Must admit it would be ironic if the N900 is delayed juuust long enough for word to get out about other Nokia's on the roadmap. It would hurt their N900 sales.

Come-on Apple if you dont tell me now that you are bringing out an iTablet then you are lying ... rants on...

Riddaculous ..
heck, they are still trying to figure out how to get the unit to actually run more then one app at a time...but i must say, they have done a heck-of-a-job promoting the heck out of thier new iPods that also make phone calls.
besides, if they did bring an itablet out, you would have the abililty to do anything you wanted on! absolutely anything.....so long as APPLE thinks it should do that! :P

Releasing the Maemo 6 SDK doesn't mean that the device that goes with it is around the corner. The Maemo 5 SDK was first released in Alpha on 2009-03-02 and in Beta on 2009-04-28.
Given what Nokia has done in the past:
Maemo 1 - N770 - November 2005
Maemo 2 - N770 - November 2006
Maemo 3 - N800 - January 2007
Maemo 4 - N810 - November 2007
Maemo 5 - N900 - November 2009
It would be logical to expect Maemo 6 on the N910 (?) no sooner than November 2010.
Or can you run Maemo 5 on N8x0 officially (it should not run by paper, it should run at a decent speed)? If I bought a N900 I don't know if it's supported next year when Maemo 6 comes out. And it looks like that.
This is the same way Nokia takes with Symbian. Even Feature Packs can't be upgraded. I'll never understand people buying iPhone and paying this high price if iPhone isn't upgradeable by software.
If N900 isn't upgrade you lost A LOT of money.
But it looks like in this forum you get much more money than I get... I'll stop here.

So we know the Maemo6 device will have the same screen and OMAP3.
My prediction: the N900 will be able to run Maemo6 and the new device will be much like the N900 but with capacitive screen, and maybe more memory. Maybe without keyboard.
i personally think it most probably won't.
- they know users want a statement about this. not saying anything when they should at least have an idea about it by now is telling.
- if M6 supports multitouch, it's likely some operations will actually require multitouch. no N900.
- i don't know about technical implementation details of DRM, but couldn't DRM require some sort of hardware support, too? even if it's only a nasty little ROM that's specific to M6-models.
oh how i missed these speculations...

First I was a little disappointed when Apple released their specs for the new iPhone. I won't buy one for many reasons but since everybody is eager to build an iPhone killer it seems to be a good pointer for future development of smartphones. Then after some thoughts I was impressed because Apple decided to go with software and not to split their user base among many incompatible hardware.
I don't know if smartphones are already at the point where every new PC had to be MS-DOS compatible many years ago, i.e. hardware is just a part of investment and software becoming more and more valuable investment that is well worth to be protected.
It seems that Nokia still sees themselves mainly as hardware company. Otherwise they would at least tell something like we will do our best to ensure that future versions of software will run on as many smartphones as possible.

I guess this guy still walks around with some coins in his pocket JUST IN CASE he needs to make a phone call on-the-go...
I dont like this argument of "if i buy it now i wont get the much better thing that is right around there corner... say 1-2 years"... Maybe I should give a damn and I would have much much more money under my mattress...
