Nokia 770 Aplication List Website
 

Hi,

Just and idea.. as the Nokia 770 is getting more and more apps every day, it would be nice to have a website (similar to freshmeat or tucows) with a database catalog that lists all of the aplications for the 770, (sorted by type).
Each entry would provide a description of the software, a link to download it, a link to the homepage of the developer, and a small history of the project's releases...

Could it be done here at Internet Tablet Talk ?

best regards,
;)

Yes, we are in the process of doing that already. We have noticed that there are a lot of links already from Maemo's application page that link back to the itT's blog, evn to forum threads. A download section will be a great feature where developers and members can just keep on adding entries and add comments.

Give us a week or two. :D

Thanks!

it could be better with a repository :)
with repository, we can use apt-get or synaptic to install directly on the nokia 770 (without computer) and we can upgrade applications easily :)

Synaptic is a "GUI for apt-get"
If we don't use the power of debian, why we use it on maemo ?

Yes, that would be an excelent idea!
An aplication to browse/install/update packages !

Any web verion of that?

Yes and no. Debian (maemo is based on it) has browser of packages on their website. But the main idea of the application presented is different: you choose a package (an application) and the app checks the dependencies of the selected package and marks the needed packages to be installed/updated also. Then you hit "Update" button and the performs all the actions automatically: uninstalls obsoleted packages, downloads all new packages and installs them.

i see maemo 1.1 is out, i didn't test it but there is maybe apt in it.
maemo 1.1 is not for users, there is no nokia binaries installed (opera...).
