[*]MPlayer[*]MH Shot Tool

I believe the porter/creator of those apps do work for Nokia.

(MH = Maemo Hackers, inz works for nokia iirc and works on osso-xterm too)

Mplayer is Ed Bartosh and Siarhei Siamashka. Ed Bartosh's profile says he works for Nokia and I believe Siarhei Siamashka/Serge/ssvb does too.

Leave the diverse user-space experience to the community, who isn't encumbered by stupid corporate nonsense. Let Nokia put together the platform which all of this is built upon.
Hear hear. Or is it "here here". Whatever. I agree.

  • mYTube
  • Advanced Brightness Settings applet
  • Large Statusbar Clock
  • Leafpad
I've used some (most) of those and they are for the most part very nice apps, but "must haves"? Of your list MPlayer is the only one I currently have installed. And I continue to enjoy using my N800 anyway.

Edit: I anticipate putting Numpty Physiscs and Maemo Mapper, and probably MyTube back on the device, once the OS upgrade is completed, if they still work then. Whenever the upgrade happens..

I think that's in line with my original rant

Yeah, except the platform tends to then have the problems that you mentioned.

BTW, the logo submissions so far are looking good!

There are some good submissions, yes. Of course the rest aren't...

Yes, I think most of us would agree to that; and we could probably start a flame war over which ones are in which category... Anyone game?

I like the butterfly and moebius concepts from atilla and jussi: they're strong concepts which also have nice realisations. I think the butterfly could do with a more stark implementation, though, as at first glance it just looks a bit cartooney until you go "oh, butterfly!" (or it's pointed out to you).

This firming up of the branding, and the emphasis on the maemo.org community is all good stuff, though.
