Faster Application Manager

Testing Faster Application Manager

I noticed today that there is available "Faster Application Manager " in Maemo5 downloads.

This could be a useful application since standard application manager is quite slow.

The first test look promising.The application feels bit faster than standard application manager but it could be an illusion.

Updating the repositories still takes time but this application do show progress gauge so you know what is going on. Time will show if this application is useful or not.
