Re: System & Utilities Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
There are great programs in this category too, but for me also a clear winner. It tells something that I used one of those applications to install some of the other applications I still had not installed earlier. Faster application manager is really really good piece of software!

Re: System & Utilities Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
