No, not yet. Does it have 10000+ apps? No, not yet. The possibility to extend the functionality of the phone from messaging and browsing to playing,... *YES*. - see this posting from Ari Jaaksi [http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2010/01/maemo-is-on-right-tracks-friday.html] ===== Just as we planned! The best browser ever, the best conversation view, the best social network integration, very good camera & imaging capabilities, good multimedia support --- and a crips and well working mobile phone. And -- as a true computer- open and upgradeable by end users: * Two firmware updates within a week. Over the air. Some glitches, mostly going well! * Application store with good stuff in it * MMS implementation coming in as an open source project (Frals, cool!!!). * In addition to basic applications, a lot of other very integrated features, such as the Firefox browser, MSN and other IM plugins, codecs etc available as downloadables.
