As for other languages, aside from being fun to be able to use your favorite language on the 770, what would be the most practical language to port?
- something with GUI bindings;
- a language with the ability to interact with flat file databases, and maybe SQlite;
- sound;
- graphics;

available. I'm looking for:
- A flexible yet simple database program. Examples:
http://www.0d.be/projects/gaby/Features.html
http://portabase.sourceforge.net/
With a database, one could have a contacts list and a PIN/password list without having to wait for a dedicated program. Shopping lists, Beer/Wine lists, whatever. The good old HP200 had a great DB program, as does my Psion 5MX. I don't need SQL.
- Crypto software. Examples:
http://www.gnupg.org/
http://www.salvis.com/cgi-bin/twiki/...ian/CryptoHome
With a good crypto program, one could encrypt an arbitrary file and not have to worry about built in encryption with individual apps.
Everyone seems to be busy porting games and little internet utilities. I'm a linux/free software junkie, but I'm at the point where I'd be willing to pay for a DB. Other needs:
(I know, many others want these too):
- Better browser (no hurry, I'd just like tabbed browsing and better bookmarks)
- Agenda/todo app (already tried GPE PIM and Deja)
- Better PDF viewer (something along the lines of Adobe)
I'm settling in for a long wait. A peek at the Zaurus app database gives me hope for the future:

Done ranting!
Suggestions welcome. I tried to compile Gaby, but that didn't even work on my gentoo machine let alone the ARM environment. If I have time, I'll come back to it since it's at least based on GTK instead of QT.
