Re: anyone trade their n810 for ipod touch

I have the N800 (not N810, which I wouldn't buy because I detest thumbboards, not to mention sliders) and an iPod Touch. In my opinion, the Touch is far superior for web browsing. Double-tapping on...

That's old?

I often find that I get too many results, and I don't have the time or the patience to look through them all to find the one or two (it's usually no more than that) that answer(s) my query. Maybe I'm...

Re: Screen protector convert!

I've had my N800 since early February, with no problems. I don't use a screen protector. I use the stylus only when I really have to. Not a helpful answer to your question, I know, but it suggests...

Re: ITT's new look at what price?

This is exactly what I do (except substitute "Classic" for "Mobile II") and it works just fine.

Re: BoxWave in Ireland?

I got my official Nokia case from Expansys UK. The cost was horrific (nearly €50 including postage to France) but it's an excellent case. You don't have to take the tablet out of the case in order to...

Re: Run 30,000 Palm OS apps on your Nokia Internet Tablet

This happened to me, too, when I tried to "click" on the link in the N800's own email client. However, when I clicked on the same link on my notebook, it brought me to the EULA and download link. I...

Re: Nokia vs Asus Eee

I wouldn't consider the Eee[k!] because of its undersized keyboard. I have two full-sized Bluetooth keyboards (one folding, one rigid) that I use with the N800. I would have bought the Foleo if...

Re: n800 vs. iPod Touch vs. Dell Axim X5

On the N800, you shouldn't need to zoom on every site. I set the minimum font size to 18 and I rarely use the zoom controls at all. On the touch, you probably will need to zoom on every site as...

Re: Does Penguinbait deserve a FREE N810 from the "Maemo device program" POLL

Agreed, but when you take away the points for KDE and WindowMaker, surely that knocks him off it again?

Just kidding.

Re: Word processing in our modern age...

Sorry to hear that; it works for me. Maybe I've just been lucky in my choice of HTML docs.

I wouldn't expect it to make any difference, but I generally strip out styles, since they won't be...

Re: Word processing in our modern age...

Make a copy of your HTML file and give it the "double" extension ".note.html". I should now open in Notes.

I stress the importance of making a copy rather than renaming. You're going to need to...

Re: So will you buy the N8100?

I'm not going to buy anything with a thumbboard, and a sliding thumbboard at that. It looks like a sodding phone.

Can't wait to try the new OS on my N800, though.

Re: Word processing in our modern age...

Re: Word processing in our modern age...

I completely agree. Writing is one of the things for which the Internet Tablet (with its small screen) is most suited.

I meant to say in previous post that Notes seems to be quite good at...

Re: Word processing in our modern age...

Yes, but it uses only a very small subset of HTML. Despite the limitations, I find it very usable; in fact, I've come to like it a lot.

I agree about SciTE. I didn't get around to reinstalling it...

Re: Is this the future? iphone.facebook.com digg.com/iphone iphone.ebay.com

Ideally, sites should be able to use CSS to serve the same page to a desktop machine with a 21" screen and to a handheld device with 3.5". I stopped holding my breath some time ago.
