The device you mentioned is an umpc wich is something like a smaller weaker netbook.
N900 unlike it's predecessors is more of a smartPHONE than an internet tablet (wich is neither notebook nor umpc.
It would be nice to have the ability of using usb gadgets on it (like xenon flash) but considering it's size and it's purpuose it's rather concieved the other way around.
And last but not least that umpc does not support gsm.

This has terrible specs with tiny screen,just about you can see the icons on the screen.
It has linux os which is a bad thing, specs are to low to play any game, you won't able to play any pc games and pc programs, the specs are way to low compare to wibrain B1L which is windows xp device can do much more than this device can do, i really wouldn't bother with this portable pc device,it's not very good, we need devices capable of 1.2ghz processor+,60gbhdd,1gb+ ram, why do company's make poor devices like Nokia N900.
I read that on one review. Needs to take consideration.
So what do you think guys?

for clarification:
Nokia N900 MAEMO OS does not use a webkit based web-browser. It uses an independently created web-browswer from Mozilla (the creators of Mozilla Firefox web-browser), and based on recent reviews, supports Adobe Flash 9.4, with full PC Desktop web-browsing functionality, 3rd party add-on(s), and automatic-updates.

The simple fact that you have to "jailbreak" means that it's not open source.
To be concise, can you find any sourcecode from the iphone os anywhere??
Mp3 and apps doesnt't mean anything. Almost any phone theese days can do that. get real.
Answer to:
You can put MP3's from any source onto an iPhone.
Jailbreak and you can do the same with applications.
Then there's Adobe Flash which I covered earlier.

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2009Like Adobe Flash is close sourced so Apple doesn't use it but they developed WebKit which is o... more:S
WebKit still uses Adobe Flash plug-in for flash. It doesn't support Adobe Flash natively. Also, WebKit isn't just used by iPhone (Safari browser built on WebKit), but also by almost every mobile phone out there including Nokia Symbian OS based operating systems.
The N900 MAEMO comes with Fennec (Mozilla built browser; the makers of Firefox), which also uses Adobe Flash plug-in; difference is it has support up to Adobe Flash 9.4, while webkit based browsers tend to only have support up to Adobe Flash 4.
I'm not saying everything should be open-source -- 3rd party applications, games, and misc. software have to be closed source, or else they won't make money. The difference is what it's running on -- MAEMO is open-source, iPhone isn't.
Comparing Adobe Flash on iPhone to MAEMO is the same as comparing a flash light in a boy's hand to a flash light light in a man's hand; a flash light is still a flash light. The flash light has nothing to do with the person. In addition, based on this direct comparison, the man has a real flashlight, while the boy is still playing with a toy flashlight.

The difference is Maemo is open-sourced -- it's easy to modify the Maemo OS, but not so easy to modify the iPhone. Jailbreaking an iPhone is like stealing a car, but just because it's stolen, doesn't mean you can open the hood; with Maemo, the hood is open for you to see how everything works, which makes it alot more easy to modify. :)
Some differences I like to point out between iPhone and N900 in hardware for those who prefer the capacitative touch screen:
personally, I prefer the ability to use a stylus pen, the qwerty keyboard, and a 5 mp camera. I like to wear gloves when it's cold, I don't want to take it off just so I can answer the iPhone when someone is calling me. It's also easier for girls with long finger nails too. :P

come to think of it, i'm one of the early iPhone adaptors 3 years ago, and within this years, apple is giving me the same old specs, the same UI, the same form factor, with only a bits of upgrade yearly for 2G, 3G, 3GS.. and those upgrade were not even astounding, who wouldn't be bored with it.
N900 offers a different experince, sleek UI, better specs and feature, pc-like experience among others! it will be stupid for an apple fanboy like me not to fall for the N900. way to stupid!

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2009You do know that it can't do MMS?just like iphone! anyways at least there's a huge possibility ahead, and Meamo is fast evolving not like iphone who is stock to wilderness.. apple doesn't seemed to listen to consumers demand. there only about to roll out MMS in US and that's a service used by competitors 10 years ago..
well.. thats apple! they tend to rely on hype all along which is about to be trash with consumers like me getting feed up

In reply to this comment:-
"The difference is with Maemo's active community and linux operating system, you aren't restricted to just mp3's, games, and applications from Apple. That's the difference between open-sourced and close-sourced."

As long as you support Adobe Flash you support closed source, you have to wait for Adobe to make it for your OS, web developers have to buy Adobe software to use it, everyone HAS to download the software from Adobe to use it.
I think you are a bit mixed up on Apples position on open source,
