The N900 "mobile computer" will feature version 5 of the Linux-based Maemo (OS) operating system, codenamed Fremantle.

Nokia N900 has also high features including a WiFi, an HSPA, and 32GB of storage into a touchscreen device powered by an ARM Cortex-A8 with 1GB of RAM. Maemo 5 supports desktop-style multitasking, Nokia Messaging and a new “cloud” UI.
