Ahh.. but if you can't get that one single app you need or would like, that you seen available on the Iphone or Android handset, then that's enough to trigger the "not enough apps" reflex in some people.

There's a huge commerical industry creating applications for iPhone and Android (and RIM, Bada, even Symbian..) that don't give the N900 a second look - from games, banking, TV and online media companies to mention a few. From next year we'll start to see new types of services rolling throughout UK such as NFC payments. So it's not that hard to imagine there will be applications and services that are attractive to people only available on other devices, and the trend is for that gap to increase. The trick is for Nokia to turn the goodbye threads into "goodbye N900, hello N9" threads as we move on to newer devices.

And actually i like the thickness of the N900.. see, we're all different
