That's Ilmatar. Harmattan has targeted OMAP3 since Harmattan was Maemo 6.

- Nokia has already canceled contracts with many Linux support centers, e.g. the one in Nuernberg, Germany. This indicates that the N9 will never become available in Germany.
You seem to be implying that Nokia won't sell a Linux-based device in a country unless they've established a special Linux support center there. Am I misunderstanding you?

- Nokia has sourced out Software/Symbian developers to Accenture and sold the Qt-rights.
Nokia sold the commercial licensing rights, yes.

Furthermore, the Nokia MeeGo development unit will be shut down in June 2012. It is very likely that Nokia was forced by contracts with the MeeGo alliance to produce at least a single working end user device.
I've not heard the phrase "MeeGo alliance" before. I like it. Very science fiction.
