I want to buy N900 but with this news I'll wait some months (some months isn't that much long) to get the real new Maemo device and not a device for bypass time.

Oh yes, and then you'll wait some more months because rumours of another device are coming up, and when that hits the market, you'll some more months, and so on...

If you like the device you should get it. If not, skip it. There will always be new mobile devices appearing. It's one of the most fast-living markets today.

That article is mere filler - it's a shabby rehash of what was gleaned from the summit. Not the sort of article to pin your hopes on - unless you're into playing the never-ending "I'll wait for the next best thing" game

If by "some months" you mean 10 or more, then do wait. My phone is going to fall apart before then, and so is my Zaurus. The phone is over 3 years old, the Z over 5. That's like 17083 in gadget years.

They needed some image to pad the page out with, so they used some stock of the back of an older device - it looks a bit like the WiMax N810 to me too.

it's a pic in the post referred to below. the other thing that made me scratch my head was this: "Another major, though possibly controversial, goal for Nokia is to tightly integrate support for commercial content delivery channels in Maemo 6. The platform will have a sophisticated security framework to enforce DRM policies."

Until the DRM business model is thoroughly debunked, there will always be a demand for architectural support for it. So long as I can choose to not have it installed, I'm happy.

Maemo 6 alpha SDK in q1 2010, beta in Q2 2010. Happy Waiting! ;-)
