And yes, the device in the photo (HTC Desire Z) is made of two parts, it has a QWERTY keyboard.

Until Nokia says otherwise, you should believe what they have already said. There is ONE MeeGo device coming to the market.

There have been SEVERAL developer devices involved in the MeeGo/Maemo lifeline, and all of these have been quite difficult to get for outsiders.

I first heard about that project back in 2007, and I also know there are numerous scientists working with nanotechnology since the last 90s. I would've though by now some kind of physical demo could've been shown

Sigh, if companies were so secretive and instead share their knowledge with others, we could advance a lot faster in human technology. And we wouldn't be here worrying about MeeGo, lol

They share a ton. Much of it is too far out for many consumer applications. Some of the apps in Nokia's BetaLabs for both Maemo and Symbian platforms come out of NRC research though.

The disruptive aspect of what a Nokia Maemo/MeeGo device could be, coming from that lineage, shouldn't be over or underestimated.

precisely!
the only thing we heard from NOKIA so far is that there would be ONE device.
no indication whatsoever about other specs, except in Rich Green's interview
(« it is beautiful and elegant and the hardware is interesting and the software is powerful »)
anyone heard anything more?

For the consumer device photo "game":
How about that handset in Real Steel trailer? Or does screenshot count as photo?
That phone looks like something in polycarbonate case with N8/E7 style caps at both ends. If imagined without that case device would be pretty slim.

Okay, let me pull away some exaggeration and just quote some faulty web reference from January 2010. I just remember that I've been reading the tag "Maemo" on the GW990 several times. There was a bit of "will come with this OS, will not come with that OS after all", etc.

http://news.techwhack.com/11550-lg-gw990/

LG GW990 comes powered with an Intel Moorestown processor

LG has showcased a new smartphone model that comes powered with an Intel Moorestown processor!

This is interesting considering most other high performance smartphones are coming with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

LG GW990 supports the Intel Maemo mobile platform.

Clearly this is a misunderstanding but since early 2010, LG has been flirting with Moblin+Maemo=MeeGo.

how can you trust someone who is sitting behind his desk thousands of kliks from there right now?!?

nearly nobody from Nokia besides Quim Gil, Mikko Terho and a bunch of Qt devs are here at the conference. The conference is about MeeGo, not Harmattan.

I trust him/her because information in the past was correct. Some of these infos were late, though, like cancelled distribution of Harmattan devices just was said to me one day before conference.

I don't have any knowledge of the morph project, I doubt it is actually a project inside Nokia. As far as I remember it was only a concept from a student.

1) is the picture a photo of someone that happens to be using the phone
2) was the photo taken at the MeeGo conf
3) does the photo show the front of the phone
4) if we show you the right photo, will you say "no comment"

1) no
2) no
3) yes
4) I can even say "yes" or "no"

The problem is I can't find it on the net and I won't upload it.

I got today the photo with the information that this is the consumer device and that it was sometime ago leaked to the internet.
