This has been implemented now in the upcoming hildon-application-manager.
There will be a new "List of Applications" category in the Backup/Restore tools
for this.

See http://hildon-app-mgr.garage.maemo.org/ for details about the new
Application Manager. It is available in Sardine unstable.

Hey, nobody's interrested in the next firmware ? Only about Skype ?

It will be great to backup/restore the whole system INCLUDING all the apps !

Yes, hope it will be really possible. I tried once a method found here to fully backup my 770 (http://internettabletmania.wordpress...d-for-bug-974/) but with no luck

jeez, its just kinda refreshing to hear about some actual upcoming improvement... I am plum sick of skype skype skype.....

This is a welcome addition, particularly since we will ALL be reflashing.....I for one look forward to NOT having to reload all my apps....

I wonder what else the new firmware will offer (OTHER THAN SKYPE!!)

.....and...........w.........h........e........n.. ...................

Yes, tell, us WHEN at least... ((

this blog was done in feb. listing future plans for the n800. no dates though

http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2007/02/h...l-roadmap.html

I just meant that the only "date" or "milestone" we knew about was "before Q2/H1 07". Than one was disrespected, and as already lots of posters pointed out, Nokia did not even say "sorry, we're late, please wait another 2 months (or whatever)". That would be enough for me because, even if I would quite disappointed for the late arrival of the update, I had a date in which I had to expect it.

In this case, we are just here hoping for the release to come out. I know people will refresh the maemo.org page for months..

maxilogan, i edited my post. i too wish there was a better description of short, mid, and long term like say month/year. And this is just a blog. i think it would be much better if Nokia posted something like this on their website.

Don't get me wrong i love the n800 and have no problems waiting but i am human and the little boy in me wants to know when.
