PCs have been doing this for a long time, but the WOW factor was always with the MACs.....Help me understand this Meego thing on a BIG picture scale.
Umm. I never felt a single wow factor with iPhone or MAC. Ever. But I'm a PC gamer...
If iPhone 4G or whatever has a hardware keyboard, then I'll start even considering it.

What N900 has which iPhone may never get:
- Play many different codecs. (xvid, ac3, ogg etc etc)
- Root / open access out of the box.
- No limit on what apps you can install without hacking.
- Hardware keyboard (to me, this is the biggest asset)
- No need for itunes app

To me, iPhone is like a Nintendo Wii. Made for masses.
Apple did a damn good job at that. Just like Nintendo.

N900 / Meego imo will be targeted at a different market.
N900 is more like a PS3. Only that it is already open. =P

If you don't see what the big fuss is about with the N900 or the Meego right now, then you obviously aren't the right type of customer that Nokia is intending to sell to. Symbian is still the main competitor for iPhone OS so you should look at Symbian phones instead.
