Isn't there an IcedTea project which supports ARM?

even so we still know it will not support java apps out the box so it would not be in specs.

No. MeeGo, [and|including] Harmattan, use hardfp on ARM. This means binaries for it make use of the floating point hardware in the processor. Maemo 5 is not hardfp. Binaries for one cannot run on the other, so all applications must be recompiled.

The exceptions are applications written in interpreted languages, such as Python and Perl. Once their interpreter is compiled for Harmattan, they should run.

...or will there be a new set of Maemo6 repos with their own Maemo6 apps?
I believe there should be a Harmattan OBS. In fact, there's been an effort to allow open source application developers to target Maemo 5, Harmattan, and MeeGo.com's fully open Meego by submitting to one OBS.

Here's a nice video comparing the N8 to the Motorola Atrix, and perfectly summarises why we don't need dual core but a well-made OS. In the video we see a single core 680MHz N8 vs a 1GHz dual-core Atrix, and it's the Atrix that lags quite a lot, pinch to zoom is stuttery, look how cumbersome it is just to scroll in photos. Some things are faster obviously, but not nearly fast enough to assume it has that much more power to it. Yet another reason i won't go Android, and another reason we don't need dual core

I'd rephrase it - well designed programs. Having several cores gives minimal benefit, if some program eats 100% of a single core and 0% of the rest, since it's not written in a scalable parallelized fashion. Modern multicore hardware by far outsrips most implemented software which utilizes only a small part of hw capabilities.

EDIT: link updated, working again, added a second to have the barbara streisand with me...

Looks like AndroidMeego to be honest!

Facebook fan page[0] claims that it is MeeGo, MeeGo official FB-group[1] didn't afaiks.

I think it suffice enough for you to fix your own spelling mistake in the title.

The video is new-oldness.

Any way to tell if that camera pic is EDoF or auto-focus? Couldn't see much new aside from confirmation that the leaks so far are right. Glad it has the keyboard!
