Ansel-A is an excellent image editor. Or try GIMP with easy debian.

Forgive this expression, but I don't really give a d@mn what the new phones have. I'm using the N900 presently and a so-called 'important' feature I would really like is the 3G video call because it's more cost effective using it in my country rather than Skype over Wlan or data service. Also, to get all my contacts on Skype video call will be another 3-6 years time. And it makes the phone 'complete'.

It won't be the end of the world if the N900 does not have 3G video call, but as far as this thread goes (what kind of applications are you missing), I would really like to have 3G video call on top of some apps that cook porridge or boil eggs.

the current products are not accurate enough, and skip beats.

Although I personally have no use for 3G video,
I can see your point and do wonder if anyone has looked into
whether the n900 could conceivably run a 3G video call.
Aside from the actual 3G comms API to the GSM chip,
it would probably just need to be coded into being ? or not?

It is at least a question worth asking.

I use the n900 as a netbook replacement, so I sync all of my relevant files in a folder with Drop900/DropBox, I use the Freoffice for the word/excels I use for work, and PDF reader for the pdfs from university, I use Git for syncing some of my devel projects, and more, the only thing I am missing is getting KeePassX to wok decently so I can use it to manage my passwords...
Have you tried PortaBase? I made a simple list in a .csv file and read it into an encrypted PortaFase file - with the fields *I* wanted! :-)

PS I did the initial creation on my PC using the PC version. I often read and edit the files on my N900 using my PC and Mass Storage Mode.

Oh yes, and MY requests:


About a dozen Apps in Dev that look like what I need
....I've only been so bold as to grab Gnumeric and Abiword, But I'm thinking Abiword was one "Dev" too many :-(

"Bookmarking" Twitter Client
....Pick up where I left off last time

Turn by turn navigation

Astronomical Calendar/Ephemeris
....Like gSky Digest

Sync N900 Calendar+Contacts with Thunderbird/Lightning
....OK this is OVI's job, but I'm just saying...

Better documentation of many of the programs that already exist, as well as some kind soul to compare, e.g. the various Map apps or the various eBook apps, etc.
....I don't document my work either, but...


:-)

PS Is there a PowerPoint viewer yet?

+1 for a good music manager. something that can edit multiple id3 tags and support renaming, etc. Also like the idea of finance app which can download ofx data at regular interval and show data in various views. also qwerty portrait keyboard.
