Revision as of 14:14, 18 May 2010

Please list all those apps from other platforms (Symbian, Palm, Iphone, Java etc.) you can't live without, and you wish were available on your new maemo convergence device.

Please list the product name here, also including the operating system, the developer's site (if you know it), and a brief summary of the functionality.

You should include only already existing apps which are today available for other mainstream pocketable devices, not generic "rants" for some generic fancy functionality, or applications meant for desktop computers. This way, we can keep high the signal-to-noise ratio and maybe select a number of developers we should convince to work on the new maemo platform.

Note: Possibly merge this with an already existing request page
