Hmmmm
"While it was ok to compile stuff on scratchbox using Maemo SDK..."
Maybe the RX-71/N920 won't use the same desktop as the N900, but instead KDE... hmmmm

From aseigo's blog..
Maybe not this time, but I have no doubt we'll see more Linux on more Nokia hardware.

"opinion it's some Nokia, probably N-series. It has to run S60 as OS."
3 incorrect (though plausible!) guesses
"Or is it some secret project you can't talk about? "
yes. hopefully it won't be secret for all that much longer, but it's not a done deal yet and currently involves some unreleased hw/sw.

I think this is some Maemo branded device we will se next year. See? No Nokia, No N-series, no S60

If true, will be a nice test to check how 'open' Maemo is.
cool.
cool.

I would speculate it might be the Nokia arm netbook that is said to come...

Official KDE summary about "mysterious device" (among other things):

KDE and Plasma on ARM
The Plasma developers worked on running KDE on a so-called "mystery device", a working name for a class of relatively low-performance devices based on the ARM architecture. As a reference device, the developers used a 800 Mhz ARM CPU with 512MB of RAM. During the sprint, KDE 4.2's Plasma was presented running on the device. The overall performance was quite good, although it showed room for improvement. Even without having an accelerated graphics driver available at this point, the developers were quite happy with the performance so far as Souza a.k.a Morpheuz reports on his weblog. Using Qt 4.6 on the device gave another boost in speed. "Even with the short time available to make Plasma run on the device, and without having a proper graphics driver available, we can now be sure that running Plasma on this class of devices is absolutely feasible. I'm sure that, with a bit more integration work, Plasma will offer a premium choice for UI technology on this new class of devices." concludes Souza.

Hmm... The article says low-performance... Strange...

Entry (like others) is about Tokamak, meeting for developers of KDE Plasma desktop shell. They get for testing "mysterious" ARM based device. Hardware was without proper SDK, but they get Plasma running almost perfectly (no SVG support).
Add to this fact that lead Plasma dev, Aaron Seigo, who is sponsored by Qt Software, pushed (with very vague explanations) for "netbook profile" designed for ca. 7" screens.
Conclusions are left as an exercise for readers
