Maemo 6 UI concept revealed to include portrait mode, capacitive multitouch
Today at the Maemo Summit — which we like to imagine happens in a lavish, remote mountain fortress somewhere in Finland — Nokia dropped some interesting hints about what we can expect from Maemo 6. Look for both portrait and landscape support, multitouch, capacitive touchscreens, an “iconic user experience and integrated internet services in one aesthetic package” (as opposed to a user experience that lacks icons, integrated internet services, or aesthetics, we suppose), and a desktop significantly larger than the display, which can be navigated either vertically or horizontally: Nokia is calling this “the canvas principle,” although we’d call it “possibly quite confusing” unless the design is particularly well implemented. But the designers have plenty of time for that: Maemo 6 probably won’t see the light of day until late 2010. Hit the read link for plenty more mind-blowing slides.
