Nokia has come up with some new User interface , according to a documentation so far almost hidden , shows traces of WebOS and Android like influences into the Handset UI , including Portrait and landscape keyboards . As you can see by going to the official documentation page since when it was published ( http://wiki.meego.com/BananasandPears ) the page has been deleted . But Google Cache provides a better insight into it .

The Documentation tell us more about the UI ” The MeeGo interface is scalable for different screen sizes, resolutions, and aspect ratios and it supports both portrait and landscape orientations” .  More into it :

“Responsive Direct UI must give immediate feedback to the user’s actions. When scrolling or panning, the moved objects need to follow user’s finger without a noticeable lag. Visual, audio, and haptic feedback must feel that they are in perfect synch. The multimedia playback has high resolution and frame rate that gives a feeling of performance.

Simply beautiful The UI must please all senses. Visual, aural, and haptic feedback must be beautiful, yet simple. Visual and aural (and haptic) metaphors and effects must be consistent. Decoration should have meaning, for example show what can be touched. The UI is alive, for example showing subtle animations. ”

There is also a Task manager similar to the WebOS card system and a notification area along with a taskbar which is similar in Android .

Application to be placed in Grids of 4×4 :

Applications are presented in a 4 x 4 grid. In the case where there are more than 16 applications, more pages of the same grid are added to the right. Paging through the different grids is done by swiping the current grid off screen, hence bringing the new one into view. When the user installs a new application, it goes to the end of the application grid.

The user opens the launcher by selecting an icon at the bottom of the Homescreen (placed together with Favorite Application links). To close, the same icon is used.
All applications require a name and icon for the launcher.

Meego has said that the support for Handset UI will be available by October .
