No mather if they call it "for low end", "for hi end", "for toasters with touchscreen" - Qt will be the development tool of choice, I'm sure they will stick to QML like Harmattan and now look: In the N9 is a 1GHz single core CPU.
There are already some S40 devices out there with a powerful CPU - not the same core but very similar.

Harmattan is currently very snappy, and will 1 GHz single core in 2 years resist in a hi-end or a lo-end device?

It's clearly the Harmattan successor. MeeGo is only a name as maemo was. Perhaps they will add support for a T9 keypad on top - but the core system will stay nearly the same.

If you ask me I would put this system in a device with state of the art hardware. But if you look at Nokia as it is in the moment you can buy this system soon in a 50€ plasic phone with 3,5" touchscreen, 5MP camera and 8GB storage.
Good points. It already struck as strange that they will invent the wheel again but I was thinking they may have good sources to back up the story.

Most likely it will be Maemo 7 (MAemo 6 = Harmattan/Meego).
