Re: MSI Wind

It's been discussed before, but I say again, that I believe that "netbooks" are definitely competitors against the NIT for a sizeable percentage of current NIT owners, including myself, and the 3...

Re: An 'internet' tablet or a Linux computer?

Sorry, but I believe you made my point, If the NIT changes to add smartphone capabilties, it is, well, a smartphone by definition. At that point, we're talking NIT/Maemo/Phone vs. iPhone vs....

Re: An 'internet' tablet or a Linux computer?

I suspect that the N800 platform is going to be squeezed out by netbooks on one end, and smart phones (iPhone/Android) on the other. It may retain some market share as a swiss army knife (aka Linux)...

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)

If those are the worst things you can come up with, than Apple is doing a great job. As far as the syncing issues, syncing is HARD, and nobody (including Palm & Blackberry) gets it perfect.

A couple of points:
1. Apple has a small share of the (desktop) computer OS market, but only compared to Microsoft.

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)

A nice and valid sentiment, but Nokia ignores the iPhone at its own peril. I am a long time Palm-Treo user (and developer) and have seen a beloved platform (Palm OS) go to shameful lows.

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)

Completely agree! The $199 price point is amazing. I'm a developer and occasional hacker and appreciate the NT platform on many levels, but it has not lived up to what I was hoping it would be.

Tck/tcl

I found a GPL program called QDDB which might be a good simple, generic database for the ITT.

The source is in C, but also in TCL/TK (8.3). Is this available for our platform?

TIA

Re: PLEASE, a simple free-form database like QuickDex

FTP Client App Recommendation

Can any recommend a decent FTP client for the IT (800 w/OS2008)?

The one built into the browser is not all that good.
