Sounds good. Don't worry about waking me though, I have a 7 mo. old who is both teething and coughing due to a cold so I only vaguely remember that "sleeping" thing you are referring to anyway.

I'm all for kinetic scrolling if it helps bring some UI consistency to Maemo, woohoo :-)
For those who don't think it'll be useful, let's all hold out judgement until we use it? The quality of experience varies greatly in the implementation: it could be a rubbish implementation, or an excellent one (I put MediaBox's clever switch of the active area to a smaller portion of the item in the latter camp).

And I've no great objection to kinetic scrolling per se, either. But in the browser, some level of motion is required to initiate a drag right now, because the whole page is a click-interaction area, and it has to be quick, to avoid a long-tap. This seems to make a good inertial-scroll hard; it'll be easy to send a page flying, but to give it a little half-page nudge may be hard... guess we'll see what they've got implemented when it gets here. (Or when someone gets excited enough to build from CVS and post it where I can get it...)
