so does this mean they are moving to intel chips? i mean if its going to be meego proper ... seriously wtf, im sitting waiting for a hardware upgrade and this canadian ruins my plans. bah ... now the hardware expectations are MUCH higher as a delay (speaking purely from the conference to announce presumably in '11) requires better optimization and a better device pd.

man i was hoping for leaks this week, and this is the EXACT ****ing opposite, damn im annoyed ... why leak a video in august then, if the device isnt gonna be seen for another 6 months ... wtf. i was waiting but now im gonna try something else, the usb port on my n900 is dead and i wanted to get meego instead of replacing the n900 ... what fustercluck.

Well likewise... But I am now glad (if this rumor is true) to have gone with a HTC EVO as my primary phone and didn't wait for the N9.

In reality N900 was also a 2010 event and not 2009, even though it was announced in september. I guess they are going to announce it in 1Q 2011 and make it available in the same quarter, or as elop said, announcements will be made far closer to availability in the future.

How so? As you wrote, the N900 was announced in September 2009, and it began shipping in November 2009.

Means nothing. My guess is Elop wants a clean break from the Maemo lineage. And no one sane is using Intel chips in a cellphone for at least another year, they have a loooooooooooooong way to go in the power management and efficiency front.

That said, this still says nothing whatsoever as to the existence (or cancellation) of any devices currently in the pipe.

We're 170 people in the meego-arm IRC channel with many from Nokia there.. many work on the common platform (that doesn't really care if it runs on Atom or ARMv7).. N900 port leads the way for ARM-based pure-MeeGo Handset, so trust me, we are getting help

He probably meant N900 was a 2010 event because it was almost impossible to actually get one before 2010, sold out everywhere.

Nice to hear about the amount of people!

but a company in the size of nokia can always do more if they want.

Here's the full quote.:

"As an example of this, there have been various comments made at various points in time about the anticipated availability of our first MeeGo device and versions of the MeeGo software. My first impressions of our MeeGo work inspires both confidence and excitement. However, it is also clear to me that our first MeeGo device will be a 2011 event."

Symbian seemingly inspires less confidence and excitement, 600 of the 800 Nokians losing their jobs in Finland are Symbian people.
