For me it would be enough to have single touch actually working, and not registering multiple clicks with a single tap.
Oh, and a device that doesn't break after a year of mild use...

I believe one of the afternoon presentations (I think it was "multimedia" on Friday, track 2) featured an actual board that was meant to be used in a demo. We only really got to see it waved around though, as it seems they did not have the right VGA connector to hook it up with the room projector :-)

If this results in app authors not using caching, or forgetting about an "offline" mode, they'll get a slap for reasons I outlined ages ago. Primarily:
  1. Data is expensive, or has usage limits.
  2. HSPA coverage is patchy at best.
  3. Planes are offline zones.

Indeed. I chatted to brontide a little before leaving using Bonjour in Pidgin in Ubuntu. A breeze to setup; would've liked to have it on the tablet as well.

Will have another look to see if it works after a clean reflash in the next couple of days.

What I doubt (but I don't see the future) are:

-that this is Nokia's idea for the N900. Telcos are Nokia's main customers. I don't see Nokia directly aiming at their business.

Besides, telcos have an ace up their sleeve: they can always lower call rates to voip levels. I explained why this technically a better solution for them. I can also say that they can afford it: call charges make only a fraction of their business nowaday (less than half in Germany). Of course this may not be sufficient, since the customers are not rational in their choice and strongly believe that voip is "free" while cell rates are "expensive" whatever the price actually is.
I can say first hand that Nokia had VoIP in mind when developing the 770. Nokia is not directly aiming at the telco business; they are doing an end around.
