C++/Qt and play with those written in the languages you're comfortable with

or you write your own from scratch. Right now OM needs more new apps than it

needs shipped apps taken apart (which will probably be done by a number of

people anyway).

Refusing to get the phone because you dislike the languages the shipped apps

are written in, not because it prevents anyone from coding in the languages

they prefer or that any of the applications are proprietary is beyond

ridiculous. To each their own though. Good luck getting that perfect phone

that ships with C and GTK apps and also lets you code in any language you

want.
