As for the sound meter, you may be able to find/dpkg arecord. I think it still comes with alsa-utils. Or you could find a package for pavumeter, since Maemo uses pulseaudio.

As far as games, having nearly limitless storage and having every single system I care about on my device, not to mention being able to play flash games like a champion, and the few gems like Angry Birds and ZenBound, OpenGL ported games (openarena), you name it. I don't really see what the iPhone offers that my N900 doesn't, minus a polished interface for less-than-apt individuals and and oleophobic display.

In all seriousness though, my experience is that Maemo is a better platform. Nevertheless, I await Nitdroid call-making-abilities eagerly. Hopefully, we'll be able to get Cyanogenmod on with it.
