It's hardly ever better than the original - DosBox excepted.

But as it stands, to swipe the entire iTunes Music Store as "garbage"... that's quite possibly the most stupid thing I've seen in ages. If you said "majority", no argument. If you said "some", no argument. But "all" - no.

Even I have 12 apps that do exist on the iPhone that do not exist on the N900 that I use regularly. I'll remain patient, wait for the actual development to catch up with the platform - it's a new platform and it took the iPhone some 2+ years to get apps I actually even liked and kept.

So far, DialCentral is about it on the N900 I couldn't live without. That's one... and counting.

It'll get there. But less time on emulation, more on improving the base OS - like the PIM features... or phone... or e-mail client.
I did not call the iTunes Music Store "garbage" . . . . my point is that with the thousands of Apps in the App Store . . . . most are frivolous apps that you would never use . . . they are only so many things you need on a mobile . . . I read an article that said the average iphone user only used about 5 Apps . . . I would definitely prefer to use a few more but defiantly not a thousand or even a hundred.


People are quit to point out "iPhone has 100,000 Apps" but are you going use 100,000 Apps?


How many of the 100,000 Apps are even worth the download?


Yes, A SOLID MUSIC APP is a must, photo editing and recording, social networking integration apps are always good, a feed reader, a kick *** web browser, some games, phone, email and contact of course, but what else really is their?


Can you name 100 Mobile Apps that you need on your phone?
(or even on your PC for that matter?)

I am sorry if I came off that way . . . that was not my intent . . . I am not mad because you want to run the Apps your used to using.


That is why I ending my rant with a question....If you could name the Apps maby 10-20 that you think are missing from Maemo


That way people in the community and/or developers of the Original Project's themselves can contribute a Maemo App that would fit your needs or even let you know about a program that is available that you might not know about.
