Since very few days I've got NitDroid and I'm very proud about my multiboot.

Many thanks to the developers on the maemo side and on the NitDroid side. You did a phantastic job!

But the design of Android is primitive against Maemo.
Hildon desktop is really noble! Android has a childish design for teenies... (The design of Android is a little bit like MeeGo: Many colours. Cheep looking, like a child toy for children. Hildon is really elegant and presentable.)


If n900 had the design of android it would only have half the worth.

Another thing I like very much are the fixed applications like the file manager, the multimedia player, the pdf viewer and other applications of the Hildon design.
They are very nice designed and kept very simple with very efficient functionality.
Those main applications give you security on your device and you are feeling at home beneath all the wood of strange applications that come from people you don't know.

Also the integration of applications and social services is excellent in Maemo.
Skype and also the flashplayer integration in the browser, the contacts and birthdays. The contacts database can be a database for personal settings regarding special persons for many applications.
Maemo has the best integration of all systems I know.

You see: I'm loving maemo and it has become my absolut favorite.

Yes, I'm missing many things:
- Better flashplayer
- thumb nails for pdf
- google maps and streetview integration
- (better) integration of execution of android, javaSE, javaME applications
- more users

I've bought my device for meego.
But now I'm loving Maemo so much that I would never install meego as main system.
I hope that Dalvik comes soon to Maemo to take advantage of many applications written by many users.

But maemo is very special: My absolute favorite.

I like debian and QT very much (two ennemis) since their beginning.
Maemo integrates both and Nokia now owns QT.
Python makes QT available for simple scripts.

Is there any other platform that is so rich and powerful?
