Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in conveying my perspective as a new smart phone buyer. The ability to use "dosbox" isn't compelling to me. Nor is using the device wearing mittens or with fingernails. I think people only "prefer" using their nails because it's what they are used to having to do. Again, I am not in this demographic. I think using a stylus is something long time smart phone users cling to because it's what they know. I get that. However, it's not what I know or want to know and whether you like it or not, this sentiment is growing. Call me shallow, but being fashionable does matter somewhat to me. Frankly, I think in a world where the iPhone exists, using a stylus looks silly and old fashioned. An OS that can comfortably accommodate my finger is preferable to me. Maemo 5 appears to be able to do this 90% of time and that's good enough. It's just not ideal in my opinion. There are plenty of other great things about this device that make me want it. I'm just saying the screen, or the 'ability' to use a stylus, fingernail, mitten, etc. isn't one of them.
They're maemo and MeeGo... "Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
