Re: An ITT-OS200* distribution to PCs (PC-OS200*)?

Re: Harold and Kumar (Escape from Gitmo)

Funny that filmmakers still haven't switched to the N800. 770 is simply the sexiest tablet on screen. :D

Re: Everex Cloudbook

But is it worth it? Lots of reviews say it's painfully slow compared to its direct competitors. That Via processor just isn't cutting it.

Re: How to view youtube on the nokia 770

Another alternative is www.keepvid.com , which can handle just about any streaming video site.

Re: English-Chinese dictionary on 770 with OS2006?

I also tried Stardict, in my case to get an English-Japanese dictionary, but the operation was exceedingly slow, so slow as to be near useless. Sorry to say that I haven't found any other...

Re: The Sharp D4 - "Watch out, Nokia N810"

This is an overpriced waste of an Intel Atom processor...can somebody yank it out of there and plug it into an Asus Eee? :)

Re: No competitors

Is there any point to viewing 1080p on a 800x480 screen? (I mean, even if the processor can handle all the downsampling to make it play, the result will probably look worse than a more modest video...

Re: WSOD - Who has had one?

If I understand correctly, you got the WSOD right after you removed the battery after a crash, right? Exactly what happened to me.

I certainly sympathize, but in hindsight you should have kept in...

Re: 9 inch EEE PC

That's right; it might not be a direct competitor in a true sense, but it is definitely related (like a distant cousin):

For one thing, the Eee is a highly mobile device running Linux, and runs it...

Re: 770 - the forgotten tablet

Eh. A few years ago some people thought that it would all end with the 770 because it wasn't a financial, corporate success.

We're end users, gotta think like end users. It's all right to...

Not a very pretty device, but most pocketable.

Better than the Amazon Kindle, that's for sure.

Re: 770 - the forgotten tablet

Yeah, cellphones really are a "throwaway" market. It's pathetic to think how wasteful this industry is, but then partly it's because the consumers think the same way: phones dies, they go "YAY, we...

Re: Is there an audiophile in the house?

Admittedly, I only ever tested Sennheisers at the store and with friends, to see how they compare to the 7506; I don't own one myself. When connected to a top-of-the-line amplifier the HD-280 sounds...

Interesting concept, certainly in terms of reusability and sustainability, but you do become very dependent on one company, IMO. It's such a close relationship that it brings to mind privacy issues...

Re: Is there an audiophile in the house?

That Sony 7506 is far and away the best headphones for a device like the N800, by the way. They're not as accurate as a similarly-priced Sennheiser would be, but the Sennheiser needs an amplifier in...

In that case your spine would be wanting an Asus Eee: it weighs a whole pound less than the MB Air. :)

Because I have a 770, I don't visit the N800 forum very often, which is why I missed that. Thanks.
