This is a strange answer and I'll assume you don't work for the Maemo team - correct me if I'm wrong.

So, if I am to understand you - the Maemo team essentially said, "let's just put some piece of **** media player on the N900 and call it a day. no one expects this to replace their PMP and they should be happy with what they get."

That doesn't seem right to me. I don't think they think that way - I have to believe they are less than pleased with the media player and want it to be better.

Hell, why didn't they just make incorporate Canola as the media player?

In any event, all they need to do is:

* better gui (look to the Zune HD UI for some inspiration)
* gapless playback
* pause music on phone call
* figure out a way to make the media player more robust when a txt/sms/phonecall interrupts the playback
