AFAIK, ITOS2006 does not support one-click installs, which is why all the ".install" arrows are grayed out.

EDIT: P.S.: The "N770" does NOT exist. It is a Nokia 770 and not part of the Nokia N-Series. This might cause confusion to new users.

Who said so ?
I installed many packages directly from install.
You click install , wait and in Application manager appears a window with option - Install and a name of an application.
It worked fine.

So what makes N-Serie, OS , memory card, applications ?
N770 is an excellent piece of hardware. Excellent aluminium case.
Excellent screen.

That's my understanding too... one-click install was not supported in OS2006. But if you are running OS2007HE on your 770 then one-click install should work.

I think it would be a good idea to have one-click installs for OS2006 apps anyway, because some of them will run on OS2007 and OS2008 where a one-click install *is* possible.

But someone has to create those one-click install files, and that is probably why they aren't there for all apps yet.

If you are worried about the 770 upgrade to IT2007 hacker edition and you will be able to install more apps. Its a little less stable and slower but its got more apps and looks much better than IT2006.

I use 1-Click installs all the time on my 770, which runs OS2006. The download just opens the App manager and Robert is your mothers brother...

Well thanks for that info, I didn't know that. But then I only just started using these things last month, so history is not my strongest subject.

Hmm, my bad then sorry -- I haven't used OS2006 for a long while (and I said "As far as I know" in my post!) As for the N-Series question, ask Nokia why they didn't include the 770 in their N-Series lineup. I could not care less (that part was not meant to be offensive) about the capabilities of the 770. If Nokia did not officially include it in their N-Series, then it is not part of it. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

EDIT: Just in case this gets across the wrong way: I love all three Internet Tablets, and firmly believe the 770 is a pioneer in its own right. Still, it is probably the case that Nokia thought it was too immature (and in some ways, they were probably right) to include it as part of its flagship N-Series, a move that was thankfully corrected when the N800 came out.
