The N900 offers a fantastic media player, TuneWiki integration, internet radio, FM radio, FM transmitter, great audio output for headphones, bluetooth AD2P and DNLA support. Mine even has 48 GB of storage.

And don't even start me on the applications...
That's a fair point. The N900 doesn't seem like it's shabby in the music department. But he was comparing it to the few other phones at this level, like the iPhone, N97, Droid. And I think he was addressing general consumers. If you're willing to put up with iTunes (which I personally hate and avoid at all costs) then the N900 may be good, but the iPhone may to a lot of people seem a lot better, except for the lesser amount of storage space.
