@jurop: That's true. As I said, I may be alone in my opinion.

As an example of what I'm talking about, I currently use Sylpheed-Claws for my email. The packaged Maemo email app. would never fit my needs, and were it the only email app. for Maemo, I would not own an N900. The Sylpheed-Claws version for Maemo is -- as near as I can tell -- roughly as powerful as its desktop companion. If you haven't used Sylpheed-Claws, it is one of the most feature rich email clients for *nix. Nevertheless, I have an easy time using it on my N900, although I use a stylus.

As far as a task manager goes, I think many of the current apps. out there have sacrificed functionality for ease of "finger" use. I'd rather not see another task manager app. with just a few more features than what is currently available.

Coming from the Palm world, I've used applications, such as Bonsai, Project@Hand, MyBible, and Datebk6, that are as feature rich as what Task Coach offers, and I've found them easy to use. On the other hand,I am loathe to criticize open source efforts; however, I would say that I have been sorely disappointed with the simplicity of some apps. developed for for the Maemo platform.
