The N8 is destined to be another great handset. Everyone feels the N8 is "the" phone their are waiting on but once the new meego phone gets announced ahh... then what?

Although HTML rendering won't be done by the GPU, screen rendering is. Unlike other devices where both tasks are done by the CPU. I’m referring to the way the OS writes data to the screen.

Seems a little late, early rev of OS? Maybe depends on when he removed finger from screen? Just seemed a little off. Also, I would miss the "anywhere" widgets that I am use to on the N900, I really like that freedom, being able to layer them, etc. This seems more standardized, which of course will have its own positives, but if a dev doesn't take advantage of this huge spot and just makes a big button that "goes" - I could see me getting a little annoyed. ;) I like how the FB client, when it rotates, the icons stay on accessible. Now if only that was an option for say, left or right hand users and we could choose it. THAT would be impressive. (I have a HUGE thing for deep user configurable options) Is everyone OK with the speed with which the home screen changes when he flicks? Seems a little late, early rev of OS?

Guess the graphics acceleration is really helping with screen rendering stuff. Freeing up the CPU to do all the fun stuff unlike certain OS's *cough* Android *cough* The browser looks significantly fast.
