To be honest, I believe the chances for any kind of interesting 3rd party support were completely killed during Elopcalypse.

Some -- very nice -- stuff will be announced on day zero, but for a few months already I've not been expecting any kind of extended commitment.
If you believe the 3rd party support for the N900 was bad, there is no reason to believe it will improve with the N900+1 specially considering there's no clear upgrade path for the N900+1 (while there was for the N900 -- in fact it was expected for Maemo "to take over" the high-end Nokia lineup, a sizable and most importantly _tangible_ amount of device sales).

Whether that makes such device the best the smartphone market has to offer or the worst crap in history, is up to you...

But, hey, new device. Let's celebrate.

no, I'm not an employee of Nokia or Intel.
sometimes I'm doing work for them (MeeGo afiliated companies). sometimes not. (for example as kojacker said as MeeGo Evangelist for Intel)

If you ask why I'm able to spread some information: I was successful to refuse signing NDAs in the past (could change anytime).
Everything I don't tell you is because of "gentlemen-agreements", because I could lose my reputation.
Everything I tell you could be up to changes.
for example last year I was told that the new MeeGo device will launch in november. that was not the case. I was informed some day in october.

at the moment it looks like there will be a developer device announced before the MeeGo conference and a consumer device sometimes after the meego conference. sometimes means in june as far as they told me.

We all go to pub just to check out if there are some fancy new smartphone prototypes, don't we?

If a developer device would be announced, how could one acquire it?

I would have to partly guess on that question. So better I say nothing, don't you think?
