Either way, there have been multiple Android devices with different touch screen technologies and with different processors, so the point is moot.

I can't call that "what the N900 should have been". Who wants a phone that big, except maybe on their desk?
There's a bit more information in the SlashGear post:

Just because it ships with Android doesn't mean that another OS can't run on it right? Would it be possible to flash it to run something like Maemo?
