As we all now, the n900 has a 600 mhz CPU and 256 mb of RAM.
To tell the truth, nokia could give the n900 more advanced and powerful components like: at least 800 mhz CPU and 512 mb of RAM.
Do you find the current spec satisfying?

We expect from the n900 to be a mobile computer, to run multiple applications at the same time and to run kde and other desktop environments. Will the n900 handle all these?


Feel free to reply!
You do realize this thing was probably designed a year ago. 800 mhz and 512 mb of RAM might be out now, but wasn't available at the time and currently not available in the market now (device for sale). There's a reason Palm, Apple and Nokia have the same hardware.

I would expect the maemo 6 devices to have 512mb of RAM and 800 mhz - 1 Ghz processor given what's sampling now.
