Thumbs down Re: £448.49 at Handtec

Re: £448.49 at Handtec

Gotta love canned responses:



For the past 7 days? More like 3 months!

Anyway, I hope they start shipping soon. NOS is not an option for me as they don't do international delivery.

Re: [Maemo 5] How do I view alt text in the Maemo browser?

Is Greasemonkey ported to the N900? If so, there are scripts that can show you the XKCD title text.

Re: n900 macro shot problem

Yes, that's true - shooting macro doesn't mean that the subject needs to be glued to the lens. Even dedicated macro lenses usually need 8-10 cm from the tip of the lens.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

I'd also appreciate RDP support.

VNC is not a substitute when connecting to a Windows machine. It only transfers images while RDP is much smarter and integrated with the OS.

This allows it to...

Re: N900 Skype Contacts

I don't have a N900, but from what I've seen you can filter your contacts based on type - Skype, SIM, whatever.

Re: Higher-res screen?

I fail to see how adding more pixels will help anyone reading a PDF. Adding more pixels and increasing the display size sure will, but we'll be moving out of phone territory then.

Re: N900 November

A major drawback for WM is that it runs on a huge variety of hardware. No application developer in their right mind will choose to target a single device.

This particular Snapdragon will have a...

I don't mind Python... just making my first steps with PySide actually. But a web runtime would be a killer. I can do that with closed eyes and one hand behind the back :)

Re: N900 Xvid movies. Does it do DVD resolution?

That's true, but I prefer to transcode the videos for the obvious reasons - smaller size, embedded subtitles (if needed), better battery life (presumably).

Also, transcoding is bound to get very...

Re: Here's a new N900 video, I haven't seen before

The HD version of this video is 960x480 (approx) - I don't see the point of playing this on the N900 - the quality and performance will suffer from scaling it to the screen size.

Just kidding, of course - it's a valid question for the privacy-concerned.

Re: Where does the N900 swap live?

Keeping the swap on the large memory card means less overall wear, as the writes will be spread across the whole card.

Pixelpipe will make a great back-end for such widget. A quick search in the forums revealed that they're testing an application for N900. Perhaps, they'll provide a widget... or it is a widget.

Nope, only get them to the right size in pixels. The DPI setting comes into play only while printing.
