It's both - a standalone Accuweather app that also feeds it's information into the Events view. Similar to the Associated Press View that also can feed information to the Events view. Or the RSS Feed reader app or any 3rd-party apps that can send stuff into the feeds...
I will really think hard about this phone. I may just buy it to support MeeGo in the end, my current phone is the N900 but I did have a Dell Venue Pro running WP7 which is now bricked ... boy these are expensive toys.

Sounds like we have a discrepancy:

Search on GPS and only A-GPS is referenced.

Ah, okay. Let's see.
- No front-facing buttons, intuitive swipe UI.
The list could go on, but I think your claim has been sufficiently refuted. The duel between the iPhone and the N9 will be a worthy one. N9 is lacking the apps (and possibly future), but is clearly superior in many other regards.
About your list, though. Can you please tell me why the no front-facing buttons thing is being advertised as something new and cool? (the N900 doesn't have them either...)?
Because the only reason I can think of, is that the iPhone DOES have a button on the screen. And judging by availability markets for the N9, I can't help but conclude there was only one thing Nokia was thinking about when designing this phone: the iPhone 4. And global markets where the iPhone hasn't taken the biggest share of smartphones yet.
And I highly doubt your list could go on and on....
I just didn't want an iPhone replacement, but an N900 replacement. And if Nokia is about to abandon this ecosystem (you know it will), I don't know why they didn't do it the N900 way. Sorry.

the nokia site clearly says "Integrated GPS, A-GPS receivers"
Same stuff in a pdf spec sheet I can't find anymore.

Sorry, but what you wrote is a seriously misguided attempt to spin and twist an uncomfortable truth.
There are only two true advantages to the N9 vs. the iPhone, as far as I can see it:
- True multitasking
- Community repo for the N9, if it ever materialises. So far there are talks of it being 'possible', not concrete specifics.

- "Jailbreak" is a disclaimer away, rather than a hack away.
- A beautifully solid piece of hardware.
- No front-facing buttons, intuitive swipe UI.
- Tight integration of a large number of social services into contacts, dialer, global presence, and so on.
- True multi-tasking with excellent UI for it.
- Better camera.
- Call quality / no interrupted signal etc.
- A great notifications system (iOS is adding something similar now, but neither better, nor cheaper, nor earlier).
- NFC

Any HDMI-related accessory? Something similar to the NFC Bluetooth speaker?
