Tuxera specifically mentions MeeGo on their exFAT for Embedded Systems page. The language related to MeeGo on that page has been toned down, but as recently as June, the page proudly proclaimed MeeGo as a licensee alongside Android.
That doesn't imply anything for the N9, of course, but there may be some MeeGo devices at some point that ship with exFAT support enabled out of the box.

And for that you need a bit more power then the N9 will have, so the need is there.
But still for some reason, I tend to think the N9 won't see the day of light with the A9 inside... It is still too recent. For exemple:
OMAP4440 - 1+ GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore + PowerVR SGX540 GPU + C64x+ DSP + ISP
There is no public need for all that power just yet...
"The board itself measures 4.0 x 4.5 inches and includes not only the dual-core OMAP4 chip but 1GB of RAM and a plethora of connectivity. There’s WiFi and Bluetooth, HDMI capable of 1080p HD video, DVI, 10/100 ethernet and USB 2.0 (two Host, one OTG); you also get an SD/MMC memory card slot, serial port and audio in/out, along with various other expansion connectors."
I think the N9 would be nice enough AT LEAST with:
OMAP3640 - 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX530 GPU + 430 MHz C64x+ DSP + ISP
What do you guys think?
If Nokia releases N9 with A8 and one month later the A9, with better preformance and less power consuming, comes it will look bad. With that I did not say I'm not going to buy it if it comes with A8, it will take more then that to make me stay away from that piece of awesomeness.

Sigh. Is history always doomed to repeat itself, gentleman?
(See discussions -- even my own, back when I still had some optimism
-- about the N900 CPU back when it was in the making).
Somebody will ALWAYS release something better The DAY after the N900+1 comes. You can count on that. If it doesn't happen, humanity is doomed.

Most of stutter during multitasking is due to IO not CPU, so you definitely want more ram before dual core cpu for multitasking..
Just use FeedingIt rss feeder, let it sync all the feeds. And then start doing something else. It is just crunching the cpu.

a) FeedintIt is a heavy IO use app because its downloading to local storage. You have both Network and Disk IO.
b) IO heavy in most cases = cpu heavy.

But dont get me wrong, im still hoping and wishing the N9 comes with the A9

Word! If I always waited for the latest and greatest I would never buy anything.
And by the way I understand all those waiting for the A9 wich will probebly be out at max 2month after the N9. It is still 150% faster then the A8 and 2x better then SGX530. That is not a small difference! With that performance I guess even the laggy maemo 5 will be lightning fast!
But really, if the N9 does not have A9 who would really go to android to get it? After having a N900 for 6 months I will never buy an android phone

But for generic fast device response the bottleneck should be widened.
