Photo from Karoliina Salminen’s blog of the Hildon UI running on a laptop computer at way beyond 800×480. This is just a teaser of what is coming from Lucas Rocha, she notes.

Hm-m. This means future generations of internet tablets can be freed from the hardware specifics of the Nokia 770. (I changed “internet tablets” to lower-case, because I got to thinking how a UMPC might be dual-bootable, plus there’s that H9 UMPC we heard about earlier in the week.) Nokia could release a next-gen tablet with such a different spec sheet that the 770’s end-of-life could be extended as as the low-end, lowest-cost (and more restricted) model.

I wonder too if this doesn’t lead to overlapping and smaller-than-full-size windows in Hildon too, an in-no-way-beloved limitation of the current UI.

OK, Lucas — let’s see more!
