Hei Zerojay :

I understand what you've saying.. but I didn't forget my post from the past :
1) Canola stays simple.

Why ? Because the version that will be launched is exactly the SAME as the old one, improved :
Music. Video. Photos. Shared (UPNP) and Media
the only difference is to workaround a major problem...(upnp servers) we separated it in it's own menu.

Carman, webkit etc, are just "experiments". Why? Because for selected people (interested) in use Canola in their car, Carman makes sense. Instead of installing 2 applications, go to the website and install a simple plugin (but canola remains basic)

Webkit? We don't care about browsers.. we just want to be able to draw on the screen the PODCAST description, or even another kind of html rich text, that is a standard today. Unfortunately the only way to render html text / info is to have a runtime. We are just playing around with the one that eats less memory, because the use is pretty simple.

So please =) there is no play random things, everything has a reason when we are showing experiments... the real thing is only the basic media player, evolved to fit the request of the users.

"album art", "podcast download", "picture thumbnails", "better scanning", "less cpu usage", "less memory usage", "no web configuration" etc.

So the vision stays quite clear :

To be a simple, finger driven environment to consume multimedia and internet content on the nokia tablets.

*if it's in the car? =)

**Forgot one thing: that HUGE amount of balls you can see in the second video are actually duplicated just to make sure the menu is correct, is not meant to be a menu like that. but if we end up with only 10 features or so, we can throw away the sub menu and be even simpler =)

*** I think Patricia ( who designed the icons) would be quite happy because a lot of icons would just die hehhee
