PR_1.1 for tune-ups and bug fixes is about to be released and PR_1.2 with new features is at an advanced stage so N9 users are at least assured of these 2 updates. Beyond that I won't worry too much. In comparison most Android users only get one os update from the manufacturer.
As for apps there's a good chance renegade (enthusiast) developers will keep the platform alive just like they kept N900 alive. So think positive and get your N9 soon.

Andy will be getting one as soon as he clears his tax.

It's good if Nokia do include new features in PR updates for N9.That's more than they every did for N900.
Generally Android device do only get single version update but with that update. they get bunch of new features.
Can Nokia deliver the same thing? I sure hope so.
Unless the aegis thing sorted out I won't be getting N9.I need easy debian & other cool stuff I had with my N900.

Anybody tried the firefox mobile 10 beta? Ok or not?
Cute tube not bad. Download, upload also can, very convenient.
Wifi is ok, since the router is upstairs. When downstairs still can detect. At shopping mall, MCD is downstairs, i one floor up, can detect & surf. E6 still better though, same place 2 bar, N9 1 bar.
Typing on virtual keyboard can never be as smooth as physical keypad. Nokia better not stop producing qwerty/slider phones, it's one of the few reason general public still choose Nokia
Love cutetube from my time with N900.One of the 1st proper app written with QML for N900.
IMHO the best qwerty product so far from Nokia is the N950 but sadly it's not released for public.Weird thing is N950 is getting more software support from Nokia now.ipv6 stack just released for N950.

Ya bro....did notice some bug....when it start rotating landscape or portrait....sometime the home icons didn't appear....but when swipe to other home....the icon appear back
anybody else notice this?
Try dig up the initial thread about this hack & ask others help to resolve this bug so the transition can be smoother.
But since the main UI is closed sourced it'll be bit hard to dig deeper into this.

Yes, the AI is better, but the AI mostly likely not newly develop, it could be taken or bought over from somewhere or at least the algorithm or structure/foundation. Just like Chess game, you don't have to develop from scratch, there're algorithm for it, developing from scratch can be very tough and many logic to consider, one of my college project was doing local version chess (Agong, Bendahara, etc) and the chess piece logic is different, but I face problem with to get the game working as I have to write my own algorithm and logic. Luckily it was not required, just need to provide the concept and can work in basic can already.
As for SIRI, there was AI chat bot since long ago, nowadays Chat Bot are way smarter and better, if you played with them, SIRI is nothing really; SIRI still falls behind but it's because SIRI needs to be more "educated" and "controlled", hahaha.
Firefox quite resource heavy, but it supports multi-tab, history, bookmarks, settings and plugins.
You paid for CuteTube? What about mediaDownloader?
N900 also have CuteTube but it's free.
Well SIRI was initially meant to be used by DARPA right?
Also SIRI was developed for a long time which is why the AI is better than regular voice recognition product.
Yeah,logic is the hardest thing to implement in chess.Some of my lecturers are doing chess programming during their spare time too.Quite complex.
Firefox...It promised many things but so far it failed me in MeeGo,MeeGo Harmattan,Maemo & Android.Somehow the app simply use too much of resource,hangs once in while & lags.Mozilla should try to improve these things first instead of just fast update of core firefox system.
