I would expect a more even advancement in all hardware aspects. It's an excellent camera, but so is a 5MP one or an 8MP one -- you'll be able to convince few people that they are getting more from the 12MP.

Yes, I would expect also better CPU and GPU. More harmonious progress in all hardware aspects would allow for a more capable device overall. Make the following comparison: you don't go to the gym to only work on your biceps, right?

Finally, there is the price factor. Why is a device which is overall less capable than N900 still $80 more expensive? Maybe without the camera on steroids it would be a more affordable option.
