First off get your figures right (Thousands not hundreds) if you need extra fingers to count with im sure the iphone has an app for that.
Second all the Apps in the repositories are developed by all sorts of enthusiasts and expert developers/programmers. They produce some of the best apps and ports available on ANY platform. There are too many to go through but all the hard work and effort they put in is then given mostly free of charge back to the community. You can slate many things to do with the N900 but do not start on this community.

Ps I dont hate you I pitty you if you really are that narrow minded and actually believe the crap you wrote.
