These things stuck out for me.
Switcher
Tasks are shown in the order they were opened, from left to right. Every time a new task is opened, it pushes the previous task panels to the left and adds its thumbnail view to the far right.
Users can use a pinch multi-touch motion to change the switcher into an overview mode. By pinching in, thumbnails move into a grid display. The grid can scale up to a 3x3 version, thereafter the switcher then starts to create new pages. Pinching out, while in the grid mode, changes the view back to larger stacked mode.
Reminds me of N8's horizontal stack view for multi tasking minus the pinch to grid function. Not sure how I feel about swiping to get to the window i want. However if you can default this view to grid - then i like
UI Feedback
You can use tactile feedback alone, when it is appropriate to confirm the user’s action, but a visual confirmation message is too much. For example, connecting the charger and the device starting to charge (as opposed to not starting, due to a wrong charger type, for example). In this case, haptic feedback can also be used because the user is in physical contact with the charger connector and the device.
This is just great. Makes sense doesnt it? I'm also quite annoyed that a message tells me everytime I unplug my phone from the charger that I should pull it out of the wall to save power. Ok. I get it.
Text Input
MeeGo provides support to both virtual and hardware keyboards
Good. I need me a physical keyboard.
