the reason it is sluggish is because the ui is not as good as maemo. thats the exact reason that intel approached nokia in the meego platform merger. meego will be based on the moblin core and will use the qt UI that nokia has developed. its going to be ten time better than the n900 UI. nokia has never let us down on hardware design.

in the end maemo is the parent OS. its been around longer and has more support than moblin. also nokia is the sole developer of the UI. the main reason they nerged was to give developer a developement platform that a dev can right a application once and that app will run on any meego device. its basically the exact oppisite of android. all maemo moblin and meego applications will run across the entire line of products. this is major.!!!!!!!!]]>Feb 16th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/
also worth mentioning is the fact that i have seen and used they current QT Ui on my N900. and any one can. i can assure you that it runs smooth as butter even on my N900.

downlaod it in the application manager its called widgets gallery(maemo 6 demo app)]]>Feb 16th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/These are just preview and proofs of concept elements of the UI framework running on a two week old one off prototype and unfinished software. The real thing should be amazing. WP7 is just a smartphone OS. Maemo/Moblin/MeeGo is much more poweful PC grade stuff. Far better app toolkit support, and fully open.]]>Feb 16th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/

Not bad for a two week old firmware. And if its the mobile UI framework he was using, its actually an early Maemo6 UI setup, which will be the foundation of Meego's mobile UI, which we'll see later this year. ]]>Feb 16th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/those UI skins made WinMo designers complacent. It'll happen to Android, too. Look at Sense, Blur, TouchWiz, and whoever else. If Android is open, and these UI elements improve thing, why not contribute them? Because they're greedy.

In the end, just make a standard UI that works fast and is common to all devices, or risk fragmentation and less emphasis on the real OS. My female friend used a TouchWiz Android phone she liked, but bought a TouchWiz featurephone by mistake thinking it was the same OS. Which is messed up for consumers and Android if it can't be differentiated from a cheap dumbphone.]]>Feb 16th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Slow animations, cheap looking OS overall.]]>Feb 16th 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/"this is a very early prototype" says the demonstrator.
2 weeks of work on a UI !

Btw it's all about the hardware platform here (more details please ! ^^)]]>Feb 16th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/Feb 16th 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/aava-mobiles-intel-moorestown-prototype-hands-on/
