well iphone and android both have A LOT more devs and support than the n900 will ever have, so obviously they will have more apps.
but we have mostly only useful apps because actual reguar people make them and they dont want to waste their time on farting apps and stupid stuff like that.
but think, when the n900 came out there were only 10 or so apps, but now theres more than a thousand!!! and there are many more to come :)
also you can use nitdroid if all the maemo apps just arent enough for you :)

It is true that there 're more apps for N900 today. But it seems that only few really enhance the device.

You are also %100 correct about iphone & Droid both have a lot more apps. iphone particularly is %100 useless device without app. The question is, Would there have been the same amount of apps if they had only sold %10 of the numbers they ve sold to date? and they showing some 72 million iphones sold in the past 3 years. In the same 3 years, Nokia sold over 1.3 Billion units. Yes folks that is "B"illions.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

P.S.: I have a script in my signature, too. I hope it is considered as an App, too. It makes your smartphone faster and your internet safer and faster! Go get it! It is better then swapoluble.

Are you serious? I find that extremely insulting that you don't think there are any decent apps for Maemo, a lot of us work extremely hard on making our applications as good as any commercial alternative. Spending often a lot more time and at least a lot more understanding when it comes to listening to users of our apps.

And no, a script isn't usually considered an app, I expect "apps" in this sense to have a decent user interface...
