Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
the smoking gun ??? : Onkalo Samu.P (Nokia-MS/Tampere)
is the one responsible back in Sept. (at least back then) : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/3/58 Nvidia also seemed to be very involved with this magnetometer chip kernel driver source ... |

Of course there are Intel kernel adaptions, there is an Intel-based reference handset, as well as an arm-based Nokia reference handset (which many of us have). Of course Intel would like to see commercial launches of Meego-powered handsets with Intel CPUs. But, none of that necessarily has anything to do with what Meego handset Nokia will be launching (which will most likely be ARM-based). Honestly, it seems people don't even apply logic and reasoning. Now, the real question would be about a Nokia tablet-like device. One also wonders if a architecture agnostic "binaries" aren't a good idea for a multi-architecture project, or will there be an Intel vs ARM dichotomy of (proprietary) apps and apps stores for Meego? |
Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
nokia and intel have to get meego ready for the launch devices
they HAVE to add kernel patches and drivers we CAN tell what the prototype devices include by looking at the source tree and testing results and bug reports. it's possible these prototypes are not "final" but they are going to be pretty close by now. my logic and reasoning is better than yours :) |

Apart from that I think you're right. the physical dependency of the binary to the architecture is not good for the unity and uptake of Meego. Then again, proper procedures and a proper common build service (one or more OBSes) will prevent that as much as possible. I saw discussions on the meego-dev list talking about this exact mixture of closed and open source binaries, for multiple architectures, in one build service. So they tried to do the proper thing :) |
Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
don't forget Maemo6/Harmattan is NOT Meego 1.2 or Meego 1.3. It will just be able to run the same software. Marketing wise it a "Meego instance". Deep down Nokia was too far ahead to wait till Meego was finally coming to age. So the N9 (whatever it's name will be) doesn't have to exist FULLY in the Meego kernel tree NOW.
But I do expect that Nokia is merging as much as possible of the current N9 product specifics already in, to get a proper unified kernel, maybe to include after launch in a PR. Better to get rid of dual kernel code base as soon as possible, without killing off the already narrow timelines. |

That beign said I think we will see an Atom based Nokia device (remember Nokia's netbook?) but not a phone! |

I still maintain that people ought to see how "dangerous" (for competitors) it is when Nokia can practically merge together Nokia's MeeGo-based OS + MeeGo Core + a hardware adaptation, in very little time, to deploy on new types of devices, processors, form factors. Example could be: Existing stack of Qt applications/Nokia differentation, make a MeeGo hardware adaptation for device, test, ship.. It makes R&D a lot easier having a portable platform. |

They'd have to be to remain competitive since everything else is going this direction. In fact, I'm willing to bet they will go one step further and come up with a QT JIT to standardise not just code - but binaries across the board as much as Android does the same way. Even Microsoft is going this way with Windows 8 being announced for ARM. The market is moving in this direction for everything (even Apple has Rosetta Stone for universal binaries with x86/PPC for years now since they moved to x86). |

That of course doesn't as us such mean that N9 will be Atom based. |

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
nCDK is certainly an intel Medfield based handset, as per details in this bug report :

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
Anyone remembers this?
http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/up.../tablet_19.jpg I bet that the first MeeGo tablet will run in x86. It will make sense, since the form factor allows a bigger battery, and Intel seems to have been testing some MeeGo UI for tablets already (http://mynokiablog.com/2010/06/01/new-meego-tablet-ui/). Every piece of know-how they get through this tablet can then easily go towards a x86 phone (if they eventually decide to make one); which could arrive in H2 2011 (fitting the schedules mentioned before). If the N9 is going to be launched anytime soon; then the hardware should be decided already and getting ready to be mass produced. (Credits to MyNokiaBlog for the picture) |

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
ncdk is a handest. its at the link i posted earlier running handest tests and getting bug reports to do with calls and SMS. they have 3 revisions listed (EB1 EB2 EB3). It has to be close to final by now. I even gave you the screen size and keyboard and sensor info, and still you want to argue it's "something else".
I give up. |

All that can easily take months. That's why I believe the N9, based on ARM will be launched in Q3 2011, followed by an x86 tablet with voice capabilities in mid 2011, and a new x86 phone for Q3 2011. What delayed them? Getting Qt and UX's unified correctly so customers and developers can transition between devices with minimum hassle. Pure speculation on my part, btw. |

the nCDK runs at stock (max.) speed at 1.6 Ghz.

I see, so you think that Nokia, that will barely admit to the importance of MeeGo, actually is developing two MeeGo phones... And also is so insane they decided to skip making prototypes and testing of the N9, and will just test the n900 and this intel phone. Because that is exactly what you are implying when you say that this is not the N9 prototype... |
Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
b/c its running handset UX does not mean its a handset and not a tablet, there's no official Tablet UX yet

1.2Ghz is the MINIMUM speed for any intel cpu based on the previous platform, so I was hoping they'd raised it for this one. |

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
no its GMA600 based, thats a 4 pipeline 400mhz gpu built in, according to the kernel patches. but they might enhance the hardware further to a higher speed. it supports directx 10.1 and opengl, and is licensed from powerVR or whatever. and THAT means uber graphic :)

its a 1.8" by 3.4" screen prove me wrong http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouc...gets/nCDK.conf you can calculate it by the ppi and resolution there |

Should clarify: I hope that is simply the display for the devkit and not the display on an actual device. I pine for a 4.3" display! |
Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
well it sounds bad, but its basically the same as we have now, just a bit higher. Maybe its gonna get bigger on another prototype :)

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
some more info, I do recall having seen a China sourced picture of a Nokia device showing "C0" as the model name. I can't find the picture back directly for it and looks like it was the real deal after all, at least for the nCDK, who knows for the N9 :D

Intel is the logical choice for the N9 and MeeGo. But logic has never stopped Nokia from making weird stuff :)

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
here is a conversation about nCDK when it was first introduced in the meego QA meeting
not sure it sheds much light on anything but its interesting iCDK is publicly available version of nCDK none will be the N9-00 sound like they are reference platforms for development along with the N900 Code:

Of course, the Blaze SDK has similar panels and that says nothing about any handsets based on the OMAP4 so I'm not going to bank on anything here. |

Re: Rumor: N9 to have 1.2Ghz Atom
it turned out to be the E7 that proto what leaked with C0 on it
any way why have they dropped using the AAVA atom devices and moved to new references devices for 1.2 development is the question i want to know :eek: Maybe AAVA found someone willing to commercialise their devices? |

N9 will fail if it is running Atom CPU :(
*battery hogging *Bad Architecture for mobile *Heat SINK needed *Crashes *Slow *HD ready? rec and enc I prefer ARM CPU instead.. DUAL CORES!!! MMMMmmm |
