Application name:
BackupMenu (system image utility)
Author: robbiethe1st
Description
: An application which allows you to make full backups of the RootFS(OS), and OptFS(extra programs), and then restore said backups. These backups(at least the RootFS ones) are also compatible with Nokia's Flasher utility, so you can restore directly, if you manage to make your N900 not even boot.
Do note that this is a bootloader-based application(backup not possible with the full OS running), so you have to reboot the N900 to use it.
Screenshots:
Features:
-Runs at bootmenu-level; this allows RootFS to be unmounted and backed up.
-Backup full images of RootFS and OptFS
-RootFS Images compatible with Flasher
-Restore images, either or both
-Checksum of all images on backup and restore
-Save files to MyDocs or SD card
-No command knowledge needed
Extra features:
-Terminal access for fixing stuff(advanced)
-FSCK ability
-Extended USB Mass Storage mode that exposes OptFS.
How to install:
Install 'backupmenu' from 'extras-devel'
Or download it manually here:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/backupmenu/
How to use:
Reboot the N900 with the keyboard open.

Brief description:
qexecise is a program ment to be your brain at the gym. Why bother to think what exercise you should do, what set your at, how much time you have left on your rest between sets and not to mention remember what weight you had on that specific set last time you did that exercise? This is what qexercise is all about! It also include (for now) a simple calories/carbohydrate/protein/fat counter for you to keep track on how much you eaten while on a diet.

Scout
Author: Nicolai
Description:
Scout - Search Contacts, Conversations and Calendars.
You can search for text your contacts (names, nicknames usernames, addresses or phone numbers).
Calendar entries (events, tasks, notes)
And any text in your conversations.
An example is shown in the screenshot for searchtext "test".
The search result category is indicated by the different icons
on the left side (contacts, calender, sms). I use two different
kind of icons for sms and chat conversations and for each
two different icons (with and without the blue arrow)
to distinguish received and outgoing messages.
Selecting a search result has different actions:
-opens a contact details dialog for contacts
-opens the calendar app for calendar entries (agenda view)
-opens a new window with the full message text for
conversations.
