I found a article about a not to shabby Umpc named the H9 and what caught my iey was that the user interface looked allmost exactly the same as maemo!

let me know what you think!

Cool! And it is running Maemo, but with a 20GB hard drive, 520MHz Intel PXA270 processor, an Office Suite ...

Holy crap, the fonts look horrible, and I suspect that the built-in office suites are really abiword and gnumeric. I find it hard to imagine that anyone could improve on the tablet any more than what the developer community at maemo and iTT have done thus far.

The fonts may look horrible, but at least their RSS reader applet shows twice more entries than the one from Nokia...

There were some videos floating around about this device about a year ago. The device runs Linux but it's not Maemo IIRC. They just copied parts of the look'n feel. The font is a typical non-proportional CJK font with Asian characters where Roman characters look ugly like this.

But does it play Crysis in full graphics? xD
Seriously - nothing special and interesting. Nokia still rulles the garden

i agree, NOKIA INTERNET TABLETS RULL!!!!!!!

Doesnt look very good GUI-wise...im still sticking with Nokia ...for now

there is actually one thing that the H9 has that Maemo does not, an expanded X-window system
wich actually allows you to drag, ex-out, expand and, minimise on-screen machbox windows.
But i'm shure that Nokia may some day come out with a ITOS that allows you to do this kind of stuff.
Untill then, i sopose you could always install Debain or KDE!

I sure hope we get a proper window manager eventually.. my biggest annoyance is losing non-gtk windows, it bugs the crap out of me having to use something like wmctrl to bring back a window lost by the crippled window manager
