That's very nice..
The fastest boot I ever had was an Acer One, with their custom Linux and GUI. Was something around 20 seconds or so. 1 second is amazing.

It's impressive, but keep in mind we're comparing an embedded system to general-purpose OS+UI here. This thing is booting a probably hardware-customized Linux kernel, a trimmed-down Qt runtime, and directly into a very bare app UI (almost a mockup, except for the video screen and one button).

That's quite an achievement in itself, but I wouldn't expect the same with an N900 or N9 booting a larger kernel (with hardware detection etc.) with plenty of services to set up (telephony etc.) and a complete system UI like Fremantle or Meego on top of GTK or Qt.

Don't forget there is a method to create similar graphs like in their presentation... It will be interesting to catch data on n900 and make a graph from it...
