Hello, this is my first post as TabletHacker :D. I would like to hear what people are doing with thier tablets. As new members join what is the must have applications? How is the tablet solving some life problem you were having? Any mission critical things being done on your tablet. Whats your favorite game? What is the best hack to do on your tablet? What is everyone else missing out on?


Looking forward to your comments and insight!!!!

Welcome Tablet Hacker,
We have a forum about all of the subjects you are mentionning in your post. It's http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/ , it has topics (each about one thing at once) and a "search" function. Enjoy!

Complaining about the update servers freaking out is pretty fun.

No He/she is not being snarky. If you read a lot of posts you will learn that the people who are always here and happy to help anyone out would rather not type the same thing over and over again. So lila was just saying that there are many posts asking the same questions already. It does take a little time to search (and the search is not perfect) so you can also use google also. If you are new you would'nt know that this forum has a problem sometimes with people asking how to do something when it is already explained well in another post. Your post is a little different though.

For me: Nethack is a cool game to have on my IT. I also like using RSS, and Clawsmail to check email. Lastly, mplayer is a must have, although there is also canola and other movie players. I like to watch videos on my 770.

Snarky would be saying something like, "Apparently it's fun to go to InternetTabletTalk and complain about Nokia's servers and demand help for things without searching the site first." That would be snarky. ;-)

Well perhaps I should have defined Snarky. Snarky is being a Smart A55. I thought that nice little girl from Poland was being snarky, some might say cheeky :D

Her tone was like :eek: Duh! you *****, where do you think you are, just go read. While this forum has two years of threads and I just thought I would ask what do you like about your tablet, I am sick of all the crying about how bad it is? Anyway I specifically asked a question to which only nosam has addressed. Either way I hold no ill will, I do not mean snarky as a bad thing, my kids are snarky all the time ;)

As I said this is my first post as Tablet Hacker, its not my first post ;)


OK, So I am a bit snarky also, now back to the questions at hand!

Not Euch, no, this is one of the good guys :D

Favorite game is Mario Bros with a game boy emu, mission critical is keeping tabs on some client's computers through vnc and ssh, and I'd like to be able to have an application I could customize with new features from a beautifully designed website tailored to internet tablets.

Um - she said "Welcome" and "Enjoy!" and avoided making it personal by referring to you or your post. IMHO that tone is tactful. Look around at some of the other "Use the search function" posts and you'll see what she was trying to spare you.

But don't be put off - other than being touchy about non-searchers, it's a friendly and helpful group. Welcome and enjoy!

I've been around five whole days now, so am fully qualified to hand out such unsolicited advice. ;)

BTW I am just enjoying carrying a web browser around the house in my pocket, although I'll admit the Mah Jong game is using too much of my time.

Are you calling me "A55" and "nice little girl" at once? Nvm anyway.

My tone meant to say "how do you think a topic about N different subjects at once is gonna go?". This would be a huuuuge mess! Plus, there are already topics answering your questions, so let's keep it clean and post there.
You have the "What's on your 770 and why" topic for the must-haves. You have the "First 10 things to do after buying" topic. There is the whole board dedicated to games.
I'm not saying you're a *****, but I am asking you to respect the posting rules. If you're not new here, you should know whereto post what.

The youth nowadays... :p

OK, so do you think you were being snarky? hehe

OK, to be fair, I called you a smart a55 :D. I never called you an A55. Where I come from everyone is a smart a55 and it is not meant disrespectfully, but being called an a55 is totally different. I meant no disrespect, perhaps my sense of humor is not as funny as I think ;). I was asking people thier opinion about what they liked, this is opion only and not meant to be a usefull topic yeilding tons of technical information. Opinions change, new people come to the forum, I see nothing wrong with my topic.

Perhaps I just need to end stop now. Sincere Apologies to all who find me offensive.


OK, how about I answer my own question. I like using KDE, maemo-mapper is the best mapping program for linux period, I am still waiting for a port for my laptop, mplayer is an absolute must.

i find that i surf the net too much with my n800. just to think i used to fire my laptop up all the time to just use the net.
The only app i use regularly is microb. mainly for email.

Here's my two cents, I love Rhapsody to listen to music and mplayer for movies. Favorite game is bomberman and marbles. Something else I like are the speakers on the n800 so I don't have to use headphones all the time. :cool:

Thread title says otherwise:
"New ITT Member, whats fun to do?"

Why are you trying to pass yourself off as a newbie in this forum area if, as you say, you are already running KDE?

What is your objective in taking on a new persona here?

There are very few good reasons to change. Are you with Nokia marketing trying to start some viral thread about how good the tablet is?

Or perhaps you were already a "persona non grata". Looks like you're getting back there, quickly, with your snarky a55 remark etc.

Welcome, newbie. ;)

I Squeak (http://www.squeak.org/)

LOL! I had to add this otherwise my post would be "too short". Really, I ask you, if "I am" is the shortest sentence (in English anyways) surely "I Squeak" should be acceptable? Answers on a postcard please to "Anywhere But Here" :-)))
