I think I agree with Karel for once

But Maemo Mapper and Canola are very nice examples of decent free software, some of the game ports are nice as well. That said, MaemoMapper could definitely use a facelift or three.

Everything else is rather painful to use, free or not its just like stabbing yourself in the face with a spoon.

Two things happen: its the programmers preference of how the application should be rather than thinking like a normal user... or its just a plain mess of a port. I'm not faulting the community, there is no reason to have it any other way.

I hope with every new release of IT OS that Nokia will provide some solid apps but they fail to deliver. Maybe in a few more years if the platform is not dead we'll have 4 or 5 commercial quality applications!

P.S. Edit: I'm sick of talking about Apple vs. Nokia (Whoa!) I'd just like to stick to the merits of each platform! Even if they are few and far between
