The chip is using Intel’s dynamic memory allocation tech and has a theoretical max of 512Mb of RAM that it can access but it’s more likely to depend on the VRAM it has on tap before going elsewhere.. The amount of RAM and or detail on the GPU outside of a PowerVR SGX core is not clear.

This is a common way to do internal/subsidiary development by Nokia (and others). Note that the system also has ethernet connected – this was also the case with internal development kit variants of N900. Keyboard and mouse are plausible to be connected on the “market” device since it has USB OTG, and this wouldn’t seem unlikely usage scenario with an HDMI-USB cradle, but in this case those are connected mostly for testing purposes. The device has also Nokia keypad driver, and nCDK is specified in configuration files to have something that would correlate with a slide-out qwerty keyboard. (BTW, I don’t believe GPU has half a gig of dedicated memory, but rather capability to map that much of shared memory when needed.)

Display resolution indicates that development is geared towards a handset – but some of components on the board seem like this is not quite as “final” board as N900 development kits. Many peripherals might change, or Nokia might have changed their component sourcing strategy a bit drastically.

And finally: remember that this is a MeeGo bug repository attachment. Although sharing some of the code and knowledge openly is a benefit for them, they most likely have internal development (that uses their internal, very non-public bug tracking system) that targets different hardware – and of which they have kept their mouths particularly well shut lately.
