Why do you zip up a single pdf? Zips look some kind of dangerous to me in any case but more if a single file gets zipped up.

I also see references to "debian packages" and Maemo. I expect this document originated from Nokia, possibly started back when Harmattan was planned to be released as Maemo 6.

A couple of things worth highlighting:
  • The filesystem hierarchy won't be visible to the user. Instead, tags will be used to separate/manage content. I assume this applies to both the File Manager (if it even has one) and File Open/File Save As dialogues. Of course, third party hierarchical file managers could be created.
  • If an app has a toolbar, rather strangely this will appear at the top of the window in landscape and at the bottom in portrait. I'm not sure why both orientations don't have the toolbar in the same place.

If you're like me at least, when you hold your phone landscape, you have thumbs from both hands to tap stuff at the top easier than at the bottom - just from the way I position my hands

OTOH, when holding portrait, hitting the top of the screen with thumbs is awkward.

It might make sense. Dunno.

Judging by that document, the MeeGo UX is GODLIKE and PERFECT.

Must resort to caps since I can't quite contain myself.

To me it feels like a good mixture of being modifyable, but still very user friendly. Especially appreciated the bit about how user input must be followed without any lag.

Has anyone read the UI part fully?
What are your thoughts?

Banana&Pears includes a subliminal message: the first two letters make BP, I guess this is how they try to get into your head into not thinking about the oil dump!
