The actual teaser doesnt show a model number at the end (liek the old vid you showed us) and is nothing thats looks like an advertisement i know for phone shwn in tv-spots... so this teaser is not an advertisement and not for the public audience watching american idol...

If a CEO is talking about a device, he is talking about a consumer device for the masses.

So it is really possible that this device has already been produced last year and now they want to provide it to the developer (for money or for free). The developers would have time to make some apps and then, when the real killer phone is ready for release, we will have the most needed apps ready to download...

But if you are right, nokia would launch 1 device to the masses, but that device has zero apps and nothing to show except of the build in things in the first days... Would you buy a phone without any app already written? you would have to wait days/weeks until the most important apps for you are ready? How makes this sense?

Maybe you will because you can write your own apps, dont know you, but i dont know how to write apps so i need the help of the developers... and the mass cant do it either...

Think about this...
1st, apologies if i included you in the "kiddo bunch".
haven't seen such a structured post for i don't know how many pages

CEO being Stefan Elop, yes, i'm sure he is (he doesn't care that much about MeeGo, does he?)
i guess you didn't go thru the whole post i referred to, so i'll explicit:
Rich Green (that's from another video i picked up on this thread, actually) has a weekly meeting w/ the MeeGo team.
even though he is not going to tell us all the nasty little details, but he explicitly said:
«we do plan to ship a device from our MeeGo program some time this year and i think it is critically important to deliver that and to get the feedback from that [...]»
the next part is a little odd
«[...]as we evaluate the feedback from MeeGo »
but considering that his sentences are a little less streamlined in that interview, maybe he meant about?

anyway, doesn't sound like "we are going to analyse the feedback from MeeGo and based on that prepare our consumer device" does it?

i'm a hacker at my hours, but most of the time i leave it to a script to "automate" things a little, thus, no, if the phone came w/ MeeGo 1.1 for mobile phone, i wouldn't want it, neither.
then again, dixit Richt Green...
«[...] it is beautiful and elegant and the hardware is interesting and the software is powerful [...]»
does that sound like MeeGo 1.1 ?

then, there is Maemo.org, the community behind Maemo (and hopefully MeeGo when it comes out on a "productive" device?)
even if the powerful software is only as basic as Maemo 5 on the N900, i'll wait for Maemo.org or MeeGo to fill in the gaps.

i'll get one ¦-)
w/ keyboard.
like i said before, if RM-680 wasn't FCC.ed for MeeGo Conf...
