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'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?

A fully functioning reliable Skype.

"am still awaiting mplayer"

It s already available in the extras-devel repository

Evince is critical to me. I love that app.

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)

Abiword
Gnumeric
Videocenter

SSH and Vnc. These are a must have for me. When I see them is when ill upgrade. Hopefully soon ;)

- Eboard (Chess client)
- a Clock in Statusbar - as applet the clock is only a nice gimmick
- ssh server / vnc server
- a stable skype version
