Oh, and it looks like it's now official: no Maemo 5 for the current tablets.
Maemo 5 comes today as an SDK only since it targets the OMAP3 architecture and no OMAP2 compatibility will be officially provided. The revamped UI relying on graphics acceleration and the new functionality built around the new supported hardware made it too complex to keep the compatibility between both architectures.

Some interesting screenshots (nothing really important yet as explained in the announcement for the UI part).
Just say that it's possible move around the desktop the boxes to set the bg and add applets.

Another hints: the dialogs are movable, and have a small close button in the window manager (no cancel buttons in them).
Also the package gstreamer-plugins-camera has some possibles features for the HD camera. And it's opensource. I could list them, but if I am wrong...

Say whatever you will about there not being official support for current tablets with Fremantle (I'd, personally, prefer it if you took your complaints to customer care where it's more likely to get to the ears of the people who make these decisions), but Fremantle is more more open than previous releases, which means the community is significantly more enabled (and encouraged) to see to providing their own support this time around.
This early release comes with an invitation to build variants based on Maemo 5 compatible with existing hardware like the N800 and N810. Maemo SW can't promise commercial quality for such configurations but through maemo.org we are able to collaborate at a community level with technical support, license changes and code.

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.
