The best for now IMO is:

Have fun, and take care with really installing extras-devel software..

i know it is getting increasingly frustrating how there arent many apps and the apps that are there, not many end users will find useful...esp GAMES, apps to find movietheatres around etc that kinda usefull stuff.

Are you looking for things to start with ?

A "New Email" widget, like the one for messages, would be awesome! A possibly a realistic place to start ?

You can help getting more apps for N900 users by betatesting what is coming: http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing

Do you watch TV? If you do, then pay attention next week, maybe something good happens.... just because you asked :)

another great source is easy-debian.

when you are willing to test here you can install any linux application within the debian repositories.

though they are not optimized for the small screen and many of them behave a little strange due to N900-limitations

installed abiword and gnumeric (spreadsheet and writing-apps)
they run great!

openoffice will run as well but it is very slow.

Do you have to register somewhere to be a Betatester?

since i have purchased the N900 i have tried to obtain apps from Extras-testing but it has failed everytime.

the error i get is

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t...armel/Packages 404 Not found [IP.92.123.153.49 80]

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t...armel/Packages 404 Not found [IP.92.123.153.49 80]

any ideas how to resolve. i would really like to test new applications, since MfE is not working i'm not really doing much with the phone.

We only need one app. an application that masks the identity of the
n900.
An app that that holds the serial number of an iphone that you go through which means you can download and use all the the apps from itunes if someone could make that there would b e no need for the rest

Some will say imposible i would say not. Yes there both hold different OS but with the n900 being open source should mean the iphone could be decoded and mirrored to the n900 so that you could use the apps
