It would be nice to see what the chip set is. Even the wireless chip set.

ccmcphe: Any specific commands that one could run from the command line to find out what drivers are being used? The community guys at Nokia World might be able to answer the chipset question by telling you the loaded drivers...
For now, post over in the N900 Questions thread if you have any questions about the new device that you think could be answered by the community members with their hands on one of these devices...

Compass + accelerometer = Augmented reality w/ low CPU\bandwidth usage
Otherwise you'll have to process the movement from the video feed or something.

Does anyone know why the N900 lacks 802.11n?
This seems to be a strange omission.
So, did anyone catch this detail in the specs from forum.nokia.com:

- costs extra
- is optional to the device (when profiling your audience)
- needs separate power
I have no idea of how much AR apps would really matter in the realworld without a headgear-type setup. I think it'd be awkward to take out your smartphone and aim it around and around when you need to use it
BUT.. rumor is, Apple is going to make this 'a feature' in their next OS increment. So I'm expecting the community here to ***** about how apple didn't invent AR but profit from hyping it up and taking up all the limelight (and secretly envy Apple for doing so).

I don't know about the compass being unfaithful, maybe it should drink less.
