That being said, this device is not a game changer. Its a mee-too. Which is great. It'll force the innovators to innovate more.
Maemo 6 isn't a device, its a platform or operating system. And my estimate is that first devices for M6 are announced in 2010Q4, so lot of things can happen before that.
I think Maemo 6 would be announced much sooner than that. It is very like that it would be announced in the maemo summit scheduled on october this year in Amsterdam.
Finally, a worthy competitor to the iphone OS.
A very good competitor I must add. Full linux experience, Multiple customizable desktops, Multitasking.
_Full linux experience_
Sounds scary.
It even includes anonymous troll developers (look at the video).
