I'm looking at the truest scotsman in the world right now.

I would, assuming you aren't counting rental services. Netflix isn't really the same thing. I'm referring to purchasing digital goods tied to an account.
> And I don't use an N900 to make a point; I use it because it does the things I want it to do better than anything else I've tried
Right...

Nope, I assumed you use an N900 or something similar the moment you said you didn't use an Android device. You seem like the type. I stand by my original comment, there are very few mobile apps published for MeeGo. I didn't say you utilized no mobile apps, I said a small handful. Still true. Hell, for MeeGo a handful might even be overly generous.
Gotta love the "run through and downvote everything I said" response because I was being honest. I guess a certain HN member is channeling reddit a little today.
Certainly wasn't me; users don't even have the ability to downvote replies to their own comments. I do find it surprising that someone would systematically downvote everything you said (and AFAICT systematically upvote everything I said in the process). I certainly don't think your comments need to disappear; mostly I'd say "I resemble that remark". :) I've upvoted them to compensate.
I realized after I posted it that the "certain person" remark made it sound like I was accusing you. I wasn't, I literally meant a certain person, as in some random other user.
Ahh, makes sense.
