@ysss You're right on the money. The point I'm making is that its all about marketing and spin. 'Intel Inside' and a high clock rate CPU will really give the PR people something to play with. I still wince at a tablet device being advertised as 'an incredibly powerful computer' when it's little more than a big mobile phone without the phone function. Advertising lately seems to be telling lies and getting away with it.

@maverick788us The N900 was/is a great device, I love it to bits but it's still pretty much regarded as a flop. I'm not sure it's commercially viable to produce a device just for 'technical enthusiasts' any more. Nokia will need to sell the N9 in biblical quantities and there just ain't enough geeks in the world. The N9 may well disappoint you deeply as it will have to be a fully commercialised device, not a niche one like the N900.
