Hmm... that's one of the most glowing review of an N810 I've ever read Finally a review from someone who knows what he's doing with the device and knows what he's talking about and actually does some research on what our little tablet is capable of

I'd still like to have Swing support for Cacao, but SWT works I guess.

according to this page:
http://lists.evolvis.org/pipermail/j...ry/000063.html

swing works but it isn't integrated.

also it seems that for the repository 'chinook' is depricated (as of feburary), replaced by 'maemo4.0'.

SWT has a richer interface widgets. Swing has far more problems as well.

As long as SWT is at least supported, I'm happy.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I really like SWT, but I need swing for porting stuff :/

From the article:
"While Nokia considers the N810 as a phone, it really isn't a phone."

Since when has Nokia considered the N810 to be a phone?

I like, under programming languages he listed you could use, the lack of perl.

...and yet `perl -V' gives lots of oodles of lovely information on a stock install.

His "Inside the N810 OS" "quote" seems to be largely lifted from wikipedia, with lots of incorrect interpretations thrown in for good measure (multiple browser choices? KDE-based interface? :\)

I didn't even realize DDJ was still around. I subscribed to it for awhile back in the 80s, but eventually lost interest in it. It just didn't seem to give me what I wanted, so I let my subscription lapse and forgot all about it.
