Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

If it's like mine, the column is too narrow. You can make it wider by dragging the column divider (very hard to see) at the top of the screen.

Re: How to force update to PR 1.3 ?

I have that package installed but my appmanager refuses to install as it says "conflict with application packages: perl(5.8.3-3osso11+0m5).
