My prediction: the N900 will be able to run Maemo6 and the new device will be much like the N900 but with capacitive screen, and maybe more memory. Maybe without keyboard.
there should be a poll about it ("do you believe the N900 will run maemo6?").

i personally think it most probably won't.
  • they know users want a statement about this. not saying anything when they should at least have an idea about it by now is telling.
  • if M6 supports multitouch, it's likely some operations will actually require multitouch. no N900.
  • i don't know about technical implementation details of DRM, but couldn't DRM require some sort of hardware support, too? even if it's only a nasty little ROM that's specific to M6-models.

oh how i missed these speculations...
