How can you get rid of the title bar? It is ugly as hell (makes UI look clumsy with that hump). It is downright useless anyway, isn't it?

You can full-screen most apps to get rid of it; but its basically a main part of the UI. (I think) there's a post about it on the Tablet UI Blog blog and some possible solutions. But really, what you see is what is. Those rules haven't changed yet, but most likely will for the next version of Maemo (Maemo 5)
Oh, and in the current UI, the title bar is the touchscreen menu-dropdown area. So unless there's a better solution for accessing menu components, its pretty much going to stick around.
The left side bar is uselful and there is the "home" button in the bottom of the of the side bar, When having the apps full screen they cover the side bar. Even the native apps do it like the browser.. The title bar can have menu dropdown as long as the menu isn't visible all the time.

Full-screen hinders touch navigation. You have to use the hardware buttons instead. Thanks for the link. I will study it later.

FullScreen hinders nav how? You get all the same items, unless the app is not well designed for full-screen view
