Being a newbie to this forum (mainly due to the N900) and thinking this is the main community for the Maemo OS (be it 4, 5 or 6) where all developers reside.

What i would like to know is what applications can we look forward to when the N900 is officially available.

In other words who is working on updating / making an app available for the N900 and what is the app.

It would be nice to know which apps we can look forward to.

thanks.

I'm working on getting scdataviz finished, and making gnumeric work on it (and updating the port).

Reggie,

thanks for the link i browse it everyday for latest updates, however my understanding is it gets updated once the app is complete.

the direction i propose for this thread is for apps which developers are working on but people are not aware of.

2 reasons

1 - people can see what apps are in the pipeline

2 - could prevent a lot of "... that app is available for the Iphone but not for the N900"

i made some initial work porting Stellarium, but since the device is not out yet, i don't know if there will be any usable port. At least in scratchbox it is painfuly slow!

If somebody would donate an N900, I'd be more than happy to work on many apps!

I'd love to get mSideShow on one.

What's "scdataviz"? Is that related to Dataviz's Documents To Go program?

Your app may breath new life, and find new uses for N800's and 810's. Keep up the good work and hang in there. A lot of folks wont even know what Sideshow is until after October 22.

I hope to use your app with a new Nokia Booklet 3G soon and will give plenty of feedback then... and btw, if you happen to to see a couple of donated N900's, could send one my way please.

And Kalim13 welcome aboard...
A preview of community developed/ported software that is in the works for the N900 can be found
...in the extras-testing QA queue.

According to qgil
When an app/update gets karma >10 then it's considered stable and good for end users
.

...but regard.

Only official Nokia or stable repositories from maemo.org should be installed by the average end user. 3rd party repositories and repositories and catalogues with “eval”, “evaluation”, "test", "testing", “devel”, or “developer” in their name should be avoided by the average end user as the software they contain may:

-Fill memory because they ignore recommendations for installing big files in the internal memory. (read more)

-Significantly shorten use times because the widgets or apps do not take advantage of proper power management techniques.
