Without trawling through the whole thread, so at risk of repeating posts, I find it hard to believe/understand why the desktop has been got rid of - I find it a massive pain in the arse to scroll through all my installed programs in order to find something. having a desktop, or even better, multiple desktops makes it a lot easier to have programs that use use often right there, plus shortcuts to a frequently used number is well handy.
The way the N9 seems to work is akin to getting rid of the 'All programs' button in windows startbar and just dumping everything you install onto the desktop..

The upcoming folders feature will fix it, since you can group your "favorites" app all together. As for widgets, I bet most of such apps can display the needed info in the notifications/updates view
faster processor just allows lazier programmers. u wont utilize the power of all those cores, on the contrary, just make the battery life shorter.
I only wanted it for a decent psx emulator on the go. I just want to play metal gear solid on my phone. and I don't see why I should buy another device when one device (N900) is so close.

so you are saying we should all work on our old amigaS? UPGRADES ARE GOOD you know.
I think he's making exactly that case and pointing out that the N9 isn't really much of an upgrade from the N900 at all for his purposes. The impression I got was that he would have preferred a beefier CPU, and it sounds like all the rest of the hardware and environment is likely to be irrelevant to his application performance rather than optimal at the high cost of purchasing a new piece of hardware. I would tend to agree with his sentiments, if that's the case. Correct me if I'm wrong, m4r0v3r.

Thank you for the clarification. But you didn't answer my question.
Actually, if the N900 is really close wrt PSX, it wouldn't suprise me if the extra 400Mhz and the fact it's properly optimized to the hardware with more up to date floating point ARM optimizations, would make PSX work well ... But we'll see.

Well, let's say it's 1992 and you want to upgrade your now discontinued Amiga 3000. Relatively affordable computers with faster processors do exist, but they're all i486s running Windows 3. Would you "up"grade?
his expression provokes me and make want to beat him senseless till he answer the question of why hes killing meego and why there not releasing any tablets. and when am satisfied maybe I get arrested. the problem is Nokia keep doing this crap. like making the keyboard version for developers only when it will obviously sell, I dont understand there business logic apart from lets kill Harmattan
