Outch, I just remembered I had ported a game I made for desktop for N900 in scratchbox before I even got the device. So, strictly taken, that was my first N900 app. Never released anywhere it though (for any platform). I had forgotten all about it...

It's time for some sleep, because the morning comes early with the arrival of the first two gladiators into the ring.. the "Desktop" and "Location & Navigation" categories!!
I wouldn't dare to edit the list myself then...

Kojacker, could you leave KitchenAlert and URPO out of the beginner's contest, (unless only previously released apps count as previous programming experience on N900)?


Edit:
I'm starting to realize that, if "hello world" app's are more than welcome to this competition, perhaps I should have counted the my 'picked up from a programming book' python script (of which I printed several copies while testing URPO ) and stuff like that as previous apps on N900. I just didn't think them as apps...

Perhaps those arranging possible next comp could learn from this: make very clear rules so fools like me would not cause a mess
