Unless there is a real enhancement such as ovi maps with T by T, flash, emails client issues fixed, call drops fixed,call answer staying active till the answer button not clicked or rings our... there is no point of 1.3.
Nokia is probably just showing off that we can do dual boot and it is upto you what you want but ultimately 1.3 could be the last ever release for Maemo

2) Probably run a little slower - but the N900 is still very powerful and it will run it just as well.
To be precise, 27.00GB internal Free out of the box. 2GB is used for Maemo application and 756MB used as SWAP.

Probably to keep totally unrealistic expectations in line.

To fix issues? Why do you honestly expect a firmware upgrade to come out? To add major functionality that weren't mentioned on the box when you bought it?

There is no proof that you're not convinced. Show me a web cam picture of your non-convinced face or I'll continue believing you're an Apple employee.

2) what limitations will meego have running on n900 given that the n9 is more powerfull in terms of hardware?
Currently, the ability to dual boot meego means absolutely nothing to end users, since meego is not finished. The whole thing is completely overblown and should only interest developers and testers. This is nothing new, since you've been able to dual boot meego for a long time already. read how here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900

1) It means you can choose to run meego instead of maemo when you turn on the phone. Accessing media on emmc from meego is not relevant at this point, but you can access it from both operating systems.

2) N900 will not run Nokias Meego/Harmattan that the rumored N9 probably will run, so they could look and act very different. Since we don't know what Harmattan is like, we can't really say. About Meego/Harmattan: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=14

Changelog is accessible only inside Nokia, that is true with every company out there. Internal work will not be revealed to outside world and PR1.3 will be released eventually. We all know that and we all know that anyone out there could have faking it for the sake to get KUDO thanks counts from people on the forum.

So if there is no proof of your Nokia employement then I'm not convinced.
Crap, I'm a terrible liar. My bad...

Who really needs 1.3???
Only if you expect to get a good maemo on a great device even better!!!
The community fixed the big problems (pbap, battery consumption, hildon bugs) for me and made great extensions (thanks nicolai for your tools)!
n900 is an absolut stable, great device with good battery life on power-kernel with hildon bug fixes.
hildon-desktop extension: matan did a great job with modified-hildon-desktop.
I don't want to go back.
...and so on...

So i lean back, relax and see what MeeGo brings to us.

Greets, davall
