After switching to Mac and then purchasing the N800, I have become aware for the "Open Source" movement. My initial observations and experience gave me a feeling of hope and euphoria. This quickly faded as more and more I came across half written projects, started but not finished projects, projects that seemed to be only written for developers, basically bad applications. While I am no fan of Microsoft, I have to agree that the "Open Source" communities that I see are a hodge-podge of hopes and promises with little or no substance behind it. Yes, my Mac uses FREE BSD but the commercial version was produced by Apple in a controlled environment with the goal of developing a commercial working product that people would pay for. It also appears that many in the "Open Source" community seem to have an anti-establishment mentality where making a buck off of a good product is bad. If someone were to come up with a great sycning application for the N800, I would gladly pay for it. GAIM is not bad and I would consider paying for it as well if it had a bit better functionality. All in all I can appreciate much of the work done in the community but it seems to have no structure or no real zeal to finish things. I guess, I am old school in that I believe in finishing what you start.
