Actually a lot of the complaints you have actually is working in Maemo 5 (and I imagine would in 6) in some fashion already... Abiword and Gnumeric for example I know are being run - I just can't recall if they are maemo packages or from easy debian.

But as evidenced by Easy Debian, OpenOffice, and several apps will run on the tablet... it's just a matter of someone taking the time to optify and re-write their GTK/QT to work with Maemo instead of normal desktops.

I would imagine a good many of these shortcomings will be fixed fairly soon.. since the Nokia is barely a month (right?) old.. it's a little unreasonable to expect it to be both perfect and have all the apps that Android and iPhone do. I have hopes for Maemo though because of how similar coding for it is to the desktop, I think it will be easier to get developers for Maemo than for any other phone out there because a good number of people, (read: anyone who has every coded anything for Linux) already have almost all the knowledge they need to code for Maemo. WIth the iPhone, Palm Pre, and Android you have to learn a whole new set of rules and possibly a whole new language.

If developers are willing to do that... they have to be willing to code for a device they already know *how*. Just my thoughts. I foresee the N900 getting pretty big (it would be bigger if the price tag wasn't so bad.)
