I also thought resistive touch screens were capable of a higher resolution and pixel density. Doesn't the n800 have a better resolution and pixel density then the iPhone 3GS? o.O

Anyway, I really dislike their bashing of resistive touch screens. Especially from watching the video, he said it wasn't working well and you could see the desktops start to slide (haha). Perhaps they just don't understand resistive touch screens and how they work (with force) rather than capactative (with electricity). Them bashing resistive is like me bashing my cousin's iPhone 3G because when I tried to use it I couldn't get it to work (I'm guessing when your use to one way, fingernail or finger your use to it). But finger scrolling is possible on the n800 with certain software like Mauku and now based on anedoctal evidence from users here the resistive touch screen in the n900 is even better so it should allow moderate finger usage (though not as easy as the iPhone where you don't even have to exert any force).

Well, in the positive side, the open nature of Maemo makes possible to add a touchscreen keyboard.

Can you add a physical keyboard to an iPhone?

Actually you can. But it's a hardware modification/addition. So it's even more unfriendly to most users. =P (it works the same way as those developing game pads for the iPhone. I believe it connects through the dock)

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
