The device doesn't even *know* about empty space (that's a filesystem level thing), it's all just blocks from it's perspective. Also note that wear leveling is just a part of the strategy, there are spare blocks, error correction algorithms, etc.
That's obviously a lot but we don't know the exact figures for the SSD used in the N900 and we don't know how efficient is the algorithm (specially if the SSD has less empty space).

Maybe its worth noting that clutter technically already supports multitouch through clutter-gestures which includes support for pinch zoom and whatnot, so maemo5 supports multitouch already in terms of the software just not hardware.

guys.
if nokia or anybody else makes multitouch the default interaction mechanism in ANY OS then people will simply not use it.
there has to be a mechanism for off device development and i don't see most desktop or laptops even having touch with one finger, let alone multi.
sure - there might be some vulcan mind grips in the software but the developers who put them in will be doing themselves a diservice (especially with QT multiplatform development) if they rely on it.

A twitter message from Eldar Murtazin (Mobile-review):
Compared N9xx with Samsung Linux device. But they think is not ready for mass market, have to w8 until 2011. Even now S is better, like it
makes one wonder...
