I don't get this infinite trumpeting of Google's Android as the hottest fuzz around. I for one find Android too limited and the vanilla Android UI to look boring as hell. This combined with devices not really matching my tastes (the physical qwerty slide-out keyboards being odd by norm), I for one can say that
Android isn't for everyone!
Sure, I would like that Flash 10 support, but for me Flash10 is a minor deficit, because 99,7% of the web's content still plays on my N900 or am I wrong? Also, unlike Android, the MeeGo UI's we've seen so far have all looked better than vanilla Android UIs and the Nokia one looked better than any Sense UI I've ever seen. MeeGo just seems to pack the functionality and power of Maemo to go with the eyecandy and great expandibility.
So when I see this kind of raving about "Android this Android that therefore I'm such a sucker to have the N900" I must feel that we're sliding towards a "cultural degredation" in terms of having multiple OS's around. It's always about finding just one OS instead of liking many, and because Android is American it receives inherently more attention. God knows in Finland we trumpet Nokia's achievements like nobody else's (well we used to before it became hip to diss Nokia). This makes Android inherently the only viable OS in many (American blogger) people's minds.
Sorry didn't mean to fanboy rant here, as my next device will be MeeGo but not necessarily Nokia's MeeGo.
EDIT: And what's with the
stutter
in the videos in that demo!
