Announced, so a given.

There's been no indication that Nokia has reversed course to consider a portrait on-screen keyboard necessary. So: very unlikely.

- Added portrait mode for pdf
It's highly unlikely this is a priority item at this time. There are bigger bugs to squash. Also, community software, such as Xournal, can fill in here.

- Added mms
This may be added at some point, but I'd say it's unlikely to happen so soon.

- Added more options for videorecorder
Also unlikely to be a priority.

- Fixed noise issue with images
There was talk of work on various camera improvements at the summit. I wouldn't be surprised by some improvements to the camera, but "fixed" might be a hard target to hit for everyone, especially as the flash hardware simply is what it is.

- Increased battery life by 10%
Power efficiency is likely to see continued improvement. I wouldn't bank on any specific percentage though.

- Updated Ovi Maps to version 3.0
Nokia has repeatedly stated Ovi Maps on Maemo and Ovi Maps on Symbian are two entiely different programs, and the versions and features of each will be increased independantly. Therefore, asking for "version 3.0" on Maemo is meaningless.
