I'll have to disagree with you. Compared to the iPhone, Maemo is alot more free (as in you can modify almost anything) and tinker capable. It's hard to break an iPhone software wise. It's easier to do so Maemo wise. Not so sure about Android, Palm Pre, or Windows Mobile though.

And no the n900 won't be for Average Joes. They might understand why it's so special when they can see it does things other phones can't (e.g. compared to an iPhone which can't multi-task officially). But that's assuming if they even own an iPhone, most people here in the states own dumbphones (like I do now lol).

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
