But now you got me interested! :) I've owned all the N-series tablets since the 800 - my 900 arrived the other week and although it does have some rough edges I'm really pretty happy with it (certainly, it feels a lot less "beta" than the "professional", proprietary tool that I previously used for managing RAW files from my cameras!). > Seeing as I work in healthcare (pharmacy) myself, I have not seen any > promising open source or free applications of any value.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I'm not looking to create a pharmacy app (in fact, there seemed already to be some medical records / stores type apps floating around although they are not my interest here so did not look to see if they are any good). This is purely for individuals to track their own medication. E.g. "I need to take the blue inhaler as I need it, the green and brown ones twice a day, the yellow pills in the morning, the pink ones at night and two of the brown ones with lunch.. now, what have I forgotten?" :-) The idea'd be that you enter the drugs you're taking and the schedule you take them on (ideally with a database that knows common pack/blister strip sizes and regimes) and the app issues reminders, asks for acknowledgment that you've taken the dose etc. I can see lots of potential for additional functionality - pretty graphs spring instantly to mind but also reminding when you need to order new supplies, checking off packs at the end of the day/week/month to make sure nothing got skipped etc. > If you want to create a Maemo app, I'd be interested in collaboration. > I've got two small packages in Fremantle already.

It's been a while since I've done anything involving a GUI but I've started having a play with the Maemo 5 SDK at home.
