No thats much further down - they just pointed out that it's the same as the beagle board.
It seems very strange, that its up there with the N900 - seems very strange.
It just means ST-Ericsson is developing a U8500 hardware adaptation for MeeGo.com and throwing resources at it. Just like TI OMAP4 is. Doesn't have anything to do with any Nokia products.
There's a talk on the U8500 platform port at the MeeGo conference.
where did you get your dates from?
i don't think that the n9 will come out Q3 2011
well meego 1.2 won't be available until end of april (27 april) so if it's a polished version we'll probably have a meego phone by the end of Q2 in the best time , but I think it will be a Q3.
Lets try to keep in mind again that N9 wont have Meego inside, but MeeGo-Harmattan(Maemo core). Same goes when we talk about what hw that is currently compatible with the OS.

this is just my optinion.
just b/c vanilla 1.2 version wont be available then it don't mean nothing.
theres already been many MeeGo tablets released with no tablet version even released.
any way N9 will run harmattan so could come out at any time

how do you know that the MeeGo-Harmattan(Maemo core) device will be released? I think that is history and they moved the UI to meego.
And I don't think that releasing such a device will help them much. It will create more confusion, because application build for this device won't be compatible with future meego releases. sure most of the apps will be written in qt and when the transition is made they will just compile them for meego but still not all developers will jump at once to re-compile their apps for the new platform, and not all the MeeGo-Harmattan(Maemo core) buyers will be techies who understand what is going on, unless they release the N9 the same way as N900 like an intermediary phase , which is also not a good idea.

I think those tablets are using meego for netbooks + some custom UI. I think only wetab was released. do you other tablets that use meego?
The stake is to high for nokia to release an unfinished product.
may I ask you how do you know that N9 will have harmattan ?
Why do you care? If you like the specs and it runs MeeGo what does the manufacturer logo on it matter?
Are you really implying that the manufacturer doesn't matter? Without even getting into UX differentiation, there is absolutely a difference in build quality from one company to the next. I happen to think Nokia handsets are very solid and durable. HTCs and Samsungs otoh feel like toys.
