As for the N900 app, It was never officially released; it got caught up in QC Hell @ Nokia due to some insignificant memory leak, or something equally mundane (It's been a while now and I don't remember exactly what it was) and after patching and resubmitting (and generally never being able to consistently reproduce QC's bugs) too many times to remember, decisions were made to not devote any more time to the (ever-aging) N900 platform, focusing on the upcoming platform which would later be the N9, which at the time promised the potential of more eyes on the product.

I was always proud of the N900 app, simple as it was, and was sad that it never "officially" was released. There were a couple of promotional videos that were released showing it off and it seemed a shame to me that it never saw the public release I thought it deserved, as I worked very hard on it.
