I have a little suggestion for those who are or are able to work on the N900's future system software. One of the key issues people have with the N900 is smoothness. Compared to the iPhone, its visibly laggy but N900 lovers point out (perhaps correctly) that the N900 multi-tasks while the iPhone prioritizes the UI.

Well, how about a "UI Performance Optimized" mode for the N900 where multi-tasking could be made limited (maybe even one or two applications at a time) while making the UI smoother? Is it possible? I think it'll be an AMAZING feature to have!

Maybe not the ultimate solution, but I just reflashed and everything is much better now. Besides Maemo is not really designed to be 'smooth', while iOS is(IMO).

I don't understand this "If you don't like this, buy an iPhone" sort of behavior. For one, I don't have money to shed on a new expensive smartphone every few months and secondly, it is actually something a lot of people would want to see. Whats the harm in having two modes on this "mobile computer"? Just like you tweak display settings to automatically optimize performance or appearance?

What you're asking for is probably NITDroid(Android for the N900). It *should* feel 'faster' than Maemo.

1. Tweak your phone(swapiness, move stuff to different flash memory)
2. Install theme with custom transitions. I forgot the name of it, but it makes the phone UI look UBER responsive.

NITDroid is a joke. It will never be as functional and complete as Maemo.

What about to close a application yourself before you open the next one?
