In this thread we recommends applications for the N800 (OS2008).
Post the best application(s) u know and write about it/them.

Application= Communications, Desktop Environment, Games, Internet, Multimedia, Office-Business, Security, Software Development, System, Text Editors, Travel and more.

Have a nice day!

Mplayer, for better video quality and more formats/codecs.
Canola, for an improved multimedia experience.
Camera, to make use of the camera.
Gnumeric spreadsheet, for brilliant spreadsheet compatibility with both viewing and editing.
Pidgin messenger, for Instant messaging on all accounts including msn.

Xournal - Great for writing small notes
GPE Calendar - Keeping track of your appointments

I think that just about covers the MUST HAVE applications... unless you have a grandcentral account, in which case:
Grandcentral Dialer - Easily make calls using grandcentral

Read my signatures ....

This is what I currently love using on my tablets:

Advanced Backlight - combines brightness and volume control in one applet and gives a very fine grained brightness control

Power Launcher - provides icons on the home screen for launching applications

maemo-pan - connects to the internet via cell phone with Bluetooth PAN (unfortunately no longer working out of the box on Diablo)

FB-Reader - THE eBook reader for the internet tablets

MediaBox - finger friendly snappy media player with support for a wide range of multimedia formats (through osso-media-server and mplayer) and, on the N800, FM radio


And if you're a developer or power user, there are two essentials:

becomeroot - enables "sudo gainroot" to become super user without the need to switch to R&D mode

openssh - log into the tablet from a computer, browse the filesystem via SFTP

Diablo Feature upgrade, obviously. It'll single-handedly update yoour tablet to the stability of a brick.

Here's a list I created for a fried of mine:

-T.

Wow! Thanks for heads up... I've read warnings elsewhere about the Diablo Feature Upgrade being a "bad thing," but since bricks seem to be extremely stable (as opposed to straw and sticks,) your recommendation just cinched it... I'm off to go stabilize my n800.
Thanks!

...oh! You meant both the stability and functionality of a brick. Well... at least it's stable now...
