Think about it for second. What kind of timescales do you think are involved when you are sourcing millions of pieces of different components from numerous manufacturers, making the hardware design(not just how it looks on the outside), and stabbing the software to make the different pieces of hardware work together as they're supposed to and putting all that together and delivering it to dealers. Enough complexity even without radical last minute hardware changes.

Over a year ago!!!!!!! You've said it yourself. 1year ago f Nokia said N9 will be ARM11 would you still saying that N9 still running ARM11 now?
Well I would've wondered why the heck they'd downgrade from the N900.

Hardware spec do change from the time it is planned, I personally think that you can't just take the rumour one year ago too seriously.
The thing is, it isn't a rumour if it comes from the person responsible for planning the products.

After all Nokia said N9 will be Maemo6 now Maemo6 is becoming MeeGo. It didn't stay as Maemo6, even the OS name can be changed and they said alot of thing about N900 and promises but in the end they dropped the balls.
Yes, it did stay as Maemo 6! The software on the N9 is Maemo 6 renamed as something else for the exact reason that they wouldn't have had time to move to MeeGo core in time to deliver the product when planned!
