Of course, now your next question will probably be "How do I get the mCalendar.deb file? Perhaps someone else can help you with that.

Thank you Den in USA,

actually i cannot access to internet connection, I'm disappointed with this product, as I couldn't connect it to wlan, nor public wifi...

Re: Installation without i-net connection

Did you buy it used? If so, something may be wrong with your unit.

I would suggest a reflash ( http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware )

You can download the necessary files on your pc, then connect the n8x0 via usb.

I bought mine new, and I've never had a problem connecting to wifi.
