Maemo 6

Maemo 6. Look for both portrait and landscape support, multitouch, capacitive touchscreens, an “iconic user experience and integrated internet services in one aesthetic package” (as opposed to a user experience that lacks icons, integrated internet services, or aesthetics, we suppose), and a desktop significantly larger than the display, which can be navigated either vertically or horizontally: Nokia is calling this “the canvas principle,” although we’d call it “possibly quite confusing” unless the design is particularly well implemented. But the designers have plenty of time for that: Maemo 6 probably won’t see the light of day until late 2010. Hit the read link for plenty more mind-blowing slides.
