I guess I don’t get the point of buying a smartphone if it doesnt have access to the most possible apps What good would it do to be built around those OS’s if their options for apps run around a calculator and clumsy office apps?

That depends on the buyer. None of uses more than 1% of what is available. I REALLY like FileMaker Pro, which means iOS. However, Apple limits app publication that competes with their own products (e.g. email clients). But a whole lot of what I want to do simply has to do with moving data around that I use on the home machine, as I am NOT phone centric. iTunes interface does NOT cut it for moving files around. In the case of a touch Linux, the assumption would be that the existing desktop apps could be easily repackaged or even run as is.
