I'm not a Linux die hard enthusiast although i've been acquainted with the platform since RedHat 5x.
I was acquainted with Symbian since Epoc 32 and its commercial rise with the 7650(i was a member of the allaboutsymbian admin team)
I've also been a member of various other communities which fancied my interest over the years(BeOS, Mac, BSD, Windows, Ipaq etc).
My point beeing im not blindly biased towards one platform or vendor
.
I don't have a problem with your preferrance for Apple products.
What intrigues me is your passive/aggresive propagation of the Apple "supremacy" in a community that is no way connected to Apple. I certainly don't go to various Apple/Google forums claiming that maemo/n900 is the best.
So my question is - What motivates you to lurk for every possible opurtunity to advertise your apple scented opinion here, on a forum where Apple is not a really joyful subject of discussion.

How do you <3 them apples

Actually, I should take this post more seriously.

What should I do, gush about the N900 on every other post?

I've had other linux based handhelds before getting the N900, so having xterm in my pocket is not a big deal for me anymore. To me, what's special in N900 is its task manager; and well, the browser is decent. Other than that, not so special (to me).

Everything else is pretty much par for the course for Nokia:
- Hardware is good, Nokia's standard. But it's not extraordinary.
- Performance is good, but all Cortex A8 based devices share this same trait.
- Other than the task manager (and browser?) the rest of the app is par for the course for a linux distro. PIM apps are below standard. Phone app is somewhat below the standard (no USSD, no MMS). Email is just sad.

So, I don't have that much great thing to talk about my N900.

Excuse me if I find other things more amusing at this point in time...
