Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread

Re: Anyone has both n800 and Ipod touch?

-- iPod: no Ogg Vorbis support, and never-ever-likely-to-be.

Much has been said about the repo issues; despite having joked that the repos are probably hosted on a refurbished N800 using stolen 802.11b bandwidth from an aging neighbour, I'm more interested in...

When asking such a question its best to stick with "What to you want to accomplish; what do you want to happen" and stay away with any notion as to "how".

Re: The itT Canola2 Beta discussion thread
