A public release of new firmware for Nokia N900 (maemo) has been leaked by a Chinese website. When the link to this firmware was posted on maemo forums, it was considered unauthentic but soon the experienced users tested it and it was found to be a real thing.
We were expecting a stable and public release of MeeGo firmware for N900, but Nokia is going to release another maemo version for N900 device.
Tip: You can read the details about previous version of Maemo PR 1.1.1 and how to update the firmware through over the air and manually.
