She might not be the thinnest, not the smartest, and has a lot of growing up to do…but damn she’s hot!  The Nokia N900 is like a new blonde-bombshell girlfriend that all your friends drool over.  I’ve been using this pocket computer for a few weeks now, and I’m still completely amazed at how much it can do.  So my favorite activities on the N900 so far include:  web browsing, listening to podcasts, making Skype phone calls, and game emulation.

Hands down the killer application on the N900 is the MicroB web browser (based on Mozilla technology).  This thing is phenomenal at providing a full desktop browsing experience.  I haven’t yet run into a page that didn’t display as it does on my desktop computer.  I love browsing on the N900!  Visit back soon, I’m going to be installing Firefox Mobile (beta) for the N900 this evening.  It’s supposed to provide an even better browsing experience with more features.

My evil plan is coming together nicely!  Muwahahah.  Linux everywhere!  I went to Best Buy and preordered a Motorola Droid for the wife today.  She should be able to get it by November 6th on their launch date.  I couldn’t help but get caught by all the great reviews I was reading on it, and the fact that it’s very similar in features to the Nokia n900 I’m awaiting shipment of.

So that’ll make two new cell phones (or, er…pocket computer in my case) that are on their way both running Linux under the hood.  I love how this OS is permeating the market and no one even really knows it.  Tivo’s, Archos, Android handsets, Palm Pre, n900…it’s really all over and no one even knows it.  Dare I say that eventually the Microsoft Mobile OS’s, iPhone’s, and Symbian’s of the world will become the minority in the mobile handset world.  Linux will in one form or another dominate.  It’s inevitable.

Just when I thought the Nokia N900 was the uber-phone to beat all phones…Motorola releases something that should give it quite a good run for the money.  This thing looks sweet.  Even has a bigger screen and better resolution than the N900.  I honestly thought about canceling my pre-order for the N900 once I started reading more about the Droid, but I have a better plan.
