Re: N900 hardware improvements (N900i)
I'd love to start seeing HDMI out on future Maemo devices. Obviously, it goes without saying that the value of the HDMI out is diminished somewhat if the CPU/GPU aren't powerful enough to playback...

Re: Camera
Yeah, I noticed this as well. It's noticeably faster. I remember taking my first picture with the N900 before the update and thinking "Damn, am I using an N95-1 with the initial firmware?"
