Extracting tar.bz2 files on Nokia N800

How do I do this? I want to use some applications with my N800 but
there's nothing I can see that I can use for this purpose and updating
the application manager shows no useful results.

Any help appreciated.

are your friends. Almost anything that can be done, at the moment, with
the Nokia tablets is covered very thoroughly over there. Sign up so you
can post. It's quite harmless and sponsored by one of the best sources
for tablet and Maemo information on the net. There's even a tablet
school if you're new to the tablet.

There are many great user improvements you can make to the tablet if you
just look around the OS2008 download section of maemo.org, all free.

I'd like to recommend a few for you that are very handy, indeed.
