Name me one of these powerful desktop applications running on a mobile device that there isn't a mobile application out there for.

Blender.


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.

Gimp, yeah screen size is limiting but is doable if you organise your toolbox. The lack of ram can be a bit of a git when you want to render some heavy lighting and shading effects but then for any serious work who in their right mind would be pulling out mobile app?


As an anecdote to this, I was excited to hear that Adobe were to make a Photoshop app for iOS, being the bit of a wiz in both shoop & gimp that I am. And my word I could not have been anymore disappointed, they had made an app the was nothing more than a jumped up version of the Kodak Easyshare photo suite with less than half of the functionality of the PS essentials desktop variant.

Personally I think you have the best of both worlds xxxxts, you have a decent mobile device for your apps and the n900 for whatever else you choose to use It for. I bought the iPod touch 4g for my ios kicks too and it rocks!
