I think far wider audiences than just commandline-guru-server-admin-types will appreciate the N900.

I can show you an entire crew that would love a MySpace app on the N900 or Symbian device. For instance, check out my artist's little brother, T-Real, a local rap artist himself. He's not signed, but through MySpace, he's making real cash, and uses social networks to get his hustle on. He's like most artists on MySpace, using it and Facebook as well as others lilke Twitter, UStream, and even Google Voice!
http://www.myspace.com/trealusa
He's only like 19, and has done a few videos, does multiple shows weekly, and buys gadgets like snack cakes. People aren't aware of how popular MySpace is with the urban minority music artist, or how much we hate Facebook.
And for the record, MySpace isn't millions of people, but HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.

I'm still not even remotely sure what a Myspace app should even do (if we ignore the social networking part of it). If we look at Myspace as purely a place for music and look at it from that context... what should a Myspace app do exactly that the web browser doesn't allow us to do already?
Should it upload music? Allow direct playing of your favorite bands bypassing the randomly broken flash player? What are you looking to do with it exactly?
Also, no, I don't think you should be saying that devs shouldn't be coding for what they choose to. It's their time. If you want someone to work on Myspace stuff, either find people that want to do it or get Myspace to hire people to work on it.

Facebook and twitter will eventually disappear. It’s the kind of hype that has no real purpose. If we try to see with some distance they have something of idiotic. On the opposite myspace has some real interest for many people.

Myspace is pretty much a dead service at this point.
So I'd say Myspace is very important to at least one very large sector of people, yes.
Edit- and facebook is an unnecessarily complicated, stupid annoying application ridden load of rubbish. I have to have a band page as well as a normal page and it mashes the whole lot onto my screen so I can't tell what's what. Hopeless unless you're a bored teen imho.

Pixelpipe works with tumblr already, at least for photos. I don't know what other data they accept, so not sure on the rest.

Also view member profiles and their status, mood, and emoticon, comments, friends list, stream their playlists, playlists, and view and comment on their images.
I can conjure up a UI model and get Josh to maybe help do the actual designing. I want to know how much work does this sound like, does it sound feasible, and how can I help?

You may be able to post more than just photos, too. They have tons of support for lots of services, at least they did on Symbian.
