Hi. I'm Sumana Harihareswara, a New York City resident.

I work for the British open source firm Collabora, and my bosses gave out N900s to everyone in the company. So I have a new N900 and am looking forward to making the most of it. I hope to help out with extras-testing, and I can't help but proofread everything I read so I'd like to help that way too.

Some personal recommendations for your device:

• On your desktop or laptop computer, whether you run Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, you can use the open source Miro video & audio podcatcher and the Miro Guide podcast directory to check out lots of podcasts, then export an OPML feed to give gPodder to subscribe to them on your N900 (instead of painstakingly using the gPodder interface + the web browser to manually enter RSS feeds one at a time).
  
• My spouse & I edited a sci-fi/fantasy anthology that's available in PDF and a bunch of mobile versions, including FBReader-friendly Plucker.
  
• My spouse invented the game robotfindskitten, which my colleague Thomas ported to Maemo 5.
  

I hope to find and test more apps and tools to recommend, and will blog about them or post about them here in talk.maemo.org.
