does it cost something?
I haven't found any fees to be paid.
Then I will connect it to my PayPal account, okay?
The flash plugin can be included on every site who wants to help us.

edit: @kojacker: would you update your first post with the Nokia sponsoring? (In big, fat, red letters :D)

I just guess that a really general missing application may wins over a personal one. So is there a wish list?

Conferencing cellular and IM calls on n900 is what I am interested in...

I don't think it costs anything and the money should go straight to the PayPal account you connect it to.

It'll be the community who decides in the end, so who knows what they will put more value on, but I think a wish list is a great idea :) Nicola, as it's your idea, could you make a new thread just for wish list ideas? It'll be good for devs to get some ideas of what the community would like, and I'll link your thread to the first post here.

Edit: Ah.. Cue I just notced, loving the sig!

Some of my ideas/wishes

1. A really nice Overclocking app for titan's "Enhanced Linux Kernel for power users" like Android's SetCPU would be awesome.

2. iPhone's Sleep Cycle-like app would be fun to have.

3. A really nice GUI App for TrueCrypt. Create/mount/dismount encrypted volumes, auto-dismount after certain time etc.

Maybe someone will make something like iFart or iBoobs... only better.
So people can show off in front of their friends with iPhone. :D

Wow what a great initiative kojacker! I'm completely swamped right now so I can't participate, but I'm really looking forward to try the apps :)

I can feel the competition for alarm clocks really heating up ;-) Spenc3 and I were planning on putting some more major fixes into FlipClock to get it into full prime condition on the N900, and if there's some competition involved, we might just have to push out a few extra goodies to boot! (lol talking alarm clock... let me just say this: having worked with speech synth in the past, waking up to my old friend "Dr Sbaitso" each morning would just be creepy! Not that it's a bad idea that we'll never look into... but we'd have to find a nice easy decent female voice synthesizer)

Also have two other apps "in progress" that may or may not make it in time. Can we have a better way of "organizing" this competition? i.e. setup a wiki page that the competition organizer updates (or that entrants update) so that people won't get lost in all the messages of this thread? Also so devels know what's going on from others...
