That's interesting, what sorts of things do you use on the Zaurus that aren't available on the ITs?

Why not get a list of people who can and want to go and then vote for them?
It would be easier than just picking people at random

There was an old thread where many zaurus users had mentioned their favourite apps they would like ported to developed for the Nokia NIT

It's amazing how different perspectives can be.

There are more apps for the tablets than *I* will ever use.

There are more apps for the tables than I will ever use too, but there are still some that dont exist that i would like.
There are many more programs still missing.

Right, but again: that's perspective. I don't share yours... you don't share mine. On this subject anyway. ; )

Hey... there's a topic for a maemo speaker... :D

Re: 4. maemo.org: what next?
 
heheh - need a new thread for 'topics for speaker'!

So you don't share the perspective that there are applications that people want that don't exist?
I had a look at that zarus thread, and some of those programs are fairly trivial to impliment.
My 810 turned up today, so I guess I better get off my backside and put some effort into writing something instead of just whinging!

Ummm... not what I said. I mean your perspective that translates into need (or want, actually). I.e., I don't need all those apps. ;)

Dont know about apps, but certainly "there are more TV stations for the tablets than *I* will ever watch"

Sorry, cant help to throw in a quip about your comments, albeit, a cheap one :)

At the end I went the non-democratic way and decided to invite Sebastian Mancke, of JaLiMo fame. He is a professional developer and he is jumping also on OpenMoko and other Linux based platforms. It will be interesting to know how maemo looks in hi potential future. He is involved in the LinuxTag organization and he plans to be there. ;)
