Oh and if you figure out the whole .deb thing, let me know.
And that is a serious problem which should be addressed! Without an easy way to develop applications, Maemo will never be as iPhone for example.

Without a successful application repositories, the platform will not be as seen as viable by phone manufactures and it will pretty much die out.

I will keep trying cos the applications I want/need are just things to make my everyday life easy. Like an app to manage finance, game scores, shopping lists with auto alarm reminders etc... I would even dare release anything into public domain until I am very comfortable with the coding!

EDIT:: Oh and I think .deb are essentially exe equivalent for linux... or something like that!
