I mean just about every advertisment and movie i see today has that abominable iphone shown in em.
I dont want to bash or abuse Apple, they have obiviously created great brand and great products when people go nuts to get them and Apple makes such huge profit. There is some serious homework to do for every other cellphone/netbook/computer manufacturer.

What I was saying was that iPhone and N900 are fundamentally very different devices for different people. It is also understandable that there is more apps for Iphone than N900 because:

- There is much larger amount of iPhones out there
- Users are willing to pay for the apps (because they can get them only from Apple store/they obiviously are willing to spend some money when getting such an expensive phone with operator lock)

If it was cheap to port apps for Maemo/Meego app developer could live with smaller customer base and we would get more apps in the future. But is it so, that is what I'm curious about.
