If everybody is going to rant about missing his favorite application, I will say that I really miss IQnotes, which I used a lot on the Zaurus...

All these features are already available on the 770 with Python, PyGtk and pyGame.

Mmmm I beg to differ. I would still bet that 99% of app development is happening in the niche. 15 year olds armed with mommy's credit card are more likely your 'mainstream' customers and I doubt many know the first thing about development.

I installed the early, non-maemo packages with the dpkg -X method (see Privoxy HOWTO in the Wiki), but I think they have released proper 770-compatible packages since.

Exactly. They're buying XBOX 360s - - not developing for them 
(I have a modded XBOX and aside from the media center and some other apps, there wasn't a lot of home-brew software out there for it).

The Community Braintrust for the 770 is just now ramping up.
1) The toolsets are still being developed.
2) People are still poking and prodding this thing. There are a lot of "ah-ha' moments going on all around..
This product is very early in it's life, no one is (or should) be arguing otherwise. As our numbers grow, and the toolsets mature along with their documentation, and the poking and proding gets documneted, the quantity and quality of apps will get better.
