Newbie list of apps
 

Hi there! Newbie posting here, recent owner of an N800 trying to compile a list of the best apps available for OS2008.

Here's what I've got, and I'll surely appreciate all recommendations:

Email --> Modest & Claws Mail (I already used Claws on my laptop, but the port seems... clunky)
Music --> XMMS (really needs a trayer, though)
Video --> Mplayer (coming from a Linux user it's no surprise, I'd prefer VLC, though)
Chat --> pre-installed app & Pidgin
Organizer --> Osmo (it rules)
Notes --> Xournal (what a surprise, I hated the desktop version) and MaemoPad+
FTP --> MaemoFTP (gFTP's port doesn't cut it)
Screenshots --> Maemo Screengrabber
E-book reader--> FBReader

What else do you guys recommend?

Screenshots --> LoadApplet

i have been using streamtuner everyday, which has an extensive choice of internet radio stations. also i use the
weather applet.

Battery status
Wifiinfo
GPE suite as an alternative
Maemomapper w/GPS purchase
Gnumeric
Password safe
Doc reader

Where did you find osmo for 0s2008?

Nice, keep 'em coming :D

I found Osmo --> here <--

It was actually the first app I came looking for here (Google Search, find forum, install Osmo... register :P)

BTW, no wanting to OT too much and just asking... Is there a way to change where the Contacts --> Email app links to. I've uninstalled the default email client and would like that to start Modest, instead.

ScummVM provided you have a large collection of old PC games to run on it.

ive just installed streamtuner, great addition to the internet radio on the tablet. i see there is a recording facility on streamtuner but how do you use it? when i press the record button a menu comes up and says i havent set a command! err, i'm not that advanced yet!

Re: Newbie list of apps
 

Thanks again for the suggestions!

I've added a few of these to my "catalogue" and added... the Quake port. I was completely surprised with the fact that it runs beautifully on my N800!

Doc Reader is a must-install, too. I already had Antiword installed, but the N800 is the only machine I'd rather have some output on a GUI app than on a terminal.

Wifiinfo was also a good addition, as was ScummVM. I'll soon find out if it plays Full Throttle. If it does, I'll be all set, after having installed Monkey Island there, too :P

Other than nano, I'm really missing a good GUI text editor. I know Leafpad was around for OS2007, but I can't seem to find it for OS2008. At least the files I tried didn't install properly.

Keep 'em coming :D

Re: Newbie list of apps
 

Music: Kagu
Dictionary: Sdict
IM: Pidgin
VOIP: Gizmo (or Skype)
Images: Quiver
Word Processors: might want to add Leafpad?
Paint program: Tux Paint (Can't use mtpaint or whatever it was??)

VNC
lybniz or mathjinni
GCalculator (or is is Galculator?)


That is about all I have to add.
