I need those things. That's why I have OS X. And Windows. And Linux - N900 can admin the ever-living hell out of my Linux servers. But content from the other two? Not so well.

Linux doesn't do everything. Not yet. But that's because my needs are way different than just an average Linux server admin. I develop content too. And websites. And games.
i'll pick up on Mikecomputing's about 20'000 apps;
or 100'000 iApps?
i'm happy w/ Skype, MSN, Yahoo! Msg.er & gchat and getting notified when i get an e-mail (@hotmail.com, @yahoo.com or @gmail.com)
when travelling, i like to be able to keep up to date with the public transport trip planning site which, thankfully, is very basic HTML and allows me to check for connections on the fly or simply keep track of arrival & departure times & tracks or line nbr.s
but watching Flash... why would you wanna do that "on the move"?

o, right... a lot of sites have flash nowadays, right?
there is an AdBlock Plus version available for mobile FF, right >?-)

yes, i guess if you have subscribed to the mercantilization of the WWW,, flash is required, indeed.
does it add useful information? anything plain dumb HTML can't provide? leave alone on the 800x480 pixel display...

just ranting, i guess :|

last time i synchronized the two N900s, i had 107 apps installed.
a couple more, now, i guess
been tweaking some, lately
who has time for 20'000, leave along 100'000 apps?
