Re: Traditional TFT LCD of the N900 and the new SLCD !

The screen is so sharp that the bikini girls will look nekkid.

And your 2D edition of Avatar will play in 3D. Even older movies like Gladiator or Top Gun will play in 3D.

Re: I'm about to let my N900 go because of thumbnailer daemon

Re: Meego 1.1 RC?

Re: How do I play Videos Full Screen ?

I'm a bit confused. Why do you want the video to fill the full screen?

You doing wlan at the same time, or being in an area with very much wlan?

Re: Is GPS radio-silent (not in A-GPS mode)?

All civilian GPS solutions have limitations on max height, max speed, max acceleration and max jerk. So you can't just go out and buy a GPS off-the-shelf and use to control a cruise missile.

Re: What is power draw difference: 3,5mm amplified audio output vs. USB PCM output?

A USB device can negotiate for 100-500mA of current - but don't need to draw the negotiated current.
