Thank you. So I will see on here that 'X wizzy update it a-coming' and then Mae (yeah, I already named her) will spot it and say "Can I? pretty please?" And I shall say "Later dear, when we get get home". Then on hitting my own wifi, I hit a few buttons, and she'll do the task herself.

Compared with previous firmware updates that sounds like a dream. (I recall the Treo600 update - I was so scared of bricking it I was err... passing bricks myself!)

Basically yes, but you will actually see it on your device you won't have to wait to find info on the internet. The application manager has a process that polls the repository for updates for installed applications periodically. A notification comes up (currently on the menu bar an orange exclamation mark, dunno about maemo 5) you can click this icon to launch the app manager and install the update. Firmware updates used to be a bit of a mess but since Diablo everything became a lot nicer and user friendly.

From the videos I've seen, it's the same on Maemo 5, although the icon is smaller.

I wonder why the tweet only mentions web browsing. Does this refer to an updated MicroB, or is it just talking about Fennec, for which we have already seen portrait screenshots? In other words, is this actually work by Nokia or not?

For the browser, yes.

That's exactly how it's promised to work. See this page for details:

I really hope for t9 support for texting - I have such difficulty full keyboard texting while driving, drinking coffee and smoking. This will make me a safer driver

No, this will make you a dangerous driver because you're not supposed to use a mobile phone while driving without a hands-free.
