as part of the project.
