I missed this:
Err, you sure? The 3Gs came out ~3 months before the N900 was announced and had virtually identical hardware. And no, Apple does not attract "geeks like us," they don't want us because we do things like jailbreak the devices and escape their walled garden. And sure, it's easy to load a task quick when you can only have one task running at a time.
On the other hand, an A9 backing Windows Phone 7 (or iOS) would be the biggest waste of silicon I could think of, since the OS deliberately limits what you can do with it.

If N9 doesn't get Dual Core Arm and more than than 512MB, more flash than 512MB then I will not get the N9.
Apple did that with their 3GS back in 2007. The hardware was the main factor to attract geeks like us and people who would want to do things faster than waiting 10seconds for a task to load.

So you want a bad OS instead of a almost top notch cpu? I do not really get your thinking here...

SDXC opted for Microsoft's proprietary ExFAT as default filesystem, so devices with which you can use a SDXC card have to support r/w support for ExFAT. Only then do they support the SDXC standard.
Hence, if you just keep your card inside your 'N9' and its formatted say Ext3FS nothing is wrong. If you stick the card in your Linux laptop it will also work. But when you stick it in anything else (a digital camera, a Windows machine, a Mac machine) it won't work since these devices cannot read/write Ext3FS.
Theres some hope here 'n there tho
(Source)
Unfortunately a lousy solution since it all won't work by default which equals to the consumer won't eat our dogfood but will eat Microsoft's proprietary ExFAT crap.
many of us would hope the sd card, be it hc or xc,
would be mostly useful only as a permanent local storage
rather than for swapping in and out for transferring data.
(I thought that's why they invented wifi/bluetooth/usb ports
)This is only reasonable, of course, if the USB functionality exists
for external storage requirements. (which n900 lacks)
The inability to (casually) use it in a m$ environment I regard as a
highly desirable security feature - No one could simply pop the
sd card out and read it in their wincrap device.
I would probably (as suggested here) format ext3 and only ever plan on
popping it into my other linux machines on the rare occasion of firing up a new test-boot system or cleanup...

(with the assumption that maemo6 is like maemo5 but less laggy and better phone stuff)

The WA value is "Cpu is idle because it's waiting on IO to deliver data or code to execute". So it should be treated as idle for this purpose.
Of course, if one process is executing something small at 100%, you wont notice the WA value going up. In that case, something like top running over ssh with 1s refresh to your pc's display and checking that display for processes with "D" in their status column finds all the processes stuck waiting on IO..

Nokia to launch Meego in 2011

End of story. Game Over.
If Nokia wants to make a mark in the modern smartphone computing market then Nokia has to take a dive. Apple did that with their 3GS back in 2007. The hardware was the main factor to attract geeks like us and people who would want to do things faster than waiting 10seconds for a task to load.
