Even though the camera is crappy, it may still provide a fun opportunity to do stuff like these travel snapshots on Qaiku:



Speaking of which, will it be possible to add other photo sharing services to Maemo 5? Would be cool to be able to post "Picture Qaikus" directly from the device (without the clunky email workaround).

Sharing interface is pluggable. There is already plugin for Pixelpipe available for beta (see video on Youtube). Doing Qaiku plugin wouldn't be hard.

Turning off the transition effects doesn't turn off the OpenGL requirement.

No, they don't. The equivalent here is having a 4th generation iPod. It can't run the OS of the iPod Touch, it just doesn't have the hardware to pull it off.

Maybe not (I'm not too familiar with the wm internals) but it's not a hard requirement. Mer manages just fine without it.

This is basically what mer is.
If running the latest firmware like this:

means "better" I'll stick with substandard, thanks

It is a hard requirement if you want to use Hildon Desktop from Fremantle.

Is it also if you simply want to run (I mean, compile to the same api) applications?

Hildon Desktop is the only thing using Clutter as far as I'm aware.
