As far as at least one Nokia employee is concerned, they have already 'delivered' the N9, which I think speaks volumes.
And your a great pessimist

Given the time that I've already invested in the Meego-Harmattan platform, nobody will be happier than me if I am proved wrong.

Can't see it happening, though. The boss wants rid of Meego. And that's that.

1. yup

2. by the time the average user can see one in the store next to other phones, the "average user" will see that it doesn't have a dual core (uhh only 1 proc, and only 1GHz? uhhh), or a 3d camera, only 720p?, no HDMI out, etc etc, lather, rinse, repeat...so they will pass.

sad really.

That's not how the original story read to me...
You got a source link that explains further, the exact nature of the apps they're dev'ing?
That's a cop-out if that's all they're really doing

Video Toad FTP: this'll probably be integrated into file manager anyway.

If it isn't, then this is very cheap, and seems to work well.

An awesome development relating to the UI
http://felipec.wordpress.com/2011/08...sane-behavior/
Some great comments relating to this development:
This is exactly what I was hoping would happen!
In it’s normal use meego-harmattan swipe behaviour would mean a swiping out of an application would bring you back to the screen from which you started that appliction.
Which might mean you’d need an extra swipe to get to the screen you’d really want.
Now with the option of customisable swipes, you should never be more than one swipe away.
For instance on my n9 I’ll be using this swipe scheme: up = app screen, down = kill/close app, left = notifications screen, right = multitasking screen.
Much more unified and efficient behaviour I think.
I wonder whether there’s the possibility to use two or more directions of swipe to initiate an action also… ie. Left and right swipe together = start an application
Or even swipe macros which could be started by holding down one of the volume keys for a while followed by a series of swipes that then does something…
this ones probably just for the hardcore users though.
<snip>I’m wondering which, out of the suggestions that have been made so far could be implemented by the community (without having to re-write huge chunks of code that is).
The application specific swipes could probably be done assuming that the trigger to make changes to mcompositor.conf active is lightweight with no side effects.
Pretty much all the other suggestions look like they won’t be possible to me……
Oh hang on! All this swipe gesture stuff is developed in the open (gitorious/meegotouch/meegotouch-compositor*) ?! That’s pretty awesome.
I'm loving where the above might be going....
How cool would it be, if we could have something similar to quicksilver, but for a smartphone touchscreen!?!

BT4 (but conflicting info suggests it still may not be there; I'll ask Zeh @"N950 Vs N9")
https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=18246

This suggests at least FM TX should be possible...
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ng_FM_receiver
But according to this FM TX "&" RX is looking unlikely (asking about BT4)
