I don't think that's the answer. If we want this device to be used my the masses (ie better support/development), we need to make things easier for those folks. It's always going to be compared to the Iphone and it's easy use. I don't want an Iphone, but i think we need to move towards making these type of tasks, "one button widget clicks". Just my two cents.

Sirius would be pretty cool, especially since I am in korea. It's nice to hear some english news/music.
Agreed. I had myself fooled into thinking I could just use things like Pandora in the web browser and get around the need for apps. Sure it works, kind of, but it takes forever to load and is really hard to navigate due to the screen size.

Compare that to just tapping the Pandora widget on my android phone and there is no contest. Even though the n900 browser can access websites most devices can't, it still can't beat a dedicated app when it comes to speed and ease of use.
