::: The problem with those is that they don't fit well onto device rootfs. Much better would be a Hildonized ScummVM "Content frontend" that would depend from ScummVM, list freely available games/gamedemos (with screenshot etc) and allow user to to launch them with ScummVM.  If the game/demo isn't yet in the device, the frontend would first automatically download the required files from the net to a external/internal memory card + setup them for ScummVM.  Similar thing would be useful also for other things that have large data sets (like Wesnoth).

: Needs a much better list of podcasts, possibly the list that the N95 podcast application uses if formats are compatible.  I've also had issues with gpodder leaking memory, and making my N810 slow down.--[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal Xournal] [[Image:Star.png]]: A great notes/sketch utility.  One of ''few'' apps that utilize the pressure sensitivity of the screen!  Invaluable to create and annotate PDF documents on a pocket computer.

* [http://www.fbreader.org/ FBReader]: e-book reader.  Great functionality, but the UI is a bit clunky (file dialogs are not Hildonized, preferences dialogs are overwhelmingly complicated, there's no smooth touch scrolling).

: Will need at least one book included, and preferably a link to where to download more. My recommendation for the latter is manybooks.net, where many of the Gutenberg Project books have been reformatted. --[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
