But it probably will require a 1Ghz to run smoothly, because that is already state of the art for smarthphones in the next 1-2 months and I suspect the new iphone having 1Ghz cpu aswell.

Full-potrait is coming to Maemo 5, is what I gather from the rumblings. Multi-touch is IMHO a fetish, but YMMV. But 1 GHz? Qt is more bloat? I suppose the only reason to move to it is because Nokia bought Trolltech then? Anyhow, all that is likely another forum.

But it is awful marketing to hint that the next version of the OS will not run on a product that isn't even rolled out yet. Just 'cos Microsoft can get away with such things, doesn't mean Nokia, with their botched launch, can do the same.
