Re: US National Weather App for Desktop?

Why don't you trust weather.com? They're getting their data from NOAA, the government agency that does weather forecasts.

Re: How does Tablet GPS compare to Dedicated GPS unit? Good for hiking? Roads?

I've used various systems over the years, including a Radio Shack Digitraveler, a bluetooth adapter connected to a Garmin Legend, and an F-Tech bluetooth GPS, these connected via bluetooth to a Palm...

Re: ACCESS Releases Garnet VM Beta 3

If you absolutely have to run Palm apps, get a Palm. Are those books not available in any other format? FBReader uses Palm Plucker format easily, and if you can find it in almost any format there...

Re: Does any know what is the cd comand in xterminal to memory card

Like I said, a choice was made to code it that way, and we may never know exactly why that choice was made. I agree that it's too late to change it. We just have to live with it.

Re: Does any know what is the cd comand in xterminal to memory card

It makes no sense on the N800 either. I've learned the correct order, but why they named them in the order they did is something only the person who named them knows. It's backward, but it is what...

Re: Sync with google contacts?

You can export from Google, and import into the N800, but I don't know of a real sync method. There is at least one person who has said he is going to work on it, but I've seen no results yet. ...

Re: Does any know what is the cd comand in xterminal to memory card

You don't have to be in the directory where you want to put the uncompressed files. you can tell tar to extract them to any directory on any drive.

Re: ACCESS Releases Garnet VM Beta 3

When I finally got around to flashing Diablo, almost all my apps were reinstalled, and I didn't lose much of anything. I still haven't gotten around to getting GVM.

Re: Why Can't They

It's easy enough to write a program for any OS, but the map data isn't free, and has to be purchased from NavTeq or another company. It's the data that costs, and nobody can or will provide that for...

Re: Aluminum case interferring with N810 GPS

I would be surprised if the GPS worked at all inside an aluminum case.

Re: RoadMap and Routing

I haven't played with Roadmap in some time, but ISTR that it did its own routing, which is certainly possible with vector maps. There should be no reason for downloading routes if they are used,...

Re: Inflight USB power for your NIT?

The airlines can allow any devices they want to. They just have to test the devices to make sure they don't affect the avionics. There is really no way bluetooth or wifi back in the cattle car can...

Re: Calendar?

Erminig works, but it isn't necessary. The basic GPE calendar will sync with your Google calendar all by itself. It takes a little tinkering, but it does work. The only problem is that you get...

Re: Aluminum case interferring with N810 GPS

Re: Aluminum case interferring with N810 GPS

Metal will definitely block GPS signals, as will water. But if you want protection, metal is superior to leather or plastic. You could remove the NIT from the case when you need to use the GPS, but...

Re: Eee PC or Sony PSP?

For me, the Eee is perfect. The keyboard is small, but it took me about a day to get used to it, and now I can type as fast as I can on a large keyboard, maybe faster. It doesn't get as hot as my...

Re: Internet Tablet Talk to become talk.maemo.org

Re: PIM Contest

Datebk is the best I've seen, but it's Palm. CESD has sent emails saying he is porting it to Windows as a desktop app, and i suppose we can dream it will also come to Linux, and then a Maemo port. ...

Re: PIM Contest

The gold standard of PIMs is simple - Palm perfected PIMs years ago, and still has the best, by a wide margin. Nobody else has come close.

Re: idle question

CWI can be dangerous. I advocate coding while sober, then drinking. Debugging drunken code can be very laborious.
