Their are hundreds of applications in the Diablo(& prior) repositories of programs lots of people using on a fairly consistant basis.
The original authors/porters may or may not be interested (or be even around any more) in porting it to Fremantle. Their needs to be some way for developers who are willing to just port existing applications, and/or take ownership and revamp the interface to be consistant with the new UI.

Hello everyone, So I was thinking about how to make the N900 user experience even easier while multitasking. Would it be possible to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow the user to switch between running applications? For example, you have these applications running in the dashboard: 1) Web browser 2) Conversations 3) File manager When clicking CTRL+1 it would go to Web browser. CTRL+2 Conversations etc This shortcut is just an example. Let me know what you think so we can create a brainstorm.

Could the integrated GPU be used for calculations?
I don't mainly think of Folding@Home on N900.... something more user oriented.
But first: Is it possible?
OpenCL was mentioned.

There exists a protocol named ANT+ which is touted as a low power wireless sensor network. Many devices use it, in particular bicycle computers and heart rate monitors. It apparently uses frequencies in the 2.4GHz band. I know there are many transceivers in the N900. I was hoping one of them could be made to work with ANT+. Even though I am a developer, I have never worked with wireless protocols or RF in general, so I thought I would ping on others here before going on a wild goose chase.
Some Linux software already works with the protocol using a USB adaptor that is basically an ANT+ to serial adaptor:
