same powerful proccesor like the ARM8 550 or 600Mhz (whatever it is...)

Multi-tasks

Same pretty much resolution screen

Both as keyboards

Brower both support FLASH (i heard Android will eventually get Flash 10.0?)

Both feature multiple desktops??

Both 5MP cam recorder (they hailed Android can record HD at 24fps, N900 25fps)

Most importantly and this is KILLER Android feature FREE turn by turn Nav w/ google map (this is a SICK FEATURE) and this maybe the reason i am switching!!


So anyway, can someonce convince me that N900 is better?? And Android is cheaper too!! Only $200 after re-bate.
Depending on what you do multi-tasking, multi-tasking will be slower on Android due to the way their operating system works. Maemo will also be getting flash 10 in next year. That being said get you think will suit you better.

Personally both are attractive choices though I prefer Maemo more for the moment because it's more open (thus you don't have to hack around as much to get it to do what you want), and it's likely more efficient than Android due to the way the two operating systems work..

If Android can change the way apps are run in its environment and became more open than I would be using Android.
