OMAP3 is just the bare minimum baseline. Nokia can't let it debut on OMAP3 unless it's accompanied by something higher end at the same time.
But my guess is its not a nokia..

Well I don't know what it is, but one thing is sure: Meego Handset development and QA is being done almost exclusively under the iCDK and nCDK reference designs, which are both based on Medfield. You can find that info easily on any recent QA report for the Meego Handset weekly image.
N900 is still supported and there is development taking place, but I wouldn't bet on Meego debutting on an OMAP3 platform.
2) I'm pretty sure Nokia has their own platform/product testing organisation that works behind closed doors, not in meego.com.
For these two reasons I wouldn't draw too much conclusions at least about the first Nokia products based on what happens in meego.com.

My take is that the screen mount is pretty standard which is why they look similar.

Intresting to see Atmel QTouch chip . Atmel seems to be very opensource (atleast on AVR8/32 bits AFAIK)
+ This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
+ will be called mfld_nfc

But still I dont think nCDK is nokia. I mean even the n900 has Nokias own modem? Or is I remember wrong :-O

Pointless? Yes. I have a camera with a special CCD sensor where the pixels are arranged in a unique pattern to optimize color quality and reduce noise. It can also simultaneously capture two images of the same scene and combine them to make an instant HDR photo. Or, it can just take one picture with extra high sensitivity or at the highest possible resolution. So, it's a 12MP sensor but is combining two 6MP images together quite often. I'd prefer to see some cool technology like that, but unless you see a Fuji logo on the phone, don't count on it...
So yeah, we can pull apart the code again and see it supports full manual controls, max 1600 ISO, 100 fstops, 1080p video. Whatever. They could still write a crippled UI or put a shitty lens on it.
You know what's more interesting? They mention the secondary camera driver, I thought it's boring, who cares about that, but the OV2720 actually shows an existing product, and it does 1080p too. So, they want to give us TWO good cameras? I think they put too much work into this crap to not ship a version to the public, but it doesn't look like I can afford it.
