Re: Handwriting, please…

For an at least marginally usable HWR engine for linux, you might take a peak at http://risujin.org/cellwriter/.

It's no Rosetta or ParaGraph, but it appears to work. Moreover, it's one of that...

Re: Handwriting, please…

Also, good HWR (meaning fullscreen natural writing) is much more economical with the precious screen real-estate of a handheld. And let's not forget that handwriting, contrary to thumb-typing. does...

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet

Some 3G modems should work; it all depends on the availability of OSS Linux drivers for its chipset,

Re: mcedit - Change MCE settings easily!

This version appears to work. Thanks very much. There was no "update description" however, nor a confirmation of save, but I don't really need those.

Again, thanks.

I started mcedit from xterminal, changed powerkey doublepress to softpoweroff, hit save, confirmed save and my entire tablet froze up, requiring a powercycle.

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet

I wonder... if Nokia had communicated its internal workings about the elusive new tablet as openly as the Openpandora team has done, how this poll would look like.

Re: Any MP3 Player Browseable by Folder?

Kilikali used to be able to, although I have to admit that, after looking for one minute at their last version with the -- bleh! -- kinetic scrolling, I uninstalled it immediately.

Re: Question about Nokia's charger

Interesting. So if I were to put a switching regulator (like this one (http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SWADJ3.htm)) between my 4AA charger and my N800, and up the output voltage to 6V, I could...

Re: Over charging?

Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries actually like being charged often. Deep discharges do them more harm than frequent partial charges, so you're not doing anything wrong in that respect.

Re: Any model battery last 10hours wifi on?

Actually, it probably won't. I don't know what they use to up the voltage (hopefully a switching regulator), but it will certainly significantly reduce the amperage available. Your best bet is a 4xAA...

Re: Who will go down in history as "The Innovater" in Portable Internet devices?

It's a rather simple but effective lesson, but one we're discouraged to learn by the PHBs of the world.

Re: n810 extended battery

I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. It seems it would not be trivial to change the pack you have from a 12 volt to a 6 volt one -- not without some serious tinkering, that is.

As for schematics,...
