No.

Sure. There are some basic ones built into the keyboard, and additional gesture support could be added.

Why?

Marmosets.

Yes, via a Wii Remote.

Work has already been done on this.

Yes, via a Wii Remote.

There is also Harbaum's Tiltstick.

Well, I love Maemo, Nokia n810 and all the softwares for OS 2008, but, yesterday I saw the Keynote of the Iphone 3g, and I think it is going to have better softwares than the Maemo softwares.... I really enjoy all the work you are doing! You're excellent! I only want to suggest something new for Maemo........only this....
for example:
someone know When will Nokia release a software update (of Maemo os 2008)?
Just two informations:
-something like multi touch or gestures on Maemo platform...
-something like accelerometer in Nokia n810 (I know that in Nokia n810 there isn't a accelerometer, but I read an interesting article about a new technology that use only the device's camera. (read this: http://www.windowsfordevices.com/new...0800893.html)?
Thanks for the attention and sorry for my bad English...
Bye

Oh, I'm sure someone knows the scheduled date. qgil, for instance, but he's unlikely to talk. There's been speculation though, that the next update will be released near the end of this month.

Yes, I bet someone knows; they work at Nokia, and would put their job at risk by telling us an exact date. Plus, plans do change due to exigencies, so they might be wrong anyhow. They'd be complete idiots to tell you the date.

Community consensus is pretty strong that Diablo will be released in a month, or perhaps a little more if things slip; but I have to wonder why and how much you care, if you can't be bothered to do any research or thought of your own?

You might re-read sjgadsby's reply above, WRT the other queries.

Gestures for "scrolling" photos or like this, not for the recognition...
Thanks

Right. As I wrote:

Someone just needs to write software to use gestures for that sort of thing. There's nothing in the tablet software or hardware to prevent it.

oh, ok....I've understood all. Thank very much...
