U might think it's hilarious but I think it's sensible to bypass an app after research that determines that the app might only be problematic, cause other problems, or leave orphan junk files around after it is uninstalled.

What bothers me is that there's not much commercial level 3rd party software for the N810 (unlike the iPhone/iPod touch). What would make me feel better is if the open source movement had a simple two-tier classification system: 1. Ready for mainstream use (commercial level, NOT EVERLASTING BETA SOFTWARE). 2. Under development (not ready for commercial use). The decision to put a piece of software in category 1 or 2 could be made by a panel of open source luminaries (whoever that may be).

I wish, when browsing threads in these forums, there was a simple two-tier classification system for posts: 1. Worthy Posts; Helpful threads, interesting news, or genuine questions about software and/or hardware, and 2. Trolls and Whiners; Includes "Why I bought another device" posts, "This Sucks" posts, posts that ask for a feature or piece of software but title the thread like it was an announcement, and posts that ask questions couched in nasty, negative, or argumentative language. The decision to put a post in category 1 or 2 could be made by a panel of forum luminaries, whomever that may be.

Don't you idiots get it!? I am a user who is really trying to appreciate a device that I basically love and think is superior. But the current state of 3rd software won't let me!

to mobiledivide:
I installed GPE Calendar and I must admit it does everything that I want and more and has a lot of functionality that I can't figure out yet (I guess I'll try to find a manual as there's no help function). But in true open-source style, after two minutes it hung my complete system requiring a hard reset. It has display problems and response to user input problems, which sometimes require the app to be restarted. But it is usable. But I'm still not sure if it is a keeper or another irritation that will cause me to make more negative posts here.
