- No OMAP4, as it's too late and OMAP3 was already mentioned (thus no Cortex A9).
- It will have a capacitive screen.
- No SDXC support, as Linux doesn't support writing to exFAT currently.
- No accelerated desktop OpenGL. OpenGL ES 2 only.

The rest of specs either don't matter (bezel color, exact CPU frequency, ...), can be guessed easily, or are related to whether it will have a keyboard or not (something I'm not going to put my finger on yet).

Pipe dream people... don't get your hopes too high because nokia is well known for killing peoples hope. There is NO way they we will get a device before the end of October, NO WAY!!!. They haven't even finished the OS... They better get their act together before Gingerbread comes out.

Please lets keep these "dream" specs out of this thread.
I do think N9 will have A8 inside, but what do you mean that it's too late? If Nokia would be putting A9 core inside N9 that decission would have happened long long time ago and N9 earliest release(end of Q4 this year) fits to the supposed OMAP4440/OMAP4430 shipping to customers, Q4 this year.

Right. And then I woke up. Silly humans.

.edit
Get real people with your wishes. Sadly we are not yet speaking about desktop computers where you can just hocuspocus update components. We are talking about bulk devices that need beforehand reconstruction of cells and manufacturing lines before they are made. This means that HW is probably locked down year or maybe more in advance. Surely in future there will be mobile devices that you are able to probably even upgrade yourself but not yet.

Exactly. And it happened more than a year and half ago, back when you couldn't even try to boot Linux on a OMAP4.

No rw support for exFAT, rather. SDXC works fine electronicall and mechanically even on the N800, it's just a function of using a non-proprietary filesystem.

Resistive screen with gorilla glass wins the most absurd spec award.

I want the Nokia Morph !!!
That's my dream, now University of Cambridge, make it happen!

Actually, there have been some Palm handhelds with both resistive screens and glass.

If gorilla glass 'd work with any sensitivity, that I don't know.

for use with proper audio equipment ... some ppl cant carry their stuff around but want to sample DACs and AMPs with the music they listen to regularly. it would be nice to be able to output audio digitally ... usb is jittery though and so is HDMI however the HDMI has a much higher bandwidth for audio.

supposedly the N8 outputs audio over hdmi as well ... i have not read this officially though.


about the N9 having omap4, i dont think its so far fetched ... TI is a huge partner with nokia, omap4 has been available for quite sometime, since february i believe. now the blaze platform was only just released, shipments of the chips to manufacturers began a while ago, so it would fit the timeline of 12-16 months for producing the next top nokia device. TI has said that the first finished products would appear Q4 this year. we shall see, even if its omap4430 ... the battery savings would be near 40% according to TI.

as far as a capacitive, im saddened by this, i like using my screen whenever i please ... regardless, i hope the screen is 1280*720 if its not, thats cool too. but if it is, that would go a long way for recording HD videos, and viewing pictures.

i have no proof, but the november conference and the scope with which nokia partners with TI, its unlikely that they pimp the older proc, but then again the N97 surprised everyone with the weak proc ... so theres precedence for us to be let down immensely.

omap4 ftw!

about the FAT32 thing ... i dont get why SDXC couldnt be supported. up to 2TB per partition .. is it purely linux, cuz it doesnt seem like its a table allocation problem.
