Well, regardless of man hours available to maemo 5 maintenance at Nokia, I'm sure there are far more important issues than a slightly sluggish application manager, that is the best out there on any mobile device. I think, if there was one thing I could have fixed/improved/developed for the N900, it'd be .. PDF reader (I want it to be more Maemo 5 and less Maemo 4) and the media player (I want playlist editing to be better, home widget fixed etc)

That said, I'm working on an app for playlist creation myself. So that wouldn't bother me as much if the freakin' desktop widget worked
