Newb Questions :)

[BigSexy135]

I will be receiving my n800 within the next couple days. I've been used to using Palm products in the way of loading applications. I am unfamiliar with Linux and I have a few questions about the tablet.

1. How do I get SDHC support?
2. Where can I get good FREE software?
3. How do I load the software?
4. What's the best way to watch videos?
5. Can I watch flash videos? (Youtube, Myspace, ect.)

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

http://maemo.org/ for applications, you can watch flash videos with OS2008, not sure about OS2007 which comes pre-installed on the N800, but you can upgrade.

#1 I believe that out of the box is supports SDHC... don't remember for sure I had to get in to either my N800 or my Treo to get support
#2 & 3 check your application manager, under your settings menu I believe, also you can go to on your N800 got to gronmayer.com/it/ (http://gronmayer.com/it/) and check the install all that should open up your application manager where you install applications, or like Benz145 said you can check out maemo.org (http://maemo.org)
#4 there a many players out there it all depends on what type of video you are trying to watch, I, like many others happen to use mplayer for video and canola for audio
#5 I am not sure about this one, I have upgraded to OS2008 and as far as I can tell it works on OS2008 but don't remember if I had to do anything to get it to work on OS2007

Hi,
also: read the wikis - the one here and also at maemo.org to find info on stuff such as videos. Check out the beginners section on installing software.

I am sure you can watch Youtube but you need a program (I think its UKtube?). Just search in the forums. Youtube wont work automatically in OS 2007, but people made programs to get around this. One of them let you click and save the Youtube video and then watch it (which is still very fast).
