Not so sure about that, I booted into NITDroid the other day to show a couple of IPhone owners - they were quite impressed with the ease of the whole process, and these are guys who are fairly tech savvy. Also, I find it odd you are comparing an "App Killer" task manager with the N900's multitasking model, as it's not really the same thing from a technological perspective, or is it (I'm not really clued up on Android, I will freely admit)?

I'm sure it's pretty cool to be able to run Palm Pre games directly on the device with no binary modifications. Plus there was the PSGroove hack (old news now of course), which not only made lots of people go "wow", but the N900 was way ahead of the rest in terms of ports.

However, the best thing about these two is that they are homebrew modifications/ports which are only facilitated by the openness of Maemo, and the N900 itself. I mean, the N900 is coming up to 12 months old now, and it is still competing with brand new phones if you know how to look after it.

Clearly, the N900 is a phone which is aimed at a very limited sector of the market, and people have obviously been mis-sold the phone by Nokia, which I think is where the majority of valid complaints come from.
