So why announce it and risk diluting the exposure that would otherwise be given to a shipping product (assuming the N8 is launched at NW)?

Yeah, just like deleting the video linked in this thread. Media bang and attention - that's what Nokia like (not).

And where does the N8 fit in this? Nokia still need to get the message across about the difference between Symbian^3 and Maemo6/MeeGo - most consumers will be confused by the launch of a Symbian^3/N8 and then the announcement of a Maemo6/MeeGo/N9 device. Nokia need to get the N8 out there, hopefully bask in the great reviews and hammer home where the N8 is positioned in it's portfolio (last N-Series Symbian, or not?) then start nailing the Maemo/MeeGo message before announcing the N9 for the very top end.

Announcing the N9 too soon would achieve very little good and potentially do a lot of harm. Although as I've said, this wouldn't be the case if the N8 had shipped on time.
