Folks, let's chill out a bit

Read this tweet: http://twitter.com/JGallo02/status/6535746659

Nokia's currently running internal tests on Ovi Store 4 N900. It’s not live or open 2 downloads. An update will be coming soon
And said that, you can to install applications from that repository with apt-get. I'm not going to say how because is said in many places.

There are a lot of simple games and applications from offscr. What I find more interesting is that they are done with Qt.

Unable to download 'offscr-solitaire'. Application package not found

Expect lots more incomplete things. It should not be a surprise.
sorry my mistake. i know its expected that there are bugs to be iron out.

at first, i was confused as i thought the ovi store is the suite for the pc. found out the store was on the n900 (which still say coming soon on my phone).

A quite nice Rubik's Cube 3D game.

I don't know if this changed anything, but before using apt-get I did log into the URL above and tried to download the games from OVI Store - this did start the app manager and did add the OVI repository.

I guess without this the apt-get would not have found the packages.

Earlier in this thread there are manual instructions for adding the OVI repository too.
