For what it's worth, the N900 can "recognize" when a swipe comes from the outside of the bezel inwards. There's no reason that we can't have bezel-gestures like the PlayBook or webOS do - it just needs to be written properly.
Example -
Enter "edit mode" on the desktop and slide your finger from off the display onto it in left or right and the workspace will change while staying in edit mode. PR1.2's hildon-home allowed swiping down to bring up hildon-status-area, it's since been modified and lost.

Random fact: Anyone that knows the norwegian company Trolltech is the inventor of Qt?

So how,is this better than the N900 multitasking view? Whats the practical benefit of this. If,this was in any way gesture controlled than that would be good.

Qt also used in many commercial apps like Matlab/Mathematica etc...
Personally I think its the best crossplatform toolkit.

WebOS? So how is WebOS compared to Maemo 5? How are the PIM apps. I thought PIM is better on webOS ( never used it though, just from reviews) ecause of the Palm heritage. I always wanted a webOS phone but since I am now used to a superphone I would prefer to upgrade, not downgrade. The camera on webOS are all fixed focus.
Yes, the camera is a downgrade. I love to do macro shots with the N900. Not possible with a webOS device up to date.
There are some similarities regarding the UI comparing webOS and Harmattan. No wonder as the webOS UI designer works on Harmattan now.

But I am sure the area Nokia will fail will be in having tie-ins with other companies for good content - like Apple / Google / Samsung try to put in place.
