That reminds me -- the N900 is supposed to include GPRS and HSPA but I<br>
don't see how that's any indication of it being more than a data device.<br>
Sure, it may be subsidized by carriers but so are a few net books now<br>
and they're not phones. Also, I don't see anything in the specs the<br>
Mobilecrunh released that are that different from the current gen IT<br>
(e.g. screen size, etc) that would make Freemantle unable to run on the<br>
N8X0 tablets. So where did the rumor start that it won't run on current<br>
hardware or is this just speculation based on the transition from the<br>
N770 to the N8X0? q.v. <a href="http://tr.im/oFOd" target="_blank">http://tr.im/oFOd</a><br>

That's why Freemantle won't run on the current tablets without being ported. Aren't the current tablets OMAP2? The new versions will be OMAP3 and have 3D graphics acceleration.<br>
