Forget about IOS/RIM/WP7/Bada/Symbian...
the future will hold a challenge between "MeeGo vs. Android" only
both Linux based OSes are supported on various brands like HTC, Motorola or SE etc... these are opened platforms
and Intel as successful corporation being behind MeeGo is a great thing, this will speedup the recognition of the OS and will get wide support from 3rd parties even faster and better than Android did.
On the CPU front: it's known that faster MHz doesn't mean coding newer programs to take advantage of it like the situation on dual-core, dual-core needs to be reprogrammed and optimized for multithreading just like the case with PC desktops, when you run an unoptimized app you're basically consuming only 1 core of 1Ghz CPU just like on an old snapdragon
so, 1.2Ghz atom vs. 1Ghz dual-core = 1.2Ghz atom WIN on ALL apps and games not only because more Mhz but for its better architecture (Intel's history prove it on both desktops and laptops front).

I have read that N9 will be based on 1.2 Ghz dual-core ST Ericsson platform.

Ex nokian, 20 Jan 2011MeeGoo is doomed in articles by experts.The market is awaiting this os as it has been herald as the os to beat. The only thing that can doom this phone is poor hardware. That too shouldnt be a problem. Even if it comes with just 680mhz proccessor it would be fine. As long as it has a good GPU. A hackers dream, a developers dream. Multi-booting os's like the n900. Developers modding the os to create shells to run on top of the os would also create individuallity. Now thats versatillity!

I can't help but feel that any news piece about Nokia is always more interesting than other news. It always attract lots and lots of lovers, haters, fanboys and even readers who doesn't know anything about OSes. Compare the number of comments it has received to other news.

I think it's unlikely to be an Atom. I have something other in mind... more in my blog: http://eve-c.org/f4w

Mr. Jinks, 20 Jan 2011What about UIQ? That would be cool on a N9 Handset. I got the P1i and I rock all other phones!... moreTrust me, you don't want UIQ! I just sold my Android phone and am waiting for some newer models to crop up. Meanwhile I'm using my old W960i and it is just a pain.

AMH, 20 Jan 2011yeah true in a way. Let's hope the battery would be good. Cause Atom is awfull when it come... moreTrue. Thats my concern too. Android is fine were it is now. I think some work needs to go into power management. Nokia has to get that right or it would just be a disaster. I believe that if they get this right, a little pocketable computor wherever you go is a reality. Just what the market needs...what i need!!

I need clarifications!! I'm currently conducting a study... more- Is Symbian^3 still available?
Yes
- Is Symbian^4 the successor to Symbian^3 or the predecessor to SymbianOS?
Neither. Symbian will have no version numbering anymore, features will be added to the OS as they come, and not in a numbered fashion as ^3 ^4 or ^5. Continuos improvement. (Very good an unique)
- Which kernel does Symbian^3/^4/OS support?
Symbian
- When can we expect Meego?
Q2
- What the hell is UIQ?
Forget it, Ericsson UI on top of Symbian OS. LIke S60 5th was from Nokia

Is UIQ more similar to Symbian^3 or Symbian^4 which is now SymbianOS and therefore not Meego?

Lucia from Spain, 20 Jan 2011Does SPB offer migration from Symbian^3 to this new Symbian^4? I would really like to transfer... moreThere is no S^4 now! It has been scrapped as it was way too similar to S^3. So now only meeGo and S^3 for NOKIA.
