I see so apps we want to use are possible to build in future into a 
sandbox we basically see if they run fine IE without monitor
so for instance i want lifeograph and vnc i could get these in a sandbox 
and test on phone and tablet and tabllet with convergence and see they 
pan out :)
now that would be amazing :)
how will we know what sanbox available apps are available would we 
search through available apps
i can see gimp, firefox and libre office are available but as more 
become available how will we know is there a store or search app ...
