What are you waiting for on 2008?
I love the new OS. I hesitated to install it until more software was available but I did it anyhow. All the really critical items from 2007 are available, but there are a few I am still looking for.
Here is my list. What are you waiting for? Scite Text editor. // I'm slowly working on this myself Notecase. // I may switch to another note tool if I don't see it soon. Support for my iPaq bluetooth keyboard. // Most bt keyboards work A2DP support Idea app launcher Abiword Printing Xournal the Tuner app sDict Grisbi financial software gconf Faint image editor Evince That isn't much considering my initial list. |

I've upgraded but am still awaiting mplayer to be back in business playing divx stuff well.

Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
i'm considering an upgrade, and i've made a list of programs i use. One thing i can't seem to find is nicotine or another comparable p2p app for os2008. am i wrong?

Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
A fully functioning reliable Skype.
|
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
"am still awaiting mplayer"
It s already available in the extras-devel repository |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
Evince is critical to me. I love that app.
|
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
Notecase and Skype
The latter doesn't work at all for me. A lot of little apps that were fun on the N800 look like they won't make it on to the 2008 os. For example, Maemo Stars Pan (or something better, for newsgroups) A good peer-to-peer sharing program. (yes, we have a torrent program, but it doesn't seem the same) Eboard or Xboard (the main chess program isn't much use, if you ask me, and I'm a lifelong chess fanatic) |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
Abiword
Gnumeric Videocenter |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
SSH and Vnc. These are a must have for me. When I see them is when ill upgrade. Hopefully soon ;)
|
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
- Eboard (Chess client)
- a Clock in Statusbar - as applet the clock is only a nice gimmick - ssh server / vnc server - a stable skype version |

There are a couple options for status-bar applet clocks right now, probably the best is the osso-statusbar-cpu, which is available for OS2008 right now. |

PenOffice.

Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
I need Wayfinder to allow authentication of the Navkit serial numbers.
As soon as they start... I can load and use OS2008. Otherwise I have to stay OS2007... I need the routing stuff in the GPS software. The OS2008 software without the navigation is kind of useless. You can see where you are. Woopdi doo. |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
- Japanese support (CJK), yesterday I checked the status and looks promising
- gjiten (japanese dictionary) - granule (flash cards) - evince (is a much better PDF reader than the default one) |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
I would like the brightness levels the same as they were in OS2007.
maybe the N810 goes lower with the sensor, but the N800 needs one more lower setting. |

Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
Abiword, please...
Any Isilo reader Evince Skype Canola 2 :D |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
1 - Leafpad... because Maemopad doesn't wrap, Notes utility has been crashing (internal application error) and mangling/truncating/losing "formatted text" files, and PyGTK doesn't allow font choosing.
My eyes are really bad, so I need a simple text editor with selectable font. Leafpad worked great for me on my 770, but won't install on the 810. 2 - sDict viewer (or ANY good German-English looker-upper!) |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
1) fix so you can type passwords on the full-screen keyboard. That was the most visible problem to me when I tested the system itself
2) general availability of apps. Most of the apps I use have been ported, but it's early yet. I admit I'll really miss Video Center; it was nice to be able to just click and download videos (and I rather liked Textra). 3) Removal of "beta" from the system. I'm really liking the N800 and though I'll test beta apps, I'm depending on it so much I'm loathe to put an untested system on it permanently. |

Claws Mail does the job for me on all of my IMAP accounts, including Google, just fine... What is it about 'Modest' that is so special? |

The interface seems cleaner and easier to navigate without having to whip out the stylus constantly. (My only complaint regarding Claws Mail). Luckily, I now have my used everyday 'production' N810 that I am reasonably "careful" with, and a "now to be used/played with, with abandon 'test' " N800... I will have to install the current build see for myself.. :-) |
Re: What are you waiting for on 2008?
abiword, evince and rapier.

Instead of more half-baked ports I'd rather see in os2008: - integration of the existing apps - usability of the gui taken to iphone level - out-of-the box synch possibilities |
