That number can't be right...

It is time this Nokia device will bring multi-touch as well.
Because it is all about usability and user friendly that a device gets traction from the masses...

I don't get all this fuss about multi-touch. Yes, it can be exploited to bring some nice features, but I don't see how it is that much mandatory.

Then there are applications on iPhone that ppl want them ported to maemo, but they need also UI re-design if for the multi-touch gestures buttons or scroll bars need to occupy the screen for zooming and other things achieved easily with multi-touch.

Because it is a patent of Apple. I don't know how Palm Pre got it...

Multi-touch is over rated. Quick, one-handed navigation is my requirement for my device. I spent some time with the Palm Pre and navigation was super easy with one hand with quick thumb gestures to do what I needed to do. I was thoroughly impressed until I opened Google Maps and it required multi touch to zoom. I was actually irritated that I had to use two hands to zoom. I'd rather have faded + and - buttons on the screen for zooming.
