Sorry, found it under "judging and awards".

EDIT: Chrome was faster. Thanks :)

I am trying to think of what we miss in the Maemo suite... and we really do have a lot. I'm actually not missing anything but two things that would be nice to have native for Maemo is a video and a audio editing program.

Audacity or Openshot would be nice to have on Maemo.

This isn't right... all that would have to be done is for our current SMS app viewer to take into account more than just SMS. We already configure (with PR1.2) our facebook account in our conversations settings so it gets our contact list.. when we receive messages from a user on facebook instead of using a new conversation window to show it.. just use the same conversation window for all integrated services.

You wouldn't need facebook to do anything special at all.. it's all in how the phone handles receiving the messages already sent by facebook/twitter/etc. It would just display them in the same window as the SMS messages.

MotoBlur on the Cliq (android) does something similar as well I believe.. with all communications with a contact being handled in one window instead of multiples.

Of all the "apps" I've seen requested so far.. this idea has my vote. A touch-friendly, mobile Audacity would be kinda cool too.. but with such a small processor handling audio/video encoding/editing would be a nightmare I think.

They should use the money to improve on ovi navigation (and others) for the N900 instead.

Re: Best application for the Nokia N900: $50,000 in cash - 10 days to go

I think Nokia has left it for people to develop apps for N900 instead of themselves using that money for bringing Full Ovi Maps and Flash 10.1 to N900.

10 days left! When did this start? I would've liked to submit something

This would be very beneficial for everyone from programmers to normal end user's that will take the worry out of installing and experimenting in general knowing if anything goes wrong it can be reversed by a simple restore flash when a loop situation occurs for any reason
I think an application capable of doing this would go a long long way for the N900 for many reasons.

Well you can probably use dd to create full image like on pc. However, you'll need to boot(phone) into second linux system to restore it.

How about Nokia making either OVI Suite FULLY integrated on all fronts with with the N900 :p

I'm on the beta version and it doesnt recognise the 900 when it comes to conversations :rolleyes:

ON a serious note that FMMS for the 900 is a damm fine application dont you think. Certainly saved the devices arse when it comes to mms messages.
