Still, to get back to the OP's point, is Electronic Arts developing Command and Conquer Red Alert for the N900? Is Gameloft doing an N900 version of Asphalt 5 or Dungeon Hunter?
If you get your jollies with SSH, more power to you. But I would be more than happy to buy games that were worth paying for. When a phone and data plan can run $1000+ over the course of the year, $10 is chump change. Sure free is better, but, then again, a free phone would be better too. Sometimes, though, you get what you pay for.

And I think most developers would rather spend more time on implementing more functionality (or fixing bugs) rather than making a nice GUI.
... of course developing an app and designing a pleasing user-interface for that app do involve two different skill sets ... we have a large and varied community here though, and hopefully with input from different individuals we can cover the necessary skills ...

EmmaGx, yes that is ideal. Already we do have people that design mockups and icons. But I think the issue is it also takes time to make a (nice) looking GUI in code.
One thing I do credit Apple with is that they do help alot in their SDK. I think even some things are done for you (which may explain why some things look similar).

Maybe people will stop trying to compare an out-of-the-box given N900 to an iPhone that has to go through a warranty-breaking and possibly illegal procedure.

And besides, "iPhone quality" apps isn't as misleading as some of you would seem to say.
I'd kill for some apps to show up on the N900 that are on the iPhone. Not a lot of them, perhaps 5... but I'd love for those apps to show up.

We need to take into consideration that you can throw away a big chuck of apps from the iStore becasue they're just widgets the N900 can do out of the box in the web browser
