For anyone that is interested, there is a way to jailbreak a PS3 with Android using an App called PSFreedom (http://phandroid.com/2010/09/06/use-...playstation-3/ and look... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772953 The N900 even gets a mention as a device that CAN do it in the XDA's Android forums without the hoard of flaming that someone on here seemed to expect.)

I'll admit it doesn't do OTG, as far as I know. I thought the N900 can't do OTG without some hacking? I know my N800 does, so technically Maemo wins there.

I'm not sure that the relative intelligence of users ever quite figured into any of the conversation. o.O

Multitasking--Android has it, but I wouldn't call it jawdropping. Compared to Maemo's multitasking, it's a weakness. It's far better than iPhone but not quiet as good as Maemo, so it sits somewhere in the middle.

Google is probably trying to control the world. I have no information on that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know Apple tried but they're starting to show signs of slowing down. Where's Nokia on that?




Android is open-core... not entirely open-source. Maemo is also open-core.. not entirely open-source. As far as I can tell, there's really no bragging rights to that from either camp except that Android seems to be doing a better job of opening up more portions and freeing up dependencies on Google's closed apps, whereas I see the opposite trend with Maemo. It's my hope that MeeGo doesn't arrive in the same shape as Maemo.
i got to sayp you make a very strong point, thumbs up on that, forget what i said about the intellegence part, that only works on ios .
i have nothing against android, in fact if the n9 was running on a 1ghz snapdragon, i prefer switching to a gingerbread arm more than 1 ghz device, because i think these are the specs of an android device in q2-3 2011 .
but i know i'm going to switch back to meego .
