Honestly . . . all those million and one iPhone Apps are actually mindless pieces of garbage . . . . . thousands of fart machines and virtual flash-light apps . . . . a ton a rss readers to act as mobile versions of websites giving them the ability to be in the app store . . .

Honestly, I made a similar post like this related to integrating a Java/Android Layer into the Maemo Kernel to add the ablity of running android apps but after unboxing my N900 today I really do not see the need.

How many apps do you really need?

(The N900 already has quite a few if enable the maemo.org extras and I know their are a bunch more on the way)


Is it really worth slowing down your pure linux device just to say it can run iphone/droid apps?


Even better yet, is it worth spending time developing the ability to run these apps when you can spend time building MORE ROBUST, FULL FEATURED LINUX APPLICATIONS for the Maemo OS?

(Or spend a little bit of time porting some of the GREAT FULL FEATURED LINUX DESKTOP APPLICATIONS to the Maemo OS)


All and all their are plenty of great apps out for Maemo Already that can do almost everything you can do with an iPhone can do (except make fart noises) and a few apps that do things that the iphone can't do like make 3G skype calls.

iFeel that the Nokia N900 has an app for pretty much every practical purpose that you need in a Mobile Device . . .


My Question .....

What Apps do you miss from your old iPhone or Android Device that are not yet available for Maemo ???
