are you kidding me? Maemo is essentially a stripped down debian. You can basically install Debian as a Maemo app which gives access to thousands of applications including things like openoffice.

Im sure you can install a lot of apps... but how many are actually going to be useful for a mobile phone? Androids app market is pumping out lots of awesome specifically tailored apps at 100mph, and it will only increase as it cements itself as the top phone OS over the next couple of years. Maemo is going to get nowhere near this level of dedicated support.
