I'm not a Linux die hard enthusiast although i've been acquainted with the platform since RedHat 5x.
I was acquainted with Symbian since Epoc 32 and its commercial rise with the 7650(i was a member of the allaboutsymbian admin team)
I've also been a member of various other communities which fancied my interest over the years(BeOS, Mac, BSD, Windows, Ipaq etc).
My point beeing im not blindly biased towards one platform or vendor
.
I don't have a problem with your preferrance for Apple products.
What intrigues me is your passive/aggresive propagation of the Apple "supremacy" in a community that is no way connected to Apple. I certainly don't go to various Apple/Google forums claiming that maemo/n900 is the best.
So my question is - What motivates you to lurk for every possible opurtunity to advertise your apple scented opinion here, on a forum where Apple is not a really joyful subject of discussion.
How do you <3 them apples

Actually, I should take this post more seriously.
What should I do, gush about the N900 on every other post?
I've had other linux based handhelds before getting the N900, so having xterm in my pocket is not a big deal for me anymore. To me, what's special in N900 is its task manager; and well, the browser is decent. Other than that, not so special (to me).
Everything else is pretty much par for the course for Nokia:
- Hardware is good, Nokia's standard. But it's not extraordinary.
- Performance is good, but all Cortex A8 based devices share this same trait.
- Other than the task manager (and browser?) the rest of the app is par for the course for a linux distro. PIM apps are below standard. Phone app is somewhat below the standard (no USSD, no MMS). Email is just sad.
So, I don't have that much great thing to talk about my N900.
Excuse me if I find other things more amusing at this point in time...

And, because some posters in this thread (not you, overfloat) are assuming that this came from Apple, let's just say it explicitly here: The "Apple response" is some guy's humor, and not from Apple.
