The n900 is coming close to 3 years old now. When it fist came out it almost did replace netbooks, tablets and phone, packaging it all into one. Today it's hardware might be getting on the slow side, the flash support went a longtime ago and web pages have been packed with so much more data than ever before, it's no surprise that older computers even struggle to keep up.But you can overclock to speed up a bit, you can trick websites' flash detector into playing flash so it works almost like normal, you that can still watch bbciplayer and other video streaming, and flash sites. And I'm not talking about mobile sites, these are the same sites your desktop will load. What other 'phones' are still being put to such great use after 3 years. Plenty of up to date android phones find it hard to get the 'full web' version of sites. Even when on a web site, I find it supfremely frustrating trying to copy and paste something in android too. A 1 second job on an n900.
If some manufacturer would just update the hardware specs the whole maemo, or whatever it's calling itself today, OS would be totally on top of any other mobile OS. Especially if that alien dalvic thing gets finished, no one would have to miss out on apps if they wanted them.
