Mind you I am not saying I will rush to the platform which has the most apps - in that case I would have choosen iPhone.

What I want is usefull apss and a few killer apps (like the Google Navigation app). If Maemo can provide me that - inspite of having lesser number of apps in all (with lesser fart apps as well) I am ok with that.

The thing that bothers me is having system tools as 50 - 70% of the apps count. That's not what I am looking for.

Frankly I have been a linux enthusiast since a long time - have used Linux on my desktops and laptops since Mandrake Linux and those days. Now at this point in my life - I find that I am not driven by my OS religion - I am driven by my use cases. I want function first out of technology. So camps don't apeal to me - functionality of those camps do. But I do hear you.
