Don;t you think this is all a pointless excersise?.
Nothing concerning research is never really a mistake. And whether or not Nokia will support the N9, let's be honest. Does it really matter?
By the time I purchased and sold my N900 - within months - Nokia had already killed off Maemo, went to MeeGo then fired OPK... which meant Elop was next up to bat.
And you know the rest. Think of it this way... if you can afford it, you'll own a piece of history. I had a chance to fly on the Concorde - one of the last 15 flights, but couldn't break away from my project. I actually have some regrets about that.

Wonder who if anyone will take up where Nokia have left it? i mean the whole situation.

Does it have scrubbing like iOS?

Let me say that again:

If we want to scrub, we'll scrub.

No amount of us being upset about that will change a damn thing.

Who will take up where Nokia has left off? We'll see. Maemo came out of nowhere. Perhaps in a year or so, Intel will start pushing out more MeeGo handsets.

For my part, I'm interested in WP7, Windows 8 for tablets & Cordia HD because I feel that they get it right with regards to touch-based UI design.

For now, I've found happiness in Android and the Android Forums - XDA-Developers is a lot more active, helpful and conducive to tinkerers like myself than any other place.

As for Intel taking up MeeGo, yes it has to be a good thing after looking at the N9 ui, it astonished me to see such advancement on MeeGo but will it happen i wonder.
What ever happened to the MeeGo adaption for the N900? is that even being developed any further?.

@daperl
Thanks as usual
The reason i asked about the contextual search is cuz with the shitload of n9 vids i've seen, the quick launch has different icons. Some have search and some messages etc. It seems random/customizable
What are you working on btw? is it going to be open source?
Bummer on the QString bit
iIgger bummer on the fail of facebook on events page.
I saw n9 demos they were a bit apprehensive to show facebook in general, not a good sign i tihnk. Hopefully it'll all be ironed out pre sale.
How is vcard support? Nokia always did decently here imo.
How is the file manager?
