Well... you can see this as a good and a bag thing at the same time...

Good thing is that the n900 has, clearly, set the bar higher from those times from iphone (rememeber? iphone? could not even multitask pfff....) So by pushing harder and harder this mobile/computer/tablet/horse with a sword on the head-thingie is a clear sign that people are clearly understanding what it is to have a mobile/computer/tablet/horse with a sword on the head-thingie in their pockets. Different from the iphone times.

Also nokia will get much much more feedback once the n900 hits the streets (much more than with the previous maemo devices) and they will for sure build with this experience.

The bad thing is engadget.... I just dont like them dot.
