I think that the PIMs are a very important part of the whole project and
will have to interact with each other pretty closely. That's why I think
they form a group of their own. But sure, you are basically right, PIMs
are apps. On the other hand they share this close relationship to each
other.

The apps folder is IMHO for general apps like a pocket calculator or
things like this that stand for themselves and has almost no relationship
with other apps.

But if the others also want we can throw all this together in apps...
For me I just like to have a tidy start. Maybe even another category
"multimedia" would be good for video/audio players/recorders as they will
also have common grounds that would make sense to gather in one place, for
example decoding libs, etc. On the other hand they are also apps ;)
