Not really NIT related, but definately open source and Linux related, and potentially opens up all kind of possibilities for Maemo as well so I thought it'd be worth sharing here.
Usability is -IMO- one of the important things missing in Maemo.

From a usability point of view, Maemo is great. Yes, it lacks the animated 3D Wow!-stuff to attract the kids, but that has nothing to do with usability. Usability is how you achieve something, how you are guided through the process, how easily it can be done - and how quickly. And Maemo does a fantastic job in this particular area.

Just my 2 cents (from someone who would primarily like to use it as a finger device):
For touch screens, it seems like lists should be scrollable in the iPhone-ish way. Click anywhere and drag to get it scrolling. I'm sure this would cause problems based on how the app wants to interpret events.
If I weren't a lazy developer, the first thing I'd do to make the n810 more usable for myself would be to modify whatever GTK source package that handles lists and try to implement flick-scrolling or whatever it's called
