They don't replace actual N900/Maemo apps. For example, Ice Weasel crashes on flash, OOo has some options that ram it into the ground, some dialogs don't fit, so there's the options you can never toggle problem. On the plus side,
real
addons!
A very good aid, but not the answer.
@qwazix
Oh, you mean like vuvuzela, moobox, candle, etc?
Heh.
Anyway, some platform has mostly free stuff, but few apps, another has a truckload, but most cost. I don't see this as a no-brainer.
Besides, they don't have MyPaint because it's a Linux app, but they have equivalents. Also, they have FTP, as well a SSH, VNC, VPN. Not exactly poor.
So does WM.
As for office,
WM has it
,
iPhone has it
. Android is a Linux OS, so it has the same issues as us, but they are Google-based, so I'm guessing online editing comes natural.
While I agree that asking for quantity is wrong, let's be fair, it's not like they have all-quantity-and-no-quality.
