Me too...

I'm not bothered by spending 4 times as much since with the price of ine iPhone i could have bought two N900s.

Nevertheless you have to understand that N900 is not as widespread as iPhone and maemo is not made for a wide audience so naturally apps might be more expensive...

But 3$? 1/2 pizza OR 1 bottle of juice... it's cheaper than air.

The complaint I have is why is the N900 470$ in US and 600-700 euros over here...
