Oh, man, that's too bad! I installed Scratchbox and ran the i386 SDK desktop (are we going to have to wait for the beta before the armel one works?), and that level of UI responsiveness is what I got out of the box.

Perhaps my setup is important: I have an nVidia 8800 series video card and I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.

And by using my x11vnc tip that I gave above, I can use that UI on my N800. It looks at least as good as the YouTube video, and I can use my fingers to do the clicking. The biggest problem on the N800 is the lack of a virtual keyboard.

lcuk: Perhaps you need one machine with a medium- to high-end nVidia card running Ubuntu (at least, dual booting to Ubuntu) to do dev work on Fremantle... You can use x11vnc to forward the display to your touchscreen devices...
