Hi,

What will be your next Maemo device? I do not know, really.

My major concern is, will Maemo be ready for it?

Bigger screen? Smaller like S60 phones? Two screens like Communicators?
Landscape? Portrait? What's about input methods? A full keyboard? A
reduced keyboard like standard phones? Or an improved virtual keyboard?
What's about dedicated hardware buttons? And Softkeys? 2 like phones? 4
like Communicators? More? Oh! Shall we play more with available
technology? Rotate and resize on the fly? Display migration?
Applications should reorganize their layout depending of the screen(s)
configuration. Can we reasonably use SVG icons?

OK, I stop here. You got my point. Whatever is the device of your
dreams, we want to be ready to support it by making Maemo as scalable as
possible.

Let's stretch, shrink, whirl, squeeze Maemo UI!

Here is a raw list of technical items related to scalability.
Feel free to experiment, comment and extend!
