Sure I expect to see dual core in devices probably next year.. but the thread title is "the next" device... I thought I read that was for sure OMAP3 which is not dual core.
I would agree, my post was meant to point out that it's OMAP4, not OMAP3 that has what is traditionally considered a dual-core device.

While the "confirmation" can always be rescinded (it was, after all, made before Meego), the length of time to get a device designed, certified, and into production would argue that if Nokia is going to meet the 2H10 ship date (which, of course, can also change), the N910 will use the OMAP3 processor (although, hopefully, a faster version).

I would guess the big innovation, besides Meego, will be a capacitive multitouch screen with no keyboard so that Nokia can judge customer acceptance versus the N900.
