MeeGo bug reveals a juicy Nokia device, possibly N9?

We just found an appetizing specifications list of the unannounced Nokia Meego device. Specs have been unearthed from a MeeGo bug report. Could this Nokia N9 or Nokia has developed an even meaner new device?

It seems Nokia is cooking up something big in an attempt to finally score some pressing against the contest over at Android and iOS camp.

A German website-NokiaPort. they have uncovered some-fairly detailed hardware info from a leaked bug report.

The dominant aspect of specs include a 1.6 GHz Intel CPU, 1 GB worth of RAM, Wireless N connection, a WVGA resolution screen and a FM transmitter. Can this be Nokia N9?

The Finns are still at the top, but the last couple of years we've seen them lose much of their market share for competition that Samsung, for example. It may be due to their decision to continue to support Symbian, while the rest of the producers showed Android or new pharmaceutical operating systems. MeeGo might be Nokia's last chance to regain lost ground and regain once loyal masses who now use Google-branded smartphones.

IT's been almost a year now since Nokia and Intel has decided to combine their Linux-based Maemo work and announced and Moblin's lovechild-MeeGo.

IT's also almost 6 months since N9 leaked for the first time. Perhaps it is high time that Nokia is launching a device that is running the new operating system. Oh, can't we wait this MWC to come.

Nokia MeeGo Tablet picture and specifications for surface, we hold our breath

We just dug out a photo of a Nokia-branded MeeGo tablet, together with certain specifications. Packaging telephony and a landscape interface we don't know what to do drive, but it might just turn out to be hotly anticipated Nokia N9.

Drive image is obviously a really early prototype, like most of its hardware isn't working and there is no custom UI seen by Nokia. But we got some specifications for the hardware, so it's not all bad.

Packaging a 4.5 "screen Nokia MeeGo, half-tablet half-phone supporting 3 G with HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. MicroUSB port is not mentioned, but it is now mandatory for all products sold in the EU so we'll assume there too.

Nokia MeeGo Tablet

An accelerometer built along a gyroscope. The camera is also present, but we cannot confirm its resolution. If this really turns out to be the Nokia N9 and earlier rumors is trusted can we see N8 highest quality to this.

Of course there is always the possibility that this is only a reference design for engineering needs and we are getting all too excited without valid reason.

What makes us a little bit suspicious is visible on the screen the mouse pointer. But does the leaked list of current bugs involves a failure to operate the device through the touchscreen and MeeGo mouse input so it would just be a Bluetooth accessories.

There's also another theory, Eldar Murtazin from will's Twitter account. According to the editor-in-Chief of mobile-review.com N9 has received the axe and Nokia has chosen to develop another device instead. If that's true, it explains why the styling of the device above is so unlike those early N9 shots we've all seen.

Update 25 Dec: we are afraid we have some bad news for you-apparently the device image is nothing but Ericsson U8500 reference platform. Now move along, nothing to see here.

Hope there would be a MeeGo smartphone announcement coming next month, so that we could finally stop with all the others.
