the procedure is different, the QA is more stringent, so extras will be populated slower. Weeks ? certainly not, but months vs years will depend on the general popularity of the N900

Thanks. It’s nice that there are a lot of things in development. One of the things that in my opinion fail in the maemo community it’s the graphics. In my opinion we should try to involve some supplementary designers.

their experience will not help the "older maemo.org people" in this case. circumstances are very, very different. it's more difficult to get apps to extras (quality control), there's serious alternatives (ovi store), otoh the device may soon attract a much higher number of users and developers than than the internet tablets did... anything can happen. counting apps in extras may remain an interesting thing to do.

Can someone help clear up something for me please?
Am I correct in thinking that only the apps at Ovi are n900 approved?
With extras and extras-testing, are there not risks installing these?
Im thinking specifically of the post I saw about someone filling their system partition up in a couple of days? I'm presuming that was becuase the apps were not n900 optimised??

After the release of the N900, it’s expectable to achieve the numbers of OS 2008 (490) in weeks, months or in years???
