Ok, of course it will support X86 since it will be also released on PCs and laptops.
But as far as I know the next N### device will use an Intel CPU, will it be X86?

No x86 on mobile handsets for at least a few generations.

intel dropped all arm support for quite some time ago (they sold it)
But i can't believe that we will get an atom based N900 successor. That will be still a ARM based hopefully a Cortext A9 (dual that would be really great) but it seems that the successor is already pretty soon so i guess it will be a A8 then i do hope that they choose the 3630 instead of the 3430 of TI OMAP's

The next Maemo6/Harmattan/Meego1.0 by Nokia is going to use an ARM chipset only, specifically the OMAP3/Cortex A8 series.
This was confirmed here.

What the generation after that will use, nobody can say.

Okay, so MeeGo supports BOTH the x86 and the ARM architecture officially.
And we already know that the next Maemo device (powered by Harmattan, which will also be called MeeGo at the time) will use an OMAP 3 chip very similar to the N900.

Also regarding nanometers, ARM design always seems to be one step behind.
Cortex A8 has 45 (so does my core 2 duo but it's anything but new) while i7 is built on 32 nanometers and the technology for 20 nanometers has already been announced.
The fewer the nanometers, the lower the power usage.
Also this would be a great step for cross platform applications and we could install the same .rpm on our PC as in our mobile device.
IMHO this is the future, I can only hope Intel and nokia will make it happen a lot faster

If the rumor that ARM will be bought out by Apple plays out, I'm sure the Nokia-Intel coalition will go 100% x86.

Is this possible considering the complexity of X86 vs. ARM?
