Software for Your N900

A selection of software I’m running on my N900.

N900 (Maemo)

Favorite Desktop Wigets – the N900 features four virtual desktops that feature shortcuts and widgets. Here’s a sample of what I have running on each of my screens:

  • ForecaWeather showing four day forecast for my current city
  • Shortcut to Google Reader which works great in portrait mode
  • Shortcut to Dave Winer’s New York Times river feed
  • Shortcut to Facebook. I prefer the touch screen version
  • Location Widget which can quickly show me where I am on an Ovi Map
  • Calendar Widget & Shortcut to my wife’s contact card
  • Mini view of the Audio Player next to the Tune Wiki widget which scrolls the lyrics of the song playing

Favorite Game - Angry Birds. The whimsical nature of the game mask the sophistication of the physics of the game.

Address Book sync – although it’s pretty basic, Hermes is the easiest way to bring your contacts’ Twitter or Facebook profile pics into the Address Book on the phone.

Favorite Time app – because I’m a time-zone dyslectic, mClock is a useful utility to give me a rough idea of what time it is where.
