I'm loving the n900.
And I'm loving maemo.

Now I've seen dbus-scripts even more!

With little scripts in Python, Perl, Shell or Dbus you can do nearly everything practical task with very low efford.

With apt-get you are open to the debian world of professional tools (not like android tools, who are like toys).

I use my n900 tablet phone daily
- as my phone
- for emails
- for sms (not daily)
- as browser
- as remote for the TV
- to control vlc on another computer
- to test little programmimg tasks
- for my bible lecture, my prayer and the holy mass
- as contact list
- as list for daily task

I sometimes use it
- for painting
- as music player
- as webradio
- to look webTV
- as ebook reader or for pdf files
- to take photos (Christmas-light photos get very beautiful with "lowlight")

It is perfect for youtube (except flash 10.1)

I like the design and the main applications, which are kept simple but inside they are very powerful.


There are some closed applications. But they can easily be extended by open ones.

The problems are not the applications but the missing will of Nokia to bring them up to date by their programmers.

Nokia is giving away a jewel with maemo.
Maemo is a little, round and beautiful system.
Very practical and efficient.

That's why Nokia will never have success:
They don't take care what they have.
Instead of new things they should support what they have.




(PS.: Now my mother has given to me an iPod nano 6th generation. When my bracelet will be arrived I will use it as my watch. The n900 sends information about sms, email and phone to the iPod display by rds. I've tested it already and it works, Through the radio the iPod can play webradio sent by the n900.

It would be up to nokia to produce such bracelet devices specialised for their own phones. Are they sleeping?)
