joe want to have a nice userfriendly interface like the iphone.

an appstore with tons of miserable apps ,some of them are rly good, but all of them look nice.

and thats the point.

there is a tv-remote program for the n900.
that app is looking really complicated for joe...
a linux person is accustomed to complicated software ^^

but i want a apps which are easy and fast to use and that will be the problem of the n900.

Nice. I'll just dust off my 80's shoulder pads and put on my skinny keyboard necktie and we can go dancing. Somewhere with lasers.

Hopefully we won't be talking about what might have been in a few years. But, unfortunately, better does not imply more successful.

Ignoring the needs of Joe Average puts you in a niche category and all too often those niches gradually disappear. The most commonly cited example is VHS versus Beta (video tape formats from before the days of DVRs and recordable DVDs). Beta had corporate support (Sony) and better recording quality. However they forget one simple thing - that most movies shown on TV ran for two hours with commercials. VHS had two hour tapes, Beta didn't, Beta never caught up with the initial acceptance of VHS and it died.

Nokia needs to focus on Joe. They've already convinced us.

Quick! Somebody write a NASCAR app!

FTW

Not that one, look at the the original post.

N900 - The silicon Jack Bauer

I think Nokia are doing some rather Joe-friendly things already, like binding the communication protocols together on the contact. Of course, Joe will have to administrate these things, he's becoming a system administrator. He best not find out!

I am eager to try the whole N900 experience, but yes... They already convinced us. Joe is probably not all that interested.

"N900 - as seen in the latest James Bond movie"

N900 -- Be James Bond.

I think I opened a can of worms. haha... we should probably have posted these in the thread that asked about slogans.

I don't think any amount of cool Nokia phones can make me into James Bond. :/
