It leaves you in control. You can do anything with the OS, install anything, develop anything for it. Without an iTunes/Google/MS account. It's not limited to some proprietary connection over USB. There are so many things... As it is, no need to "jailbreak" it or something.
Obviously it's not as fast, user-friendly, or easy to develop for.
- raesene9 11y agosure if what you want in a mobile phone is mobile linux, then I'd agree maemo is better. But when designing a device for the mass-market (which is where I'd suggest a flagship smartphone should be looking at), is that really better than something which is faster, more user-friendly and easier to develop for?
- Aoyagi 11y agoHeh, of course not. Making a power-user focused flagship doesn't make a lot of business sense. From that point of view, iOS is more capable (of making money) and better in general due to ease of use. But "ease of use" is not the primary thing I'm looking for when I think of smartphones.
