I would wait for new Application Manager and see what's in it. http://blogs.igalia.com/vjaquez/2009...nning-new-ham/

The list of enhancements is pretty interesting... I like the "live search support", I was waiting for it.

Together with http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/1...ras-assistant/ there should be no more wishes, right? ;-)

[Under consideration] Improving App-Manager: download/Install basket
 
Would it be possible to only select the apps we want to install in app manager and then, click "install all" when we've finished browsing?

Here's the link to the "enhancement" in bugzilla so futher firmwares may contain this fix by default: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601
And a link to branistorm, suggestions welcome: http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...ll_basket-002/

5. Installing apps is unbelievably frustrating. You would think anything would be an improvement over the Symbian method of installing apps, but Maemo is not, currently. For one, you can’t install more than one app at a time. On my Android-powered Eris (with Android v1.5), when I click to install an app, it does so in the background, so I can keep browsing. On the N900, not only does it require the full attention of the device, but after the install finishes, it dumps me back at the top of the list, so I have to flick my way all the way back to where I was. There’s also no way to browse the App…market? by recently added apps. This means, on the device, I have no way of knowing what has been added since I last went app shopping. It’s just really frustrating.
This is a rant from someone who hasn't touched symbian for a while now but still he/she is right!
An option for more comfortable installs should be added.

Cheers

Re: Installing applications one by one is frustrating: download/Install basket
 
good idea ;)

the same thing would be great in the uninstall-window too :)
select all apps you want to uninstall and then perform the action with only one click.
