apparently, its going to be announced at the MWC in feb. For more info see the link.
Given that they show a picture of an N810W with a caption saying it's an N8 running Symbian^3, I think it's safe to say they're making up nonsense just like everyone else.

I don't want to derail the thread too much, but can you give me a quick run down of what has changed then in the past few months?

Not sure what article you're referring to, this was what turned up in google:
http://www.t3.com/news/nokia-meego-'...nt'?=50205

I'm sorry to say that I think T3 is rather lame. Whilst they do sometimes score a "scoop", mostly the magazine is pretty much worthless as a source of technical information IMNSVHO

Their problem is the british media disease of needing to oversimplify things. Also, because they're in print, they have to rush stuff out to make their deadlines, and often don't seem to have time to check articles properly for accuracy. You can tell that many reviews are written with little or no hands-on time with the device (or the reviewer didn't actually understand what they were doing or simply rewrote another gadget site's article.

At least they turned off article comments, which were filled with spam and nothing else.

I used to listen to the T3 podcast for amusement value, even though it was pretty crappy, but they broke it somehow, I pointed out to them that a podcast verification tool showed their syntax was defective but because it worked on ipod/iphone, they didn't care.

Oh dear, sorry to have ranted. Anyway, I wouldn't believe anything T3 wrote unless I saw it elsewhere reported by the original news source.

For every one QT job posting, there is probably 100 to 500 job postings for Java. If you disagree, you clearly are not a professional developer.

That sounds like FUD. You can't possible make such a generic statement. Where are you basing this statement ?

FWIW, most python code uses libraries which are written in C/C++. This means that only a small fraction of the actual program runs in python. I hope you're not benchmarking a for loop but a full program instead.

Also, you cannot compare those two languages since java practically does not use any libraries at all. At best it has language extensions but not any libraries that other non-java programs may use. Python on the other hand mostly uses existing platform libraries and wraps them. As such, you cannot compare a gui program written in java and in python since the java version will have a very very bad gui with many limitations. Just try to make a GTK or Qt or Wx or ...(fill the blank)... -based gui in java. Since you cant, you cannot perform realistic speed comparisons.

First, I have also read that hybrid plan several months back. I'm not sure if it was true or not. Was it ever announced from nokia or some unknown blog? But since then several things have changed. Ari jaaksi left the building. Elop took over. Stallman and some other women were hired(never learn the name). I'm pretty sure they all have a leading role when it comes to meego. And they want to do it their way. Not Ari's and OPK'way. Now what does this information give you? well no real information about meego or the n9. But be sure Plans have changed...
