Well, your question was why do I find Android more restrictive than *nix. This question can't be answered without comparison. Besides my post was more about *nix' openness vs Android's closeness. It was not specific to Maemo. > > Or stock up on the n900 (buy as many remaining units as you can, perhaps a > room full of n900's) :-) I don't really understand your comment and it seems to be digressing. I have one Maemo device as against 3 Android. Happy? Instead of such remarks, I sincerely hoped, you'll share some tricks about how Android has ways to overcome some of the shortcomings that I mentioned.
