Nokia N9 or N8-01 Leaked. Symbian, 8MP Camera, Qwerty Keyboard

Nokia N8: Will 256MB RAM Be Enough for Multitasking?
iPhone users rejoice today as they finally get a taste of multitasking. Nokia users have been doing it for a while now, but with certain limitations. Running too many multiple apps in the background results in “memory full” errors. Previous Nokia N97 and N96 power users are aware of this. Is the Nokia N8′s 256MB RAM memory enough for multitasking?
