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!

1. If it has OS2008 installed, it will support up to two 16gb SDHC cards--for a total 32gb.

2. This is Linux, which is open source; which means that ALL software is free.

3. You can add the repositories (gronmayer.com/it) and then it will list all of the available software that you can download and install.

4. I prefer to use Mplayer, which supports the most codecs.

5. Yes you can. OS 2008 includes Flash 9 support.

Well, currently, when 32GB cards are released, we'll be able to do a total of 64GB and 128GB and 256GB and so on, up to 2048GB.

Hi, welcome to the N800 world.

You should read the Wiki on this site (see link up there) and read beginners section on installing software (maybe you did this already?). Also, there is a link to a GOOGLE search of these forums in the wiki, although just go into the newbie section and you will see a lot of threads with the info you asked about.
