Now then. N900 arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to it not being an iphone.
I have an N770 lying around not doing much these days as without the phone bit, it only served a few purposes. So with the phone bit, N900 looks awesome.

So, looking forward to a bit of tinkering with the N900 - I'm a programmer from a windoze vb/C# background, but mostly use php these days, and use Eclipse PDT for that.
I've been looking around the forums and site for pointers as to the best way to start developing for the N900, but all the information is a bit garbled. I appreciate there are many different opinions, but I guess we're suffering from the adaptability and power of the device - there are just too many options!
Choices choices.
1) Language: C would be too low level for me I think, and my C++ is rusty. Like the look of Python, I might try that.
2) UI dev. I know little of Tk, GTk and Qt, so no idea which way to turn on that aspect. Used to an easy UI editor in Visual Studio, or constructing CSS from PSDs for the web.

I'll keep you updated as to progress. Now where was that list of must have N900 apps....
