I agree with Rob Jackson, those probably wont be out within our lifetimes. First and foremost is the problem with the rogue <b><a>whiskers</a></b> that are still baffling top scientists to date. Second, there is yet to be a market for such items as the general populous couldn't even come close to touching the price tag on that. And finally, who are we kidding, is there something I don't know about yet that lets us construct things to microscopic levels? I mean, we're good, but not that good... yet. @robisaks, (ref: Morph) and @Rob Jackson, (ref: BMW) although those videos are quite nearly orgasmic, (Oh to think of the possibilities with either, its freakin’ Pwsome!)

Maemo is Nokia's Linux OS (what they run on the 770, N800, N810, and N810-WME). A few months ago they said that their next, 5th generation Maemo device (fan-labled "N900"), would have HSPA built in (the previous ones were Wifi only), and a few other enhancements. So, I see a few likely possibilities here: 1) They're going to announce the N900 2) They're going to announce a phone based on Maemo (not as likely, unfortunately) 3) They're going to announce an N or E series version of the Tube (the touch screen "Xpress Music" device) I think #3 is most likely, #1 is 2nd most likely, and #2 is least likely. Though, #2 is what I'd like to see the most, extended to cover a few different hanset formats. One like the E90, one like the E71, one like the E66, and one like the N810 (side slide qwerty, they have one of those about to come out, but I don't like its design much). I doubt Nokia will ever have an Android device (phone nor tablet). It's much more likely that they'll have a Maemo device of some sort that has Dalvik on it. Symbian isn’t Nokia’s Linux OS.

I remember seeing this back when it came out... but I don't think they could POSSIBLY bring this to market so quickly. And even if they could, it wouldn't be affordable. I hope they prove me wrong, as comments above already prove I'm capable of making errors, but I think the Morph is a SUPER long shot. That Nokia Concept will come out the same year BMW launches this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTYiEkQYhWY hehe pretty cool right? thanks for posting that Morph link though... good thinking! I hope you're right! UPDATE: just saw your comment on "open sourcing" symbian. They've already said they are bringing it open source. I think you're on the right track though... I think it will be about the Symbian OS and perhaps not tied to a single handset. @robisaks: that would be AWESOME awesome AWESOME if its what Nokia had planned.

Thanks to the collective community editors who caught the slip up!. I've edited the article to reflect what it SHOULD have said initially: "We can be pretty sure it isn't an Android based phone since Nokia owns Symbian, which competes directly with Android's Linux based OS."

Symbian isn't based on Linux... “since Nokia owns Symbian, a Linux based OS that directly competes with Android.”

Symbian isn’t based on Linux…
