1. Chat
2. Web (startup page)
3. Web (maemo.org)
4. X Terminal
5. Faster Application Manager
6. Phone
7. Settings
8. Email
9. Conversations
10. Sopwith
11. Calculator
12. BatteryGraph
13. Calendar
14. PyGTKEditor
15. LED quickSAVE App (app I made which doesn't fully work yet)
16. RulerJinni
17. EasyList
18. Push It!
19. Leafpad
20. Notes
21. Easy Debian LXDE
22. Dictionary
23. RSS
24. PDF Reader (by this time the UI was starting to get jerky; still, I continued)
25. Blocks
26. Marbles
27. modRana
28. Sketch
29. jspeed (UI almost unusable by now, took 3 minutes to launch)
30. XArchiver (took 12 minutes to open)
31? I gave up waiting for GPS Recorder to launch after 20 minutes. [edit: it did, and so did (32!) File Manager.)
So...I had 30 applications running on my N900 simultaneously, and about 27 before it got too slow to be practical (modRana is a bit of a resource hog).
So I put this question out to all of you: How many apps can you run at a time?
let's see if I can match you... Do running widgets count as applications?

Well, we're basically just limited by ram/swap here; Provided you dedicate a few more gigs to swap(and the applications don't use much cpu once loaded), you could probably end up with a rediculous number of "apps" loaded.
On the other hand, one or two heavy things(Like, say, OpenOffice via EasyDebian) and you could bring it to it's knees.
So, we need a proper testing methodology: either a specific set of common apps, or one or two apps that take a reasonable amount of memory and can be opened many times - a couple of placeholder apps.
Personally, what's important to me is web, so *my* test would be this: How many web windows, all running a specific page(say something on TMO), can be loaded at once such that when switching to any random one, it's less than a second to be usable(i.e. will scroll and the content is visible again).
I've tested with 12 instances of TMO without issues. Of course, 2 instances of Slashdot topics....

wow... are you doing that on purpose? hahaha.. i typically just run:
1. 3 IM accounts
2. 5-6 browsers (microb)
3. calender
4. conky
5. a few conversations
6. settings
7. mediaplayer
8. tweego
9. sociality
10. cutetubeqml
11. xterm
12. fapman - but not for long
widgets are:
1. conversations
2. mediaplayer
3. personal dataplan monitor
4. personal IP
5. 4 QBW for overclocking. currently, always running what my sig says
6. calender
things run generally well now. but if i crank up the number of browsers with those IM accounts online, like say 8+ browsers, then it shows some lagging. i remember just trying to open up all my bookmarks 15+ websites and man did it become slowwwwwww. showed signs of crahshing, but always recovering after a few seconds of painful delay

Also, I am not overclocked, although I doubt that would make much of a difference if it's ram/swap limited.

Impressive number of open applications there but I wonder can you still remotely launch the phone application over the GSM network (aka receiving a call)
I don't have that many installed applications but it is not difficult for me to browse the N900 NIT into missing a call by simply messing around with many browser windows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wbu_JN8Q-k
