Re: Nvidia Tegra 600 series - a very pweful MID

Re: My prediction: Nokia Internet Tablet will falter in 2009 and beyond

Yay...the death-drum beats again...

Admittedly, the market viability of the Nokia Tablet is hard to predict. However, can we be clear on something?

Yah...but it works. I might look into MUD and see if it can really auto-create a debian. The VMWare disk image of the scratchbox environment didn't come with dh_make, and I can't seem to install it...

2. Re-flash.
3. Update (multiple times until you have the latest...

Re: Using 2GB internal memory for apps?

If things are getting really tight, it's best to move your documents to flash. I'd have to check, but most of my folders within my "User" folder are sim-linked to flash.
