But yeah, like I said before. I call BS on running 30 apps at once. Try running 30 open browser windows and see what happens.
The same thing that will happen if I try and open 30 browser windows on my quad-core desktop with 4gb of RAM. Running 30 browser windows is not the same as 30 different apps but rather one app (browserd) being overtaxed which forces it to timeslice and swap. Add to that the fact that certain web pages (and plugin) are notorious for being resource hogs and it's no wonder that the system gets 'slow and laggy' as you put it.

The bottom line is the number of apps that can be run comfortably on the N900 is inconsequential. Whether it's 20, 24, or 30 (and plenty of YouTube proof showing that) - it's still multiples more than any other mobile device on the market at the moment.
