If someonde make an app with nice and bright GUI please tell me, everytinhg in this phone is dark, even themes
I am looking for a sound meter for n900, even opened a thread at brainstorm section for that, but looks like no one care for this. I have to use another cel with symbiam to do some sound meter.
I like n900 very much, I was between he and milestone (android) e choose this one for the open stuff. What i am seeing is not pleasing me very much, although only us can run gimp.

And so many nice games for iphone 3gs and none for n900. The hardware is like the same, but i know we never will be able to play games like that. Dont want only emulators.
I'm trying to think of a situation where I'd actually need an application that measures wind. That just sounds frivolous and stupid, like most of the iPhone/iPod Touch 'why not?' apps.

As for the sound meter, you may be able to find/dpkg arecord. I think it still comes with alsa-utils. Or you could find a package for pavumeter, since Maemo uses pulseaudio.

As far as games, having nearly limitless storage and having every single system I care about on my device, not to mention being able to play flash games like a champion, and the few gems like Angry Birds and ZenBound, OpenGL ported games (openarena), you name it. I don't really see what the iPhone offers that my N900 doesn't, minus a polished interface for less-than-apt individuals and and oleophobic display.
