Your DreamRemote is not such a surprise if you think about it. Consider the number of votes you got to be the number of people owning a Dreambox on this forum Judging just from the screenshots and description it must be a wonderful app to have if you own one.

A file manager, don't know... I realized I normally don't use it much either. The default one sucks so badly that I think people learned to live without one. And what you usually need is scp which case can't do yet anyway. But once (if ever, too bad the project is stalled atm.) there is USB OTG, everyone will want a FM to copy stuff to flash disks and back...
File Manager... I have to use XTerm in at least 50% of cases, you are right.

Good File Manager would attract me, if it supported Bluetooth File Transfer Profile (a phone is a server, N900 is a client, I browse files on phone from N900 and copy some of them to N900).
The phone can browse contents of N900 and claims to have Bluetooth FTP server. Why cannot N900 browse contents of the phone? And don't confuse it with File Transfer Protocol.

App Manager: default one makes me to wait for many seconds until dialog appears. And then it says: "Incompatible package". And then I go to XTerm.
How can Faster Application Manager be made the default app manager?
So that I could install everything in it.
And how can I add an application catalogue with local path (a local directory on N900 instead of Internet)?

TweeGo. I don't use Twitter (at all; I don't have an account). But the people who do, surely use it so often, that they need a comfortable interface for it, not a slow browser.

Best wishes to all, whether they win or not. If number of votes isn't 0, the application is surely useful, at least to some people.
