That’s a really nice idea.

That too. I guess, the original testing plan (10 votes, testers follow the same rigid protocol as their paid counterparts at Nokia) has been somewhat idealistic. Personally, I vote for any app that works for me, and think that lowering the threshold to 5 votes should be fine.
Sometimes one vote of "I've checked it thoroughly" is worth more than ten of "Works for me".

If you think that changing fro 10 to 5 would not hurt quality I would vote for it.
But we need to be aware that now maemo it’s not just a geek device. The average Joe doesn’t want is phone ruined by some bad app.

******** Bingo 0.3
MooBox 1.2
FriendStatus IM Statuses Aggregator 0.6-1
Free42 HP calculator 1.4.40-maemo2
More app. The total is now 51.
Definitely the release process has slow down.
It would be nice to have at least 100 applications available when the N900 hit the stores. This will be a crucial point for the future of maemo.

Not the right forum really but is anyone else interested in seeing a version of mind node for n900? Just sent an email asking if they would consider it, although I doubt it as it's for mac.

Great app for lectures and and meetings

We have now 55.
MaStory 2.0-2
Downloads now direct you now to maemo5, so no one will see the 492 app from maemo 2008. Just 55 applications is just ridicule. The phone is selling on the stores and this will be probably the major critic for reviewers. Extras has more (not much) but no one goes there.

I wish someone could explain the app-quantity thing to me. I was browsing Maemo Select and am thrilled with the app selection there. All I want are:
Skype
Evernote
and a PIM (built in)
As mentioned before, most of the iphone apps are just fronts for websites.
I think people are way too hung up on apps really. In the future, if you complain about apps, please tell us which app you really need to have.
