How can you say this ??? is this some kind of sick joke? lol.
Well we know that the next Meego device that Nokia is building is going be multi-touch with a capacitive touch screen. Thus they don't want to try to build two GUI paradigms (one for a single touch resistive and one for capacitive multi-touch). Or if they build a capacitive multi-touch one and then they have to figure out how to emulate a psuedo multi-touch.

Though personally I think that's a BS excuse. I think most people here would be happy with a not so well working psuedo multi-touch official build of Meego.

Of course this does mean we'll have problems with some app compatibility. If an app requires multi-touch, well obviously N900 users are hosed. Likewise if someone builds an app requiring a stylus, well capacitive users are hosed.
