Re: Tried it... went back to OS 2007 for now
I'm sorry, this doesn't wash. It's great that they've introduced new APIs, even better that upstream GTK etc is being tracked now. However, this shouldn't have come at the expense of the old APIs. ...

Tried it... went back to OS 2007 for now
I installed it on my N800 yesterday after finally getting the OS clone to SD working. (Thanks for the instructions everyone!)
I like the OS. A bit faster (when disabling the scrolling RSS) the...

Re: just bought n800 - want to return it
Um, I mean no offense, but you also might like trying to hold it closer to you. Out of habit (with a 320x320 Palm) I was always holding mine at arms length, which made it rather frustratingly small...

Re: what do you think of this?
Someone at work bought an Asus R2Hv:
http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=131&l3=444&l4=0&model=1663&modelmenu=2
It was about $1000 a year ago, so similar price to the Fujitsu you mentioned. ...

Re: Asus Eee PC launched
No, I don't think Asus was terribly interested in energy efficiency or battery life, I think it was all about price. I'd guess that both the display and CPU were chosen because they could get a...

Milhouse, if you do pick one up, I hope you keep using your NIT and posting here. As someone who is still just starting out with these NITs, I've learned a great deal from reading your posts in the...

Re: Asus Eee PC launched
That's pretty much what I'm going to use it for.
At $400, it's also a pretty good backup for me in case my main laptop, which I use to generate income, is in need of repair. (Not unlikely,...

Re: Asus Eee PC launched
The 1.3GB video played fine too. There was a bit of a framerate drop in high-action sequences but this was barely noticeable. (I was paying close attention.) By comparison, neither were...

Re: Asus Eee PC launched
I just tried a 600MB divX file. To my surprise, it played perfectly. In hindsight, I don't know why I was surprised. It _is_ a 900MHz Pentium M-based CPU. I'm now trying a 1.3GB DivX of one of my...

Re: n800 vs. iPod Touch vs. Dell Axim X5
bbc.co.uk took 8 seconds to load with the (slower) microb beta browser. American news from there was another 8 seconds. Both times I had 4 windows open.
I can't speak for the Touch, but the N800...

Re: Asus Eee PC launched
I have owned a 770, own an N800 and purchased an EeePC yesterday. My initial review of it, based on an evening's worth of use, can be found here (http://lnxg.ca/?Hardware:Asus_Eeepc_701).

Re: Poll: Always On or Always Available?
Always available for me.
My N800 is currently used for mail, PIM (with GPE) tracking overtime with gnumeric, notes with sketch and yellownotes, and writing with Notes and a BlueTooth keyboard. ...

Re: Applications working on OS 2008
Does anyone know if GPE works? (Or Dates and Contacts, if GPE isn't an option.)
Now that I've got Evolution syncing with my N800/GPE, it's finally replaced my old Palm as a PDA.

Re: Why the 770
Hello,
I'm new to posting here, but have been lurking for a while.
I bought a Nokia 770 when they dropped to $150 and was suitably impressed with the idea. My new N800 arrived yesterday and...

Re: Buy.com has N800 for $222.99
Thanks for the NCIX info. I ordered one on Wednesday. For what it's worth, despite the 1-2 weeks shipping time, they have already processed payment and it looks like the device should ship out...
