		+
		+	== Applications ==
		+	Some of the best community contributions are simply applications!
		+	=== Maemo Mapper===
		+	Maemo Mapper has been here since OS2006 on the 770, and is a community-built, open source mapping application with GPS support. It's an excellent alternative to the default Map application included with OS2008/Diablo.
		+	=== Canola ===
		+	Possibly a jewel of open-source on the tablets, Canola (again, since OS2006) is a (soon to be?) open-source media center for the tablet. It's got plug-ins for last.fm, YouTube, and has a built-in podcast downloader and photo-viewer. It can download cover-art automatically (again, with a plug-in) and do plenty of neat tricks.
		+	=== MPlayer ===
		+	Why wasn't this included by default in OS2008, or at least Diablo? It supports every bloody format you can throw at it, and is a massive improvement over the default. There are also frontends that increase usability.
		+
		+	== Ports ==
		+	Many ports of other operating systems have been done and can be installed with little trouble, thanks to a great deal of community support and documentation.
		+	=== NITdroid ===
		+	Android was first ported onto the tablets by b-man and Penguinbait, and like any first try, it had it's share of problems. It broke video for many programs and didn't support many apps. A fix was released, but unlike the original , it was much more diffucult to do. Then came NITdroid. Ported by Solca, this is the most recent port available and is being constantly updated and tested.
