And we have portrait mode.
 

was checking out maemo.nokia.com and saw a link to twitter showing the n900 will have portrait mode web browsing this year. i might be late with this but it still sounds awesome.

Oh that's good. But as web pages are at least just under 800px wide, I am not sure how that will work. iPhone style perhaps?

It's coming, full portrait support expected by xmas I believe.

A 'bear of little brain' question: I keep seeing comments about what 'is coming' by this or that date. My understanding is that the device will update itself (asking permission so I can stream updates at home rather than on the move at an inconvenient moment) and sort all that out itself, without my needing to 'know linux' to do it. I'd love to have portrait support - but not if it involves doing stuff waaay beyond my capacity. Am I understanding that right?

Updates like this will definitely be over the air through the application manager. There should be no reason to 'know Linux' to get this capability.
