Re: Pronunciation of Nokia
Though we forgot to re-iterate, the stress is on "knock". Knock'ya.
And I just realized, many Americans pronounce "knock" more "naaak", which isn't right for "Nokia".

Re: Pronunciation of Nokia

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
Excellent news - many thanks in advance. I'd say you should call it a beta, or release candidate, if it's still lightly tested.
Some people will stumble upon it and expect it to be flawless... ...

Re: 8 things I want from my N800
I have to agree on the interface, for all the reasons that this guy (http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/stuff/n800/) compares it unfavorably to the Apple Newton. It's massively wasteful of the limited screen...

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
2.0 features all sound very cool. I for one would love to keep up to date with how things are going, though I'm sure you'd like to avoid creating expectations. Still, if you kept a blog of progress...

Re: N800 no longer loads GUI
I had the same symptom when I cleverly (not) put "sudo gainroot" in my .profile. Something to do with starting up the GUI must be done as normal user - and it's a terrible idea anyway.
So if...

Re: N800 Questions that need Suggestions!
I'm pretty impressed by the Holux - often gets a fix indoors or in "urban canyons", and is very small, cheap, and the battery lasts ages.
