The tablet-UX probably makes good sense on a compatible tablet, with
larger surface, better edge-of-screen & button ergonomics, more
memory, higher resolution, faster processors, etc. e.g., something
like http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HKIIFI/ (ASUS EEE Slate 12.1" tablet
PC). A platform like that would be good incentive to use the tablet
UX. (Now accepting all donations :-) ).

A better reason is the latest 1.2 Netbook UX worksforme, whereas the
Tablet-UX still has some issues that need to be worked out, e.g.,

You are correct, the problem is once you boot to the MeeGo Tablet UX
image you lose touch clicks, I believe that the touch driver has been
tuned for the ExoPC only which probably has a different touch

works very well. [...]

My goal with the camera app is a codebase with portability to all
MeeGo platforms (doesn't IVI need a touch-based QML camera app too?).
Given the reprioritization of the handset, I still hope to work on
some variant of
http://code.google.com/p/ytd-meego/wiki/CitizenJournalismWithYoutubeDirectForMeego
but want it to run on all platforms that its Qt-based infrastructure
would target, not just the handset.

Plus, it's a lot easier to develop on the netbook, snarfling up
whatever tools and devel libs using
http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo-Lem ,
with the promise that eventually I'll be able to run the same code on
multiple MeeGo targets. and more than just ia32 processors.

I'm seeking to evaluate meego-app-camera versus
http://code.google.com/p/ytd-meego/wiki/CitizenJournalismWithYoutubeDirectForMeego#Reusing_QtMobility_1.2%27s_%22declarative_camera%22_Exa
... the first step of which is getting meego-app-camera running on a
generic MeeGo platform such as the Lenovo s10-3t. The second would be
getting it running on the n900 when all the codecs and camera
functionality support video recording.

If that includes taking all the pieces apart and putting them back
together again to understand the dependencies, then so be it...
