At Flors (Quim Gil's blog), there's this entry entitled "What the Nokia N810 means to maemo developers." It includes this:

But in fact one of the most interesting news for software developers and open source enthusiasts is not tied to the N810 or Chinook, although it's influenced by both. Maemo is from now on a supported platform in Forum Nokia.

This means a lot: Forum Nokia offers support to professional developers. This is what they do, and this is what maemo.org was/is not intended to do beyond community support.
I think this means we're going to start seeing a lot more professional -- er, commercial -- applications on the Internet Tablets.
Read the full article.

I myself would like to see commercial applications on the N810. Boingo is coming, and I got hints that some other partners are coming as well (no info on who they are though).

Client apps are key. I would like to see Slingmedia and Orb to create Maemo based clients. Blog clients too -- I hope something like Ecto can make it to Maemo. Social networking clients, Jaiku (Mauku), Twitter, etc.

I am all for the Nokia Forum.

Hopefully every commercial applications released for the tablets end up being released for the Linux desktop as well (eventually). Rhapsody has a better OS2007/8 client (the Linux client is just a browser plugin), there is no audio/video IM client on the desktop (note to Nokia: a port, pretty please? It'd pay for itself many times over)..

Sling Player would be cool. I have no need for Orb as long as it can only be hosted on Windows, though.

Kopete supports audio/video.

So, it works? i tried this afternoon to get my n800 to talk to kopete to no success so far...

I mean, it did chat, but no video, anything special to trigger it?
Do i need a web cam on the PC for it to trigger?
