Not likely. They are using N900 as test platform for developing MeeGo for the future device and they actually stated in early Maemo 6 / Harmattan documents that the ARM platform will be same breed as in N900. Most likely just a bit more up to date and with higher clock speeds, but core technology is likely to be the same. This also enables the community version of MeeGo to be developed for N900, with help from Nokia personnel (binary compatible with official MeeGo, including Nokia's Ovi-software...). So, I'm actually quite relaxed about the future of N900.
