To pick one of the above though the N900 doesn't currently have Java. It would be foolish to think "Great! I like C and that means we'll get lots of C applications instead of Java ones!". Certainly all the applications you'll get will be in C (if that's all you support) but it doesn't mean you'll get all the applications you would have gotten if you supported C and Java.

Of course the N900 can run Java and probably will.
