The N900 will do that today on Maemo 5, so it's probably an artifact of the resistive screen and nothing specifically with MeeGo.

I have never ever used OS that behaves fluently under pressure and still multi-tasks properly. Although we are starting to see HW that is capable of doing some heavy duty (4 gigabytes of ram and SSDs in raid and 64-bit OS with core 2 or more processors).Yes when CPU maxes UI becomes unresponsive. Not good thing and one of things that should be avoided of course but to me itīs have been like that for last 18 years what I have used different computers and OSes. Some linux distributions are quite good but still they normally need pretty good processor, much ram and probably some tweaking (Brainfck kernel etc.) when we are speaking about UI responsiveness.

Which is pointless, really, since even if it was a bug it'd just be marked as WONTFIX and likely won't be seen at all on the next hardware revision with a capacitive screen.
btw. if you use stylus you have to be very careful when clicking stuff because you have to exactly point point you are clicking. When using your finger you can just click on bigger area. I find finger clicking much faster when clicking links while zoomed out..

What is getting released in end of October is a platform. This platform has reference applications and such and fairly good N900 support, but it's probably not enough for most end-users.
Android and Apple are kicking their butts and Symbian is DEAD. Nobody wants it anymore . (Save the speech for the Symbian crowd, OK)
re: video: Its nice to see something working. What I see there looks pretty nice.

No, MeeGo is a platform. Nokia will use it directly once it's ready to be fully adapted to hardware. You won't see any of that. What you see here is the open source project that owes you nothing.

Btw, why does everyone talk as if the mobile world is going to end any soon. Mobile devices are not going anywhere and they are here to stay. It's better an organisation plan their strategy that is for long-term and not short-term. I clearly see Nokia adapting to this long-term strategy model and which is actually good.
What if they are delayed by an year or so? Lesser than expected profits? But this is the cost anyone has to pay for a long-term strategy. Thats normal.
So, move on. All will be good at the end.
Btw, if you think Android and Apple are kicking others butts now. The time is not far when they would be kicking their own butts!

Think that may be it.
I have the problem on MeeGo but don't have it on my Axim X50V or 02 XDA IIS.
In my experience, it's only an issue with MeeGo.
