If you use camkeyd to bring up the task switcher, you still have to select the thumbnail afterwards. btw, from the photos that I have of the test N9 consumer device, I cannot tell if it has a camera button or not. I can see 3 silver coloured buttons protruded on the right. Looks like Volume up, down plus a power/lock button just below it. I really hope it does have a camera button. If so, we could probably get camkeyd-like daemon/app created for the N9 as well anyways. =)
K123, can you confirm if it does have a camera button or not?

What do you guys think the N9/Ion/U will cost?
The hardware will not be high end... So I guess € 450!?

I hate phones that have no separate camera button.

except the SoC everything else is „high-end“, especially
the OS!
And if guys like k123, zeh...are not playing games with us then the way you interact with this device seems „super-future-high-end.

Not forgetting that this phone got HDMI out that is not present in TI OMAP 3 soc.
Mmm confusing...

webOS feels more like a phone OS. PIM: I would say they're on par. But webOS doesn't have a homescreen/widgets like maemo where you can put a calendar overview. So you have to start the calendar app. But I'm not a heavy PIM user, I only trust my brain..
Yes, the camera is a downgrade. I love to do macro shots with the N900. Not possible with a webOS device up to date.
There are some similarities regarding the UI comparing webOS and Harmattan. No wonder as the webOS UI designer works on Harmattan now.
That is what I like about Maemo 5. Nice color themes (fully personalizable) and and good sized buttons.
I do like the Typeface of webOS. I use it on my N900.
Besides isn't Skillman the person who designed the hardware? And Mattias Duarte the software?

edit: It does have camera key as it seems.

The U8500 is the SoC Nokia will be using for their Windows Phone devices. If it will be used in their first devices: I don't know. Based on the statement that the Consumer Harmattan Device will use the same SoC as their first Windows Phone devices, I assumed it will be the U8500.
Clear enough?
