You know they planned on this release a long time ago but it turned out that MeeGo (& harmattan) took far longer to get ready than they planned but its finally been announced
some will feel too little too late but it still looks like a cool device im disappointed @ the camera i thought they would shove the N8s camera into it a slight positive though is they didnt put an EDOF camera into it
The UI shown to you is what Symbian^3 should have with the PR 3.0 update (dubbed Belle) that they've been delaying but supposedly its already ready
What sucks is theres 2 Versions of the N9
1) this one released to the public
2) a developer edition with Hardware QWERTY (not for public hence the 'sucks')
and if you're wondering why they're harping on Swiping (since it was available for awhile even on Nokia devices) nokias actually changed the function somewhat with "edge swipe" by doing so they removed the Back or Home buttons that usually take up the bottom of the screen as seen in symbian^3
meego is mix of Maemo + Moblin platform by intel.
this is meego device with Harmattan UX ontop which is planned to be for Maemo before the collaboration with intel.
so i don't think they will release any more device after this but i do know that they will continue to develop Meego platform on their R&D in the future which is according to the Statistic Pie they showed few months ago.

im well aware
and according to nokia they'll be releasing a harmattan meego device and a full fledged meego device
Harmattan is Maemo6 with some Meego compatability features which has Meego fans somewhat miffed that Nokia is even calling it Meego since its not a full meego kernel
theres no other Meego device or Full fledge one.. as Meego is a "Full fledge" already and Maemo is pretty much dead as a dodo... afaik Nokia is only releasing this (N9) and giving N900 a Meego update after that Window7 is pretty much their future Platform/ecosystem

yes i know maemo6 is harmattan thats what im saying.... its not the full fledged meego though (that's not ready yet)
Quote:
MeeGo Compatible
something that implements the MeeGo APIs, but is not necessarily based on MeeGo Core (for example Meego-Harmattan).
MeeGo-Harmattan
the default operating system of the Nokia N9. Successor of Maemo 5, but based of the Qt toolkit. Originally named Maemo 6, but later rebranded as MeeGo-Harmattan (provisional name). It is MeeGo compatible (that is, has a MeeGo API) but is not to be confused with MeeGo 1.0 Handheld as it is NOT based on MeeGo Core.

Just a bit of new info; Damian Dinning the guy in charge of Nokias Nseries Cameras (N8 etc)
Says that the N9 shoots 8mpx for 16:9 shots and 4:3 ones (instead of downgrading the mpx to shoot the wider image)
The LEDs are the brightest ever seen (the n86 was dual leds and they were the brightest prior to the n9 and the n86 was known for its really bright flash)
The camera records in stereo sound with each mic on separate sides (like the n93/i)
and just to reiterate the N9 has CAF and 30fps @720p
and here is supposedly a video sample from the N9 from italian reviewers (who have in the past shown video samples from just announced devices) not confirmed though as yet
it shame... that meego is dropped.. the UI/UX looks really fresh from other OS. The Best Multitasking Indeed... Nokia and Palm, it seems are the only one who can get this right. but only Nokia can get Battery right at the same time.
i hope when Elop get the boot ..(the sooner the better) someone would get the meego going again.

What i cant stand is they say "oh it'll be out in July #" be it a device or updates and then months after like September Nokia still hasn't released it and says "Oh it'll be out by the end of the year" and you know what happens at the end of the year
Elop said he would be making sure that's changed since he's up @ bat but so far it seems Much Much Worse
the Symbian PR2.0 update was supposed to be out mooonnths ago and now it sounds like it won't be out until a few months later (even though its supposedly long been ready as we've seen video of it ages ago)
hell PR3.0 is supposed to be out by now too
i just sooo hate Elop -_-
Oh and im not sure if you read my reply in RS Chat but the E6 should be out in July or August
It's already on Pre-Order in the UK for release by the end of June (so you'll likely be able to order it from a UK online shop if you cant wait)
I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but will do so tomorrow (at CommunicAsia). Looking forward to getting back into a Nokia. Loved my E71. Hate my X10, Berry is good for work.
