Why? Whats the benefit of Multitouch except for pinch to zoom (wow) and rotate images with two fingers (how could this ever be usefull? i mean if I want to turn the picture i just turn the phone...)

As I understand the main reason why MeeGo (with Nokia UI on top) won't be officially supported on N900 is because Nokia's UI are quite optimized for multi-touch/capacitive screens.
Sure! Maybe Nokia will support MeeGo for the n900 if we all replace our screen with an capacitive one!
Seriously, the main reason is because the n900 is dead and Nokia is lazy.


I thinki every UI made for Multitouch will be useable with non-multitouch screen. Just replace pinch to zoom with swirl to zoom and rotate with accelerometer.
