There is difference between read support Office and read/write support Office. Read support is a must for most folks.
What I want is not too many applications which do approx same thing, but reusing of libraries and such instead, and consistency.
I'd love good sync & management like iTunes/iCalendar, and a good deal for Nokia Maps.
Anyway, good VPN client supporting wide range protocols and remote desktop and command line tools is my #1 thing.

You should see it from the eyes of one who has used for years the s60 browser. Coming to microb or tear might be a shocking experience. You have a real browser, and you don't need any more those "widgets" that call themselves apps.
Maybe Iphone owners will see the light, too.

N-Gage games would be a must.
There are over 100 games on download section of this site for OS2008, but how many of them are working in OS2009 or Maemo 5?

Personally, I do not want any of these programs.
I do not even want any proprietary software.
But I agree to pay for a Free and Open Source Software.
Or for a copy, or by donations.

This is very true for most apps that are connected to a website, such as popular iPhone apps like Urbanspoon and banking websites, the RX-51 should be able to handle them easily. The only issue is the small screen eg. 4.2 inches was pushing it for Facebook and now 3.5 will be even worse.
Hopefully some useful extensions will come out/be ported over from firefox.
For me, this has been the biggest advantage the NIT's have over other devices...
I have been disappointed that more discussion, shared code, tricks, etc. are not posted on this forum. I mean HTML and its variants on NIT's truly are "code in your hands". Anyone with a desktop browser that can save pages as text files has the SDK and with a simple text editor can start making changes.

I'm beginning to use the one built into Vista/IE, and I think as long as Maemo has a similar experience, I'll be ok.

I'm not a big Firefox guy, but Fennec on a mobile should be exciting. Why didn't Nokia go with a Webkit browser for Maemo instead, though?

About widgets, gadgets, or whatever their are named (nice article about them), Nokia already has some experience on this, like Opera. And these apps doesn't need to be fulltime connected to a website, so they can extend internet/web experience in disconnected environments. So yes, I think some kind of standard runtime evironment should be included ;-)

* free (free binary)

I would pay for maemo port of introversion games (defcon & uplink).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
Open or Free software doesn't mean that they must cost $0
