The N900 (and the Maemo platform) allows the user to, for lack of a better word, “turbo-charge” the Application Manager by opening up a variety of advanced features locked away by default. Enabling them requires taking the “Red-Pill” so to speak. you can always opt for the “Blue-Pill” but c’mon, you only live once.
So, to enable this mode, open the Application Manager and select Catalogs from the drop-down. This will show a list of catalogs
Tap “New” and type the word matrix in the ‘Web address’ field.
Now tap on the blurry region above the Catalogs window. This will bring up the “big choice”
Taking the Blue-Pill will put you back where you started. Taking the Red-Pill will unlock the new world and the Application Catalog will display new buttons like ‘Settings’ and ‘Install from File’
The Application Manager will now update if an internet-connection is available and display a whole lot more packages. These packages are not only useful for development purposes but also for advanced use.
