1024x576. ****ing amazing if they can cram that into a < 5" screen.

Thats the same resolution as a 10" netbook.

Going back to OMAP3, is this thing going to be powerful enough to run something like KDE 4? I am assuming that the next IT is going to have at least 512mb ram, if not 1gb or even 2, so it seems like it will come down to the CPU. With such a high res LCD, using a full DE actually becomes practical, although the panel will need to be on autohide due to the wide aspect ratio.

Good, good.

Much depends on Qt. I run KDE4.2 with Qt4.5rc1 for few days and it was amazing fast *and* low on memory resources - with 3D effects turned off. With further tuning of Qt and KDE I think it is possible to run normal operations on "N900".

speculation based on the SDK resolution.

Quim Gil says WVGA resolution. That's pretty much what we've got with the current tablets.

I've all the time one sentence in my head, that Quim said at Linuxtag '08 here in Berlin: "If you like Diablo, you will love Fremantle."

Oops. So much for that...

HP refers to 1024x576 as "SD", whatever that means.

So with just 800px, are we going to keep the same browsing style or is there going to be an iphonesque zooming functionality?
