I see. The new applications I installed are for the N900. I still use my N800, but there aren't many new applications coming there - that's true. This is often the case with older operating systems. In that sense PalmOS had a much longer legacy, most new applications were still m68k apps that could run on just about anything. Again, my point, look at what was done with virtually nothing to work with. This is why I am frustrated when developers tell me no on my request to see things happen on the 2008 OS. That would be like people who developed for Win 3.1 saying that Win XP doesn't have enough power!

For the existing N800 applications that I sometimes want a fix or update for I have to fix those myself, which I do. I use the original source, fix, rebuild and install. That's for 3party software, of course. I don't have to do this very often though, the last time I did this was to fix a BT problem with Maemo Mapper. OK, that ability would be nice to have

There are probably some developers out there interested in the kind of applications you would like to see, but I'm not sure how many -- I myself wouldn't want to do those on this platform, I prefer desktop-sized screens for those things. I understand but the popularity of the iphone and recently touch have proven that end users are finally showing a desire for this kind of mobile functionality.

hope the color coding makes sense, your quotes are the magenta, my responses are the green.
