Sony is making a device using linux, an ARM Cortex processor, an SGX graphics chip, front and rear cameras, a built in mic, external speakers, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, and an Accelerometer, why would I compare that to an N900 sucessor?

Ok a quad-core device may be a little bit overkill, but I don't want an incremental upgrade to my N900! The next N900 whether it’s the N9 or not must be a "GENERATIONAL" step over its predecessor. If not Nokia may as well forget about trying to compete with the new devices coming to market.

I don't see why this is exciting - I'm sure it's gonna be locked down like the PS3 was.
And just like that, I have absolutely no interest in it.

Now, give me a hand-held with a higher-res 4" screen, full ascii keyboard, dual-core processor and a open OS, and I'll think about it. In the meantime, my N900 isn't going anywhere.

Stores with rows and rows of modern games that are playable on this handheld device... some people actually pay for new games.

I just can't get behind games I played over a decade ago. Memory lane is only so long for me. DOS, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Gameboy Color... even SNK Neo-Geo. I've owned them all, loved them... can rarely say that I miss them to the point I want to relive their past glory on a sub 4" screen for more than 10 minutes a week.

Now, give me a hand-held with a higher-res 4" screen, full ascii keyboard, dual-core processor and a open OS, and I'll think about it. In the meantime, my N900 isn't going anywhere.
Open OS's are great for work. Not so much for play. Great for emulation of decade old games that I actually had time to play back then and finish... a lot.

I'd say that the OpenPandora is more your style. I'm already about about get rid of my Nintendo DSi and PSP for this.

Well, I suppose I'm a special case. My two main games are Team Fortress 2 and Runescape. Of which niether will work right on this new console.

If I want to play a nice game on a hand-held, it's going to have to be something old(and performant) like, say, Legend of Kyrandia. Something without twitch controls.
Even a side-scroller might be fine... But the differencee between a 2d and a 3d sidescroller isn't much :\

Meh. I guess I'm just not a gamer. I find messing with config files and coding applications often more fun than most games.
