At around 28 seconds Yes you're right, to say that the TS was taken from the NITs would be naive and wrong, but to say that Nokia have incorporated parts of the scheme and programme from the NIT design into the N97 and most likey future TS devices would be more of a correct summary, imho.
That was quick! I can't really determine anything. Hard to say they are widgets in any way uniquely drawn from NIT and not just generic J2ME widgets. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_engine
What I found unique about the homescreen widgets in the NIT was that they were movable about the screen and easily selected on or off by the user, and I can't tell that from the N97 video.

There really isn't enough there for me to say how much "scheme and programme" there is. And I have to say I am not familiar with the Tube, so I just don't know at this point.
