So, I am not alone in my frustration at these endless 'red herrings'? Thanks for bringing it up richie and debernardis.

What gives? They have been promoting these, for a while now. UKMP appears on the Nokia site as the #1 "Featured" download? Or how about KAGU? It even shows up as an 'installable application' on the N800 and they are calling it a "PEARL" at MAEMO?

Yet, after many failed efforts, if one looks at the 'details' of each, it says "uninstallable".

If they are in fact not ready, pre Beta or otherwise, they shouldn't even be appearing in the main 2007catalog in the first place, let alone present, as utterly uninstallable or corrupted file or whatever.

Apologies for my tone, but gosh a lot of the software is like that.
As a Palm user migrating over slowwwwwly, this is very discouraging. I am no 'noobie' but I am not a command line programmer either. They really need to pick up their game otherwise this wonderful piece of hardware is just a mere toy with meager functionality.

ion ends rant. Have a happy day!
