Probably the web browser, since pretty much nothing else is worth writing home about

Mediaplayer and IbizaSonica net radio. Great shout. That combination is boss

Amazing applications would be Photoshop, a beautiful full 3D game, a fully functional PSX/N64 emulator, a fully functional integrated Media Player. Commandline apps are an automatic no-go

Midnight Commander has the ugliest interface known to man.

For me, Easy Debian brings the full power of Linux to the N900. In particular, it allowed me to combine zim with Latex and run it with versioning control - things that probably will be stripped for the native app, no?
