As a said in last thread, Maemo does not have so much softwares but as few that we have, we can find a good softwares and if we have 2, 3 softwares on each category, it is enough for everyone.

Normally, as i think, softwares are to do specific tasks and everybody says that Android is better than Maemo because we can have a bigger software catalog but that everybody wants is to choose only one and this software may satisfy my needs.

I already have a Nokia N95 and naturally, when i will use another operating system, I will search for softwares that we already use and i will find softwares that do the same things and others that we can't do with old smartphones.
