I don't understand the negativity around here. Why do people sound so offended by just a suggestion?

Surely its a powerful device with multi-tasking capability but would it not be amazing to have the option to go for UI smoothness when you want to? I'm sure there are technical obstacles and it definitely easier said than done but its all about ideas. Why not? It might be difficult and might not make the N900 smoother than the iPhone but smoother for sure I would say.

I'd agree with pycage. I don't know about the reliability of the open source components used but the audio stuttering and media tracking are noticeably horrible at times.

fahadj2003, with full functionality, the crap I laid out in my bathroom would be better than Maemo. The real question, however, is whether NITDroid will ever have the full functionality of Android OS. I, for one, doubt it. Maemo will remain the most appropriate OS for N900.
