Not to mention that currently filling the (JFFS2) root filesystem eats up RAM as well.

Since the filemanager discussion was in this thread I thought it would be interesting to link back for people who might not read maemo news...
http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/0...-file-chooser/
So there *is* some additional magic going on, but we have yet to see how well it does in real life

Code:

Keep in mind also that ext2 & family (especially the journaled versions!) are not very well suited for a raw flash device (SD cards that do their own wear leveling are a different story). The UBIFS page has a lot more info than you probably ever wanted to know on the subject ;-)
Oh, and I should add UBIFS was developed by Nokia.

Portrait mode in Conboy focusing on reading notes? Alright, makes sense. In such case portrait mode is probably associated with one hand usage / on the go. What about offering the notes sorted by last edited with a visible button offering to change view to last opened sorting? This would most probably satisfy use cases like shopping list, speeches, memos, classroom notes... Probably better than defaulting to alphabetical sorting.
Probably that makes sense for landscape too?

For both issues several bug reports exist in maemo.org Bugzilla.
Feel free to vote for them.
Of course the best solution would be if Nokia covered every possible setting of any widget, but I guess that's quite unrealistic and costs a lot of time and money.
So at least the documentation should be TOTALLY CLEAR about what is supported and what is not.
And as far as I see this is what Nokia is currently made aware of and also gets discussed internally within Nokia - so it's quite good that people in the maemo.org community made some noise about this, but keep it constructive. :-)
