Will most of the n810 applications work on the n900? In particular I want to use the GPE suite of calendar, contacts, and todo. Will they all work on the n900?

I think GPE will be pretty much obsolete since we have proper PIM on the N900.

Some will run right away, most will be ported trivially. But a proper port and updated UI is always preferable.

Does the N900/Maemo 5 come with a ToDo app? I've only seen Contacts and Calendar.

Yes. It's called "Tasks" and it's accessed through the Calendar app.

Ah cool. Has anyone seen any screenshots or videos of this? In fact, thinking about it, I've seen hardly any videos of the Calendar app at all.

The app I would be most concerned about having running on Fremantle that is currently OS2008 only is the HAVA Mobile Player - I'm not sure how quickly they plan on updating it, and I use it all the time!

Would there be any expected issues with that app in particular? Thanks!

Hmm, as far as I can tell you can't sync (using a free-software chain) using the new PIM. Seems only windows users matter here (activeSync). So GPE may be the only way to have a free software PIM chain with a linux desktop?

Or have I missed some hidden message and the new PIM will sync with a linux desktop?

Interesting thing is, Garnet VM runs on my n900

Theres the usual error while installing the package (that maemo-select-location doesnt exist) but it adds to the menu and seems to run ok, although ive only done minimal testing.

I think the maemo-select-location thing can be fixed by rebuilding the deb without that command in the postinst.

Im not sure if palm apps will install correctly though, the ones ive tried say they installed but dont appear in garnet....
