This is invisible, or there was no camera on the front?

I don't really like the keyboard, but I think it's out of habit.

I don't see it but it could easily be hidden beneath the glass. Shouldn't the Maemo5 API be pretty definitive (there will be one camera or two)? I wouldn't use the front facing camera anyway, but it would be nice to have.

Edit: wow, I was an hour and half late with that one.

Yes, I think too the front-cam is behind the glass.

And for Home and Return button, it's possible that the screen does not take the entire front, but the front is entire touch and the Home and Return button appear at power On.

Wouldn't they most likely need special pointed prosthetic\pen holder as well to deal with resistive screens?
I don't know how advanced synthetic materials used on the prosthetics nowadays, but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to ask for the proper material to be used on the finger tips\chosen area.

Now, multi touch gestures, that'd be harder.

128mb is unfortunate, but I think it should be enough. If the internal 32GB storage is fast then it can just use a few hundred mb of swap space.

i thought it was fairly clear that the Omap 3 from TI came with 256MB and that this was confirmed by the freemantle sdk?

Not enough. Don't forget, this device is supposed to have both GTK and Qt libs in memory almost all the time, so even if you forego the memory load of the extra eyecandy, you will need more memory to keep things snappy. Swapping is an idiotic solution to this. Why bother putting in a 2x stronger CPU when half of the time it's going to wait for swap pages to come back into memory ? 256 is a must.
