1_ You can run Python on a terminal and type some code to calculate pi to the 40th decimal case.

2_ It's small.

Ergo, it's mobile computer.
By that definition so is something like the N80. It's hardly equal to the N810 or even N900 as a computer though, is it.

Heck, you can even run LOGO or Prolog. Limitless potential.
I could run Logo & Prolog on my ZX Spectrum 3 decades ago. It was cool, but I wouldn't say it had limitless potential, even for its time ;-)

Can't wait to play with that baby now that a decent SDK is available, with easy cross-compiling...
The Harmattan SDK is still based on scratchbox 1, nothing new there.

BTW, I have been searching for official sources that it will happen only in September, at minimum. Does anybody have a link?... Is a pre-September N9 release officially (or semi-officially) ruled out?
Nothing official, but most of FInland goes on holiday during July so don't expect anything this month. At best if might be a few days earlier than "September".
