Neither are available as apps to the common user. These are "future possible product demos", not something you can get from your local app store/repository.

Again, not quite. They use Qik, which means most editing is done on Qiks servers on-line, not on the device. The only thing they allow you do to on the device is select the clip area you want to send to Qik (mainly for bandwidth constraints). You can not download an FLV to the local device, convert it to mpeg on the device, and then play/offload that file somewhere else. With the N900, you can do just that.

I was using those two things as examples, not as specific "you must be able to do ray tracing and local video editing to be a computer". My primary point was what the device was designed to do. Android (pre-3.0) and iPhone have OSes that were made with the sole intent of being a phone, which was then extended to include "smart" functionality like apps. Maemo was designed to run on a tablet computer, and until revision 5 didn't support telephony, GPRS, 3G or any type of SIM related hardware.

Calling an iPhone or Android a computer is like calling an XBox a PC. They have similar hardware, and if you really try you can force the XBox to behave like a PC, at the expense of having it NOT behave like an XBox. The XBox was never designed to run anything besides XBox games, the iPhone was never designed to be a computer.

Meamo was designed to be a computer. You can tack stuff on to it to make it do some very phone-like things, but it's wasn't designed to be a phone from the start. You can add a SIM reader/3G antenna to your PC home which allows it to get data and make voice calls, that doesn't make your PC a smartphone.

Deny it all you want, but it's the nature of how this device came into being. Maemo 1-4 was made for devices that had no SIM and no telephony capabilities. It was tacked on in version 5 to provide basic support. It was not re-written whole-sale to be a phone first and have other "smart" stuff going on second. By it's nature, it's a computer, not a phone. All one has to do it look at the model number and lineup to see this.
