dusting of my ol n800 and ideas form whats possible?
 
ok my n800 has been unused for a long time so i dusted it off today and took it with me to work (i get more free time at work then home lol)

first some details;
the about screen says
version 5.2008.43-7

im guessing i need to update the firmware (any good custom ones?) i have a spare 8gig sd card (i used to clone the os onto the card i had before but that knowledge is now lost to me lol)

heres what i want to do with it,

it will be at home only connected to the net/lan via wifi

first up my server pc has vnc installed so i want to use a vnc viewer (preferably one that trys to conect every 10 minutes so that when my server turns itself on the vnc viewer automaticly connects)

i have a ps3, the remote control for the ps3 is a bluetooth remote, the n800 has bluetooth....you can see where im heading with this lol i want to use the n800 as a remote for the ps3 (and keyboard if possible)

any tips on how to acieve these two goals?

Well as for the PS3, there is BlueMaemo. I think the N900 version of it has support for the PS3, not sure if the n800/n810 version does (check the thread).

So, you must have found 'someone', just like in any daytime soap opera, so 'who/why/what' is that someone that can take the place of.......um N800?

you can find a vnc viewer in the app repository... works perfectly. not sure about having it connect every 10 minutes, tho.
