I don't understand why you're so excited about Mono. I rather see full Java support.
Doesn't understand too ...

Imagine a N900 being a lot like N97
I hope not ... i prefer that they keep the current display size...

To be honest i think there will be a break in the community ... but look at Palm OS device ... you can't update the system, and there is also many break in the api (in two way).

But i hope Mer will be a success ...

Angstrom was console mode only on the Collie when I left the community. Opie was "dead".

Ah,, GPE, that was it. Maybe the logo confused me - look at the Gnome logo side by side witht he GPE one. Remove the thumb... hmmm...

Yeah, I remember Miguel saying this back in 2003. He must have meant the distant future, because it's already five years later now... :P

The Maemo 4.1 browser is still performing quite good compared to the alternatives fitting in your pocket and of course the browser shipped with Maemo 5 will be much better.

There are different opinions about what is better and worse about screen resolutions and sizes. Maemo has a flexible UI that can handle many resolution sizes and X/Y combinations. 800x480 is serving well the compromise between computer & Internet experiences and users pockets and eyes and keeps being the default assumption.

Hardware details to be shared when a new devices is announced.

We won't be able to "upgrade" to Maemo 5. We will either have to get a new device (to be released sometime this year) or use Mer to get many of the Maemo 5 features on the current devices.
