N900 apps are usually written with Gtk+, Hildon, or Hildonified Qt Widgets.
All this does not exist on the N9, so porting an app from N9 to N900 is often a lot easier than vice versa.

Thank you for pointing this out. It explains partly why few N900 apps have been ported to N9 but the the other part is still lack of developer interest to do so. Many Maemo5 developers have actually left the platform due to impotent rage with Nokia over the termination of Maemo5 and remain hostile to N9 as a bastardized child of Maemo and Moblin.

However the fact remains that the N900 has enjoyed a new lease of life with the coming of N9 with more apps and renewed community interest by association.

That may have something to do with it. And there's nothing wrong with it. N900 is obviously in many ways much less restricted than N9. This can put off many developers. And since we're talking about hobby developers doing the stuff for free, why would they use significant amount of time in porting to a platform that they are not excited about?

But I think the biggest practical reason is this: Many N9/N950 developers do not have N900, and many N900 developers do not have N9/N950. It's quite futile to try porting an application if you can't during development test that it works as intended.

Alternative Hotspot - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...37#post1199737

Apps privileges UI (maybe in the original applications manager details of an app to make it easier if it's possible) http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82564

These are things I'm really missing and would appreciate it if someone had time to make them.

i find f.lux very useful. it is available on mac, linux, windows and ios if jailbreaked.

* http://stereopsis.com/flux/ios.html
** makes reading things at night a lot more comfortable and less eye hurting.

of course it doens't need to be f.lux itself. maybe this could be included in the color profile settings we got with pr1.2?

I sent an email to FlightAware asking if they can port the app to N9. The response I got is useless as they literally told me to download the symbian app....
