more than half the **** was rubbish to me etc. games and useless apps. i mean currently at #9 its $3.69AU for "Root Explorer", dl Filebox (for free btw) or ctrl+shift+x on the n900 and voila, thanks to some very talented people.
the free makret is worse, infested with games and thier lite versions and ****, even more useless apps.

im not trying to bash android's market. this is just what i experienced.
im sure the majority of the people appreciate the vast number of apps, but i have gone back to my n900 and wont be looking at android anytime soon.
Sharing my experience, I feel the same way. I haven't tried Android as in the real Android (just tried NITDroid)...lots of apps indeed, but I find that there are simply a lot of apps that do the same thing. Pretty much the same case for Maemo but not as redundant as Android. But I guess it all boils down to matter of preference...there are just some consumers who like tinkering around, while some go for what's hot, and some others go for the number of apps.

As mentioned a lot of times in the forum, I would like to imagine how Maemo would perform in a device with much "stronger" hardware specs. That would be awesome, I guess.
