What are the geekiest/coolest show-off-apps we have?
 
For general porposes :D
I was wondering what you would find the geekiest or coolest apps wich you would show off to your friends ;)

What I could think of:

- Capsule 3d (3d viewing of demo files)
- Easy Debian (virtual PC!)
- Tweak Flash Plugin (flash 10 faker for flash 9 compatible movies etc.)
- ATI85 (texas instruments graphical calculator emulator)
- Transmission (torrent handler)


Not as if I want to compare my phone to my friends' but merely show what they have missed by buying something like HTC or iPhone4 :p Any ideas? Like augumented reality?

Flip through my desktops and then Show about 12-15 windows in multi-tasking. X-term with whoami. SSH daemon.

Nothing real flashy, though. On the N97, even the iPhone guys would ooh and ahh at the betalabs photo browser flicking through 400 pics or so.

did you compare the n97 to the n900??
really?
serious?
are you smoking something?
or maybe you drunk?
or maybe you are the 0,0001 percent who was happy with his n97?

Conversations app. Many different online accounts are integrated in one place. It provides a great convenience to reach people. I would love to have Google Earth and Google Navigation were in Maemo5 or in the coming MeeGo.

In terms of apps, there are hardly any I'm afraid.It's really sad.
All I can show off these days is some of N900's OS capabilities.

Such as:
- MicroB playing youtube videos in the background while multitasking.
- mplayer playing videos in the background while multitasking.
- xterminal (lol)
- old school midnight commander
- Ability to use queen beecon widget to make nearly any widget.
- Integration of many online accounts in contacts/conversations.
- Dual booting to NITDroid. But even HTC HD2 do this much better already.

There are far more cool stuff in Android/iPhone than N900 that's for sure.
But I still like the N900 due to hw keyboard, awesome multitasking capability.

N900 running Ubuntu, Nitdroid, Fedora, or its stock OS. Win win.

Agree ^^^ RDesktop.

You are right folks :D many things seeming standard are only possible with Maemo 5.
