Re: Dismal Diablo Battery Life - N800

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
It strikes me that it would be foolish for Nokia to hitch its wagon exclusively to WP7 (in the high-end smartphone space), especially without any reliable guarantees that it will succeed. It is a...

Re: AbiWord for Chinook and Diablo - Open Beta
Thanks for the explanation! It's nice at least to know what the issue is. I will make the switch to Diablo eventually, maybe this will be the thing that pushes me over the edge. In any event, good...

Re: chumby
Had the same problem installing, but this workaround worked for me, and now it works great--including video. Neat app! And a good way to get my friends/family intrigued by Chumby.

Re: The $20 unlimited data plan

Re: Importing List of POIs into Maemo Mapper 2.3
Yep, that is essentially what gnuite suggested, and it would work just fine for a small number of categories. But where you have a lot of categories (e.g. 60), that would involve:

Re: Importing List of POIs into Maemo Mapper 2.3
