It has double the GPU power and (almost) double the CPU power, double the flash, plus quadruple of your N900's RAM.

I'm putting $1 bet down on it being released into the wild just before/during Nokia World in October, so that would be Q4, but basically if Nokia say Q3, just +1!
Can't believe the Symbian Anna news either. My girlfriend has been listening to me say, "Don't worry, next month" since February, for her N8.
"End of August" seems like way too far for me to get steak tonight.

Can someonoe enlighten me about the OS?
People were saying that it would need to be released as Maemo, since harmattan doesn't used RPM, but it's listed as "Meego 1.2 Harmattan" (as 1.2 a being the latest Meego version released by the time of the SF conf)
So will it be what, exactly?
- harmattan with some MeeGo flavor;
- early handset MeeGo version based on harmattan, but still Meego?

I am confused. Also, why some people here are bashing the fact that the N9 does not have a Qwerty hardware keyboard. A virtual keyboard is way better when using a multitouch amoled capacitive screen, that is why all the most advanced phones from the competition do not have a hardware keyboard. Also, it makes the phone bulky.

Remember that the phone must have an attractive design because sales is what feeds the company.

Also, why some people are saying that the N9 doesnt have FM transmitter? an FM transmitter will be available through a thrid party application, just like it is a vailable through a third party application on the N900.

I am not a genious on programming, etc. I am a User, and english is not my first language. But I always try to understand your conversations you post here, many people read this forum but dont post, I am one of them. I have a question
Does MeeGo = Maemo 6?

Will it be open source?

Does the N9 has integrated Skype and google voice? I love my n900 because I videocall my father from caracas to Atlanta via wifi on skype from my n900 to his IBM laptop. Can I do that with the N9? via wifi?

I love transmission, I download Spartacus and the series I like through thepiratebay using transmission. Will the N9 allow the programmers to create torrent clients?

I need to know if the n9 is the n950 ....

Sorry, definitely not happening. FM transmitter in the N900 requires hardware which the N9 does not have.
So, two possibilites:
Either the N9 has neither FM rx nor tx (Completely omitting even normal FM listening seems rather odd to me)
Or (with OMAP3630 chances are not that low) still has a combined wl1273 chip with FM Rx+Tx which is not yet listed and spoken of...
We will see...

OK, I had the opportunity of played with the Asus X101 MeeGo-powered netbook, and I was able to install Dosbox (and then install DOS 6.22, Win 3.11, play some old games), Wine (and test a few games like Counter-Strike), Skype, Firefox, gcc and so on.
BTW, I am very excited with this OS. I think it is very very very promising. Save these words: Give more 1 or 2 years, then you'll have the most efficient, fast and secure OS of the market (without stealing your geolocation data, as iOS and Android do - meh, I don't want to start a fight here, but that's true).
So, my question is (and I hope someone has the answer):
Will I be able to do all those stuffs in this device?
I mean, maybe it's a silly question, but I saw a lot of websites and videos showing the N9, and no one mentioned if this N9 has a console (pretty much like N900 has (I own a n900, so I already know that I can do *almost* anything with it), and if I will able to change some OS configuration - like I was able in my N900)), and if it is as open and free as Maemo is.
If so, I think it worth a try - even without a keyboard, IR, microSD.
Thanks, and sorry about my English.
