yeah i'm wondering the same too..however, i'm sure nokia has their reasons for not letting users in accessing the file system. as we know it, not all N900 users are power-users..

so, having access to file system might increase the risks of bricking the device if the user didn't know what he/she is doing or accidentally deletes/move/or modifies certain system files.. (this goes for non-techy users)..

hence here comes the pros of linux open source software (which is filebox in this case)..with it, power users can install it and then access the file system to do what they intend to do with it..

non-techy users can opt not to install it..lol..
