i was joking about that last post dont worry im not a troll
well iphone and android both have A LOT more devs and support than the n900 will ever have, so obviously they will have more apps.
but we have mostly only useful apps because actual reguar people make them and they dont want to waste their time on farting apps and stupid stuff like that.
but think, when the n900 came out there were only 10 or so apps, but now theres more than a thousand!!! and there are many more to come
also you can use nitdroid if all the maemo apps just arent enough for you
