If your personally insulted because someone is being critical of the mobile device you are using then you have issues.

As I stated prior, OpenArena is a "desktop application" it was ported to the N900. It works. You are able to use the application. However the frame rate sucks, it kills the battery, it often crashes, it is near impossible to control due to form factor, etc.

So yes, OpenArena/Quake III in theory is a more entertaining/fun game than most "mobile games" - however it just doesn't work, not on the N900, not on an Android, not on a iPhone.

You're desperately trying to fit "full desktop applications" into a device with a 3.5" touch screen, a small keyboard, 1.15GHz (max) single core processor. Your "desktop application" that was so functional on a desktop just got a whole lot less functional.

Now you want to talk to me about "power" of these desktop applications, name something that a desktop application that is ported to Maemo/MeeGo that can't be done using a mobile application. Someone brought up Gnumetric and there's iWork's Numbers that is just as good, if not better. There's OpenOffice vs iWorks. They both do the same thing, iWorks has the edge because it was BUILT around a certain platform.

No one buys Angry Birds for PC, the reason why it sells so well on mobile applications is because it was built around a mobile platform.

And you guys want to go with CSSU is "improving" Maemo 5 - I've been there, I've seen it, It's not improving it - it's fixing the bugs and the features that the developers left out. You're sill miles behind the industry standard - no auto complete or spell check, voice commands, voice navigation, any navigation at all.

It seems you all keep on forgetting; I have my N900 sitting right here next to me, it's on. I have almost every worth while application loaded on here, you want to talk about OpenOffice? I have OpenOffice 3.2 booted up now, it even shows a cursor on the screen (because it was built to be used with a mouse). GIMP? Come on, that one is pretty useless (I don't think anyone is going to object to that), I gave it to a friend who only used GIMP and he couldn't use it for the life of him.

Name me one of these powerful desktop applications running on a mobile device that there isn't a mobile application out there for. That mobile application will not only be just as powerful, but it will be much faster, much more efficient, much more user friendly, and have a far superior interface. So my challenge stands: name me a desktop application ported to a mobile device that there isn't a mobile application equivalent of that doesn't have "power"
