As mentioned previously, it's an OMAP3430 (that should be running at 600MHz in the production model). The N810 has an OMAP2420 and 128MB of RAM.

Maybe it will be downclocked Again.

Potentially, but apparently the dev unit is basically a Beagle Board in a case. The Beagle is currently running at 500MHz (and using an OMAP3530), but TI lists the OMAP3430 at 600MHz (and the Archos 5 is running at that).

Really, though, there'd be little advantage to underclocking (and potentially a bit of disadvantage) with race-to-idle and all that. Fremantle's powersaving features are quite a bit more advanced than even Diablo's.

Any feedback related to the UI and taskswitcher magic we have been hearing about?

I also want to know about the UI. Do icons and task switching take up room on that 3.5 inch screen?

(posting from my n800 in a youth hostel so this will have to be quick)

The software running on it was basically a slightly newer version of the beta SDK. So there's nothing new compared to what you can already play with. I'll post more later.

Were there any hints that that the spatial HW support includes an electronic compass ?

Maybe a heavily modded one, if it really is a feature superset, it'd need to have GPS, accelerometers, the camera, etc. Also, it seems the 'real' BeagleBoard has some issues with the currently distributed beta...

Hmm.. Much less chatter than normal. I think everyone here is behaving in hopes that JohnX spills more dirt...


YARR!

Right, take that metaphorically - it's a developer board. If you were a company and you want to test your software, you'll have development devices that has HW features your software needs and can optionally use.

Hence, it's a 'beagleboard' (the OMAP3 board), with a touchscreen, keyboard and other things. But they are not the intended devices the software might run on eventually which may or may not have a specific subset of the hardware features.

But hell, even with a subset of these, I'd be happy with even a development device with the funny looking shell, just to have a hackable device with those components I can try my applications on before the actual devices are out.

Maybe it's worth considering in the future. If it is somewhat known what type of HW a OS would support, developers outside Nokia could easily use half-baked devices like these (apologies to the designers of them) to test things on and be ready for actual device launches. The devices being "Maemo Hacker Devices". They would be even more useful than Beagleboards as you don't have to get a touchscreen, keyboard, etc separately.

Yeah. I was pretty surprised too. I didn't really mean that people shouldn't comment or discuss, I just wanted to head off flames, arguments, negativity, and "me too" posts. Or maybe everyone is totally satisfied now?
