I vaguely remember some talk about mime-types and being able to
specify apps to open different types of files, but don't know the
details or have that particular need myself. I don't think the default
apps can be changed because it's hardcoded into the OS. I'm really
fuzzy on that stuff, though. You might want to search the Internet
Tablet Talk forums. There's some really good stuff on there, and the
Maemo wiki as well.
