That is weird. 1.1.3 was available on 1 september on the Qt site.
Why was it only added on 28 september on the nokia developer website?
Also in the release notes it is called firmware beta 2.

Not necessarily a reflection of fw that will be on the N9...
Tis just to get it up-to-speed with what's on the N950's already I imagine.

Even if it is shipping with beta2 fw, I suspect an update will be along in short order.
They've always been pretty clear that 950 is a step behind bleeding edge builds..
So as 950's have been beta2 for quite some time, there'd be an update for N9 owners shortly after widespread availability.
Maybe earlier, if some work out how to get it by "less official" means.

Santtu Ahonen is Head of Runtime Product Management at Nokia.
Beta2 firmware was released 19th September.

Most likely the marketing name will be something we know already (Maemo, Meego, S40).
Previous references to Meltemi seem to indicate either S40, or tablet-targetted, but definitely Qt, and supposedly an organisation that can make use of people who were working on Meego.

(/me can't remember the codename of the Meego-based project that would follow Harmattan ... what was it?).

I think all he means by "on par" is just that, roughly on par.
There's still an internal, more "bleeding-edge" build...
Which we'll see not long after widespread availability of the N9.
It'll probably be pushed to N950 & SDK then too....
