The Competition: Nokia Goes Maemo, Announces N900

Nokia has announced a new, Maemo-powered N900 which our good friend Matt Miller of NokiaExperts.com is beaming about in an iPhone and Palm Pre competitive sort of way:

I have to say I have not been that excited about a Nokia product for quite some moment and with the T-Mobile USA 3G support I will definitely be picking one up as soon as I can. The N900 fixes all that is wrong with the N97 and thereupon throws on a slick Maemo UI and feature set that should have most any geek drooling.

32GB, OpenGL 2.0, ARM Cortex A8, 800×600 screen, 5mp camera… Pretty clear that Nokia is doing their usual hardware magic, many specs closely mirroring the iPhone 3GS, in

fact (though what’s up with 1GB of application memory?!) And Maemo 5 UI…

Does that mean Nokia is abandoning Symbian on the high end for that hot new Debian Linux-based OS? Will they be able to really come up with a user experience that can take mind share away from the iPhone and Palm Pre? And will that device finally give them some sort of presence in the North American market?
