having a stylus enabled multitouchscreen sounds useful... any time

I think using Stantum makes since if you consider maemo 6 has multitouch support. If the N900 is a pre general consumer device for Nokia (4 of 5), then it follows that you would try some technologies out on it prior to the general consumer release device using maemo 6.

I don't think you guys understand how development works. This close to release is way way to late to change hardware in a device.

I'm sorry, but where have you heard that the n900 would have a stantum touch panel? although I would appreciate that very much, i really doubt it and iirc there are no devices with such a screen yet. well, this could of course change when the n900 gets one, but for now, I'd like to know where you got that information. As far as I know, the n900 doesn't have such a panel. However, I could be wrong there too and I sure hope it

If you read the first post again you will notice that it was a question. not a statment. And no we are not saying that they've changed the hardware, in that case just not impelmented the software for multi touch.

I don't think anyone thinks the delay is caused by a late hardware change because that just doesn't happen.
