I'm just going to go ahead and say it would be awesome if we could enable this ( http://betalabs.nokia.com/betas/view...-photo-browser ) for the desktops :D

I'm pretty sure you can do that, by only ticking three out of the four screens in the preferences.

Regarding extending to more screens, I believe qgil said the desktop would be open source, so it could presumably be extended by the community. There are probably other limits you would need to tweak, such as the total number of widgets allowed on the desktops.

This is true. The desktops "loop."

Would it be possible to be able to tag one of them as your primary, and have some sort of hardware button shortcut to get back? Or, to fix it so that doesnt endlessly loop, making it like the iphones desktop setup?

You guys need to try it out before making all of these suggestions! :D

The whole point of multiple desktops is to have multiple user space where you can add shortcuts, widgets etc.
Why have a primary desktop ?

Instead its better to be able to recall the desktop with a keyboard shortcut - say Fn+Ctrl+1 for desktop 1 and so on ...
But seriously with 4 desktops, it isnt that difficult to scroll anyways (in case the key shortcut is missing feature for now).

Having more is also a performance issue. Anyways, as most people here say, even 4 is plenty. The more you have, the longer it will get to to get to any desktop (because it's 1d navigation), and the more you need to remember.

But yes, there is a setting for 1-4.

Ummm. More like None. It has "unlimited"(?) screens for your installed applications, but those aren't virtual Desktops.

..but in Maemo 6 with OMAP4 we see cube right :o ;)

Great feature though since this allows comfortable full screen usage.
