Ok, I'll make one more comment:

I do take those arguments seriously. The N900 plays all the media I want -- every bit of music, every podcast, every video. (If you must complain that it doesn't run HD video, let me ask why would you want to force the poor thing to run video at resolutions beyond what it can display? I personally re-encode videos to the native size of the devices I use to display them. I did that for my 1st gen iPhone, and I still do for my N900...) And yes, there are endless endless apps of every stripe and color for the iPhone; but can I ask, can you do your social networking or banking tasks from a regular desktop browser? Because the N900 can handle regular desktop webpages.

But in any case, yeah, I guess I don't do much appy stuff on my N900. I like to place phone calls, listen to podcasts, and edit files. These tasks don't require the latest hardware. And so, for someone like me, the N900 still beats the iPhone.

EDIT: BTW, the Google TV remote control is RF-based, but some of the devices can also accept IR input. In particular, many of the Google TVs manufactured by Sony will also support the use of a Sony remote control. For these, the "Sony TV Keyset 1" setting in Pierogi should work for you.
