Has anyone noticed the pre-alpha MeeGo UI for tablets?

After looking at this video (for tablet UI), some of the details mentioned in the handset UI guidelines like taskbar, grid menu etc. can be visualized.

Looks cool, but for sure more resources consuming stuff. I don't think N900 will handle as smooth as maemo. Or they have something different for mobiles...

I just saw that, came here to post about it and you beat me to it !! looks sweet and pretty much what I was expecting from a tablet !!

Widescreen, Multitouch, HD video playback, dynamic UI with widgets, Multitasking ! and most of all OPEN SOURCE !! just epic, can't wait for it, looking forward for the mobile UI to release soon !!

Cheers
Jackie

I can almost feel the pure link to the N900 in this paragraph

Applications can overwrite default changes. However, it is highly recommended that all Application provide both portrait and landscape mode. The main reason is the form factor of some available MeeGo devices. In a devices with a slide hardware Qwerty, the landscape experience becomes key, and somehow extended. Therefore, the user shouldn’t be forced to change orientation to complete a task. Playing a game is one of the few exceptions to this rules, as its experience flow does not require (in most cases) the use of any other application.

At 1:07 into the video, I see Google Maps.

Please tell me Google (or someone) has been working on porting Google Maps to Qt/Meego.

Because on landscape mode short toolbars are fitted into the title bar's empty space, while on portrait mode they appear under the window contents like in Fremantle.

As I was saying you can see quite a lot of this stuff in the MeeGoTouch demos...

That's Google Earth, not Maps, and it has allways been Qt based.
