I'm disappointed to see Nokia moving Maemo/MeeGo devices further and further away from being a more desktop-like experience, even while everyone else is converging slowly toward a more desktop-worthy one. Near as I can tell, I still haven't replaced my N800--just managing without it for now, since it's just too slow and unsupported to tolerate anymore and the N900 was just going in that wrong direction for me, too--I didn't want a phone, I wanted a pocket computer.

Pocket computer is dead, long live the tablet.
You could always go for a netbook/smartbook/whatever the hell Intel is calling it now

Only men who like to take it up the arse buy from Nokia after owning N96/N97/N900/etc

Didn't you... just... describe the new UI for MeeGo demoed in that video? Minus closing--which Android manages for you anyway to save battery life.

Re: N9: It's finally here

As owner of a n770,n800 and (sadly) a n900 (the worst device of them all), i will take it as another Nokia joke to bring to the market *another* device with yet-another-revision-of-the-OS that, of course, will have a myriad of 1st-generation bugs.
But they're getting better at it.They already have told people,before buying the device, that the platform will be dumped,
I dont know if i'd interpret that as a polite gesture, or if they're trying to beat some world-record of cinism.
And, please, dont dream about "the platform will be continued, and bugs fixed".You already know the closed-source drivers tale, right?

Re: N9: It's finally here

There seems to be some kind of cosmic relation between Maemo.org forums home grown linux nerds and big blogs like Engadget.
If one likes the another, other one has to hate it. :D

Well, except that at least the 7-inch Galaxy Tab fits fine in all my pockets. Not a lot of other larger tablets can come EVERYWHERE with me like this tablet manages to do. It would have been GREAT if the N800 had been made into a similar 7-inch tablet with a real Linux OS and freedesktop.org desktop. Ugh.

Nope. You got the multitasking integrated to the UI and you can close the apps from the same window.
