Yes, Objective-C is OpenStep C and is different than C/C++. It has pools of objects and does auto release of objects and the syntax is dofferent than C/C++. That's why on Maemo having C++, Java, Flash ActiveScript, Python, etc , programmers have more choices and can create easier applications.
Why the iPhone is more popular than other smartphones in USA is because CNN doesn't write about Nokia products, and others USA papers do the same. They created a myth around iPhone mainly because is an american product and they buy american.

To me, that's like asking "do you prefer a monitor that can display text, or one that can display graphics?" Because the writing doesn't have to be small, it gives you an additional option of having smaller readable text.

Yeah, I saw a demo of Java SE Embedded in the Pavilion at JavaOne on one of the recently announced touchscreen swivel-tablet/netbook form factor devices (running a SnapDragon IIRC).

Unfortunately, Java SE Embedded is primarily aimed at OEMs, it'd be interesting to see if we can repackage it for Extras ;-)

This headless one works like a charm on my N800, of course takes 100% CPU most of the time, but works nevertheless and is full :) Probably JavaFX doesn't work but runs web start apps.
100% CPU doesn't count as "tier-1", purely for what it'll do to your battery life :-(. However, it'd be interesting to take their VM & class library and run it with Jalimo's auto-Hildonising SWT library.

I refuse to pay money to a company only to have them restrict what I do with a device, so the N900 is the only choice for me.

Me too. The unlocked price for a smartphone is > 400$ so it is more expensive than a netbook (the small laptops, with either Linux or WinXP). Having said that, I don't see any reason to pay money for an unlocked device and to be locked by the OS / DRM etc. And don't want iTunes to convert my MP3 collection to a encrypted and locked music file that I cannot play on another device.
N900 is a device with alternatives, even at the OS level with easy Mer, Ubuntu, easy Debian and lots of open source applications. It gives more power to a user (to a power user) and it is also very user friendly for any user.

Good thing iTunes hasn't even an option to do such a thing then, eh? I mean, I greatly dislike iTunes, but wow.

Apple releases iPhone 3GS, a faster iPhone

NYTimes. Quite impressive, even if Steve wasn't presenting.

Very. I liked the find phone feature with the way to play a sound even on silent. And remote wipes (though dangerous if your account is compromised)

Interesting why Apple are releasing it so soon after the announcement...
