I started to respond to this, but it was turning into an essay, and I'm pretty sure I was breaking my NDA. Anyway, a few of your questions have been about usability. Rumor has it that Nokia is tweaking high-level functionality as we speak. When the dust settles, let's have a long discussion about usability. I've been using Maemo and iOS devices extensively for 3 1/2 years and I know what I like and I know what I don't like, as I'm sure you do.

QML seems very nice for devs i think, looks css'ish and javascript'ish. Should bean easy transition....but can it replace python altogether? It's that powerful?
As things stand, QML and Javascript can't completely replace Python and C++. C++ and Python remain the glue that connects the operating system to the UI. But adding glue between Python/C++ and QML/Javascript is ridiculously easier than writing Python bindings.

And now since you're so eager to post screen shots heh heh twitter app please
It doesn't exist yet, but as you can see, they have some of the infrastructure in place.
