To me, probably the most important feature, especially if we start using the N800 for intensive telephony.
I guess we ll notice the difference after one day or so.

You're smart Seb Per... :D

SDHC support, improved touch screen handling. Maybe a few bugfixes, probably some new bugs. No more video chats. 2 new/updated proprietary applications. I would have hoped there would be something really, really big in it, something that makes me want to switch from 770 to N800 for good.... :(

If you recall, the hints I dropped were about features the typical user wouldn't notice...

EDIT: to avoid eliciting more juvenile responses from another malcontent, the improvements I alluded to are in areas that developers will have more in interest in. I don't have specifics and never claimed to-- I am just aware that there were general changes that will suit software developers.

It's unfortunate that some are let down by the update. I did expect that, and said so. But I never said this was the end-all, be-all for the N800. There will be more updates for the device. Think of this one as a sort of... bridge to the tablet's future.

Nokia Internet Call and OS2007 Update

Many are complaining about the removal of the Nokia Internet Call feature from the latest update.

What I read from the maemo.org news page is:

"
Nokia Internet Call Invitation (BETA) application

Nokia Internet Call Invitation (BETA) trial period has ended. The invitation mechanism has been removed and service will not be accessible after 2007-08-31.
"

And that is a good news.
The "trial" is over. So it'll be soon out of beta and we'll be able to use it again after the summer.

I think they're ironing it out.

No I m dumb.
I ve been fighting with the settings of my N800 since purchase to extend power. I m curious to see - and measure- the improvement.

With the next updates it s going to be even more crucial to have excellent power management. unless Nokia ships new batteries.

Re: Nokia Releases Skype, Flash 9, 8GB SD Internet Tablet 2007 Update

When I run Gtalk and open the webcam, the camera shows up within Gtalk. Was it always so? And if so, is there a version of Gtalk on PC that allows webcams? (i'm going to a trade show and was kind of hoping to be able to place some video calls from the floor of the show).

So now that it's out, and with so many first impressions calling it a mediocre update at best, can you elaborate on what the features are that you were hinting at?

you said this once, right. others didnt.

still, i dont consider myself a typical user. if i read the changelog, it seems what's new is very straighforward, aimed at the 'typical' end user. - well, maybe this is why i'm not impressed at all. ;)

Why should I register to a all those proprietary services?! I don't need to register to Yahoo or GMail to exchange emails with Yahoo or GMail accounts!

Couldn't agree more.
