Not sure which one is better. I don't think such pissing contests are useful; I think its good to observe the good aspects of each other and learn from each other. IMO there are some nice applications in both. And quite some crap in both as well. Point is that finding software in the App Store is difficult. As a non-gamer I don't want to see games. But I cannot do this on either platform. There is also the jailbreak issue. Localisation is an issue too. Developers assume an applications is only meant for iPhone 3G. Or that all users are from USA. I'm quite unimpressed with the number of applications specially designed for my country whereas if I need to find software for Nokia N810 I visit this forum, use APT, or Gronmayer. Or Google. Either way, updating software on either platform is much more easier than on S60. Or MacOSX (except official Apple updates). I don't like that I cannot evaluate software from App Store. I do like that the App Store is finger-friendly. I like about Application Manager than I can control my APT repositories. On iPhone/iPod touch I must jailbreak and install Cydia to use APT. But, Cydia is finger-friendly. As you can read I see a lot of + and - on both sides.

Regarding commercial software. Commercial software is NOT the same as commercial/proprietary software. I, for one, very much welcome commercial open source software development. And proprietary software development for Maemo. But preferably either free/commercial open source software.

BTW, it is very childish to call names on a product. The product is called iPhone. Its confusing too. jPhone is Java phone is Android??
