I think page 17 of Kate's presentation alludes to task switching problems that are "Fixed in Fremantle." In the end, I think Maemo has been a bad multi-tasking marriage with the n8x0's. The screen and input freezing I experience regularly would be unacceptable on all other devices/platforms that I use. Maybe we've all put up with it because we still can't believe that someone actually created these cool Linux-based devices. But the honeymoon's over.

YMMV
