The n900 running anything the n8x0 can? ... Virtually all the work by penguinbait and qole ... I suggest looking up exactly what the n8x0 managed to run .. It is pretty impressive...and I never saw a minuscule fraction of any of it available for the n900. And I seriously doubt it was due to lack of interest. And that is just os-wise... The work JUST those two did as well on alternate DE's and WM's for the n8x0 also is pretty impressive... yet again ..I don't see the bulk of what they accomplished for the n8x0 ..available for the n900.. As far as applications go.... even something as mundane ... (and as far as I feel ...SO needed...).. I don't see an auto-updating auto-scrolling rss feed widget for the n900... Or did I miss that? Hell I don't see that for android or linux... maybe I am not looking in the right places ...but I have yet to find anything on any other device than the n8x0's that offer that gem. Or actual xmms .... which can handle 1000's and 1000's of songs in a playlist at a time... that has a good list of plugins... that has virtualization eye candy.... xmms can run on the n8x0... why isn't it available for the n900? sure we now have oscp for the n900 and n8x0... which is much more well rounded than xmms... But even still...why isn't there xmms for the n900 if it can run the same stuff the n8x0 can? you would think from day 1 that THAT program would have been ported over ...or at least come stock... BETTER..since the belief is that the n900 is such the up-tick in design and innovation over the n8x0.....the n900 should have come with or been ported xmms2 .....actually. No I think ...when all is said and done... If what the n8x0 ...( past tense as well...could , did...and still does) accomplish ..... it is a given then .... with such certainty that the n900 is such a huge improvement and leap over the n8x0... that if it were possible ... it would have been almost immediately done ...and available for the n900 .... So why not? Is it that the same people who accomplished volumes for the n8x0 ... and who also had the n900... weren't interested in making the same things that the n8x0 available for the n900? I find that hard to believe... In short... Precious little of what the n8x0 could accomplish made it's way to the n900. Dig back ...and look enough and start writing down a list of the os's, de's, and wm's that folks got running on both the n900 and the n8x0 ... and to my understanding ...on those 3 areas alone... ... the n900 being slightly more updated ..with a little more ram .. and the n900 being a physical "phone" as well ... (and even then..sip and internet telephony and skype still work on the n8x0 ...so ...) all of which are outdated. is all the n900 has going for it compared to the n8x0 ... in 2017.
