Then you're not being realistic which is entirely your free choice but it looks really weird because meanwhile you're claiming the masses have it all wrong.

To draw an analogy: you want a Mini to behave like a truck. You can mod the Mini all you want, and succeed in some areas, but why not take advantage of the characteristics of the Mini and use that to apply the Mini where applicable. Or another analogy: running x86-32 on IA-64.

If all you want is running full version of desktop software on mobile platform you can just grab a Zaurus and run KDE on that. Or some kind of whatever device with some kind of form factor ("mobile platform") and hack GNOME on it. You won't need Maemo then; you rather want say Debian GNU/Linux ARM(EL) port.

Web server and Asterisk are bad examples since they're not GUI software. In fact, for both we have finger touch UI on Maemo 5.
