    yes it will be in 2010. Not at the moment, I think will be atleast Q3 2010 or something when the N920 is announced then Maemo 6 will be also. Damn multitouch N920

    Ok. Just one stupid question, what is "multitouch"? What is the difference to a standard touch screen?

    you know how some girls slap you when you touch them once?

    The N900 doesn't.

    "multitouch" refers to the ability of a touchscreen to track more than one finger at a time. Basically this lets you do things like two, three or four fingered gestures. "lbt" is a term that refers to someone who is being a dork.

    Just to avoid misunderstandings and spreading false rumours. No-one has ever promised N900 would get an official update to Maemo 6. Also no-one has ever said the next Maemo device would have multitouch. These may happen or may not happen but stating rumours as facts is not the way to go.

    I believe multi-touch is not confirmed in the next Maemo device. But having a capacitative screen is.

    Don't all capacitive screens feature multitouch?

    The hardware probably does. But even then also the drivers have to support it. And even if both the hardware and the drivers support multitouch, the software has to support it too.

    You can try running for example WinXP on a capacitive screen and you'll notice that no matter how hard you pinch or pan or rotate nothing happens.

    It will be implemented in Maemo 6, but not necessarily before.
