I used to do the Internet Tablet School site which provided how-to videos for the N800 and N810. I've been sponsored by All About Maemo ( http://www.allaboutmaemo.com/ ) to continue these videos for the N900.

You can see all of these guides on AAM's N900 tutorial index page:

http://www.allaboutmaemo.com/feature...ips__Hints.php

...and also on AAM's YouTube channel:

These guides are all aimed at beginners, they do not require any technical knowledge. They try to explain how to get things done step-by-step.

By the way, anyone who thought my old vids were too slow should check out the new ones, they're much faster and shorter.

(We'll also be shortly creating a web page index which I'll link to on here when it's ready.)

Excellent guide. Keep these up for us newbies

I also would like to see some advanced stuff demonstrated on a video if you don't mind too..

Maybe basic programming? I tend to learn better when I see things done instead of reading about it..

Erm... if you're thinking of doing programming you're going to have to do a lot of reading anyway.

Right, here's another video for beginners, this time on how to customise the N900's desktop, including an example at the end:

Put it in the first post awell so we have a nice beginner guide

Well the first post has the link to the YouTube channel, all the vids are there.

We're going to do a general tutorial index page on AAM too, I'll post the link in the first post when it's finished.

Very short and sweet tutorial this one:

You can search contacts directly from the desktop by just typing on the keyboard. You don't even need to have the contacts app open, it opens automatically when you type. Here's the vid...

Right, AAM has now set up a tutorial index page which will link to all these videos in embedded form, with some explanatory text below the videos too.

I've added a link to the tutorial index page on the original post, and here it is again in case people don't want to scroll:

May I reccomend a video about the mouse mode? It seems to be asked quite frequently here
