Re: N900 or what else?
So sad that a phone released in 2009 has no replacement a full 3 years later. I'll be gutted if that's still the case when mine dies.
Good luck in your search mandrake.

Re: Make BASH the default shell
Out of paranoia, I use a .profile entry that checks whether 'sh' is being run in interactive mode AND whether bash is available, and if so execs it:
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/sh" ]; then
if [ -x...

Re: breaking news:nokia partners with microsoft
I think Nokia just crapped in their pants for warmth.
It's sad to think that there may never be an upgrade from this N900 phone which even now has no competitors (any others with a GNU userland?)...

Re: Instability of /opt filesystem
If it's a broken flash, then you should see block-level errors in the kernel log as well as filesystem errors.
Once you're sure the fs is correct (ie after a fsck), wait until it screws up again...

Re: Git For Maemo
Yes, but it took seconds to move /usr/lib/git-core over to /opt/git-core and make a symlink. The remaining 800 KB /usr/bin/git didn't bother me enough to move.

Re: Need gps navigation for n900
Maemo is a marginal prospect at best for commercial developers. Please don't help to scare them away further by encouraging piracy.
Yes Sygic is pretty good.

Re: Interval training App
If we're suggesting hacky solutions:
Record a 60-second clip of silence (using recorder), saying "beep" at 50 seconds & "boop" at 60 seconds. Then play the clip on repeat. :)
