That was my point but again i am misunderstood. You can't compare a pc with an arm device.
he didn't say phone but he was claiming that a phone was the ultimate hacking device. Now he is adding other devices whereas he was exalting the ultimate htc universal a few posts ago.

The HTC Shift is a PHONE, inside the main OS which is Windows Mobile you have all phone functions available. The whole point was that this PHONE morphs into a notebook device within a press of a button but it seems again you didn't check this information.

No one states the opposite. No one said the n900 is the one and only hack device. But htc universal is definitely cannot come close to what n900 can do.
having phone functions does not make that device a smartphone. then we should also call laptops that have telephony functions phones right? you cannot compare that with an arm based smartphone and again, booting lots of os's does not make a device ultimate hacking device. then i must be the ultimate hacker since i can boot pretty much anything that's based on x86 on my laptop. regarding htc hd2, as you said it has lots of vulnerabilites which nokia don't allow. But still that doesn't make it a ultimate hacking device. It depends on what you mean by hacking.

yeap you stated that they are pretty much the same. sadly, those statements were gone with a cleanup at this thread.
Base it on anything, Android multitasking is nowhere near maemo and meego. Floating windows, desktop modes or other mods does not prove the opposite. The farest place that android came (with superior hardware) in multitasking is the one that symbian did for almost a decade with very poor hardware.

Why? Because that is just a tablet, they use that only as a tablet, maybe as a phone they use a Lumia, or Samsung or why not even a Nokia 1100?

I've used an N900, seen it on action. me not owning one doesn't mean that i can't jump in and make comments. It's peoples choice wether or not to interfere regardless of what they own. And who based it on devices? Last i checked this community was about maemo and meego discussion. The devices that use those os's are 770, n800, n810, n900, n950 and n9. There are also alternatives and off topic section to the forum so people can talk freely about other stuff. Like we are doing right now. If you are implying that i'm against that you are making a mistake as you are wrong about those tablets.
