how do i install N800 applications? im collecting them up now so that when i get my N800, i can install them. How do i do that? do i install them iwthin the N800 itself? or do i have to do it thru PC or what?

and i'm using Vista. Do i hafta use Linux or does it matter at all?

You install them on the device itself, by clicking a "click to install" link, opening an app.install file from the file manager (on the device) or installing a .deb file. Some of the more advanced or more beta programs will have specific install instructions which you should follow.
