More than 512MB, sure. A9? I doubt it. I doubt anyone will have A9 based phones for some time.

Apple did that with their 3GS back in 2007. The hardware was the main factor to attract geeks like us and people who would want to do things faster than waiting 10seconds for a task to load.
Err, you sure? The 3Gs came out ~3 months before the N900 was announced and had virtually identical hardware. And no, Apple does not attract "geeks like us," they don't want us because we do things like jailbreak the devices and escape their walled garden. And sure, it's easy to load a task quick when you can only have one task running at a time.

What's a bad OS? I wouldn't say Maemo (5/6) is a bad OS, it's just not optimized for the flavor-of-the-month iPhone crowd. In terms of letting me do what I want, it has no equal.

On the other hand, an A9 backing Windows Phone 7 (or iOS) would be the biggest waste of silicon I could think of, since the OS deliberately limits what you can do with it.
