And with apps.formeego.org still not working we have no centralized place to put the free apps anyway. To me it looks like the N9 will be available in shops before the community repo is up so nokia store might be the only way to install apps which sucks terribly. I don't want to be a party crusher, just saying so people know what to expect if you buy a N9 in the coming weeks.

Edit: Just to clarify, you can of course install packages manually with dpkg or clicking on them in the browser.
Thanks for the answer and I understand not being happy.

But don't throw a hissy fit like some angry child and sequester yourself away from public commentary and/or updates in a manner that makes the people that weren't picked to develop on the N950 and anticipating the Nokia N9 stay in the dark for the most part.

Just to sound my typical snarky way, just imagine that 200+ people were given N950's despite being angry at Nokia, they share very little (unless you know who to bug or where to look) and still are upset at Nokia... hell. Give me one, I would have turn evangelist if I had dedicated that much time to learning Qt Quick/QML and whatnot.

But I wasn't picked, so I await the N9.

So yeah... pissed off at Nokia is fine and dandy. Don't punish the people without the N950/N9. We're just a curious, 7000+ post in a thread reading group of folks that actually want the N9 and the N950 developers to bust out some incredible stuff.

Or it's to the OMAP4 Atrix 2 for me.
