How can you guys install applications for N900 via PC? Because I downloaded applications from my laptop.
Either way, you need to transfer them to your N900 for installation.
The most straightforward way actually is to install applications from the App Manager or go to the Ovi store from the N900.
And how can you delete downloaded application in app manager, not the installed applications.

What is the file extension of the applications that you downloaded onto your laptop? .install or .deb?

to uninstall apps you need to go to app manager and make "uninstall" than select program you want to uninstall. also if you installed without app manager you have to try apt-get (just type it like that and it would give you all commands and descriptions it has) or dpkg (same here)

Welcome,
is there any way to install apps from maemo.org other then using n900 to downloand it?
Is it possible to downloand it via pc (under Windows 7 or XP), then copying it on n900 and installing?
The problem is that i dont have my mac adress added to my ISP and it is costly to do it and i can't connect to the internet and downloand things, and via phone prowider it is costly. The perfect way would be to downloand via pc, copy everything to n900 and install it. Is it possible? Because i cant find full packages on the site, only install ones. and going to hot spots just to install things isnt it. And other thing is changing mac adress, is it posibble to do it? In n95 there was an option in wifi confiuration. Then i could shut down my pc and connect via phone. But easier for me is to downloand things and copy than change the mac.

The problem with that is dependency. One piece of software that you want could have 20, 30, 160, dependencies. If you download and do it by hand you'll be downloading all 160 (definitely an extreme case...) by hand.
You can download the deb's from maemo.org: http://maemo.org/packages/
Search for a package, drill into the one in the repository you want (extras, devel, or testing) and then download the "File: package.deb".
Once you try to install it; it will error on you saying it "requires" a whole list of other software, which you will then have to download one by one; and then each of those will require their dependencies.. etc.
Your BEST option is actually either setting up a Wifi Ad-hoc and using ICS (windows) or Firestarter (Linux) to setup internet sharing... or doing USB Networking.
