Well, the current SDK is just a beta and it is not being updated constantly, it works by releases, and the current one is some months old, although enough to start to develop new applications. > > > more like the N900 from the video.

Anyway this would allow you to install applications created by the community, but I fear that this wouldn't allow to install you the "common" applications on the N900. Anyway, take a look to the SDK issues, as has one related to the application manager: http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5_beta_2_sdk_installation/#sdkissue But as I said, the purpose of the SDK is not show a pre-status of the applications that will come on the N900. As his name show, is just a "Software Development Kit", in order to create new apps. === API (apinheiro@xxxxxxxxxx) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
