You're too prolific for me. But for now, I'll quickly respond to the microSD issue. Again, I'm not a hardware person, but aren't you combining two issues here? So, there's the bus, and then there's the media that uses the bus. My understanding is that what makes SD slow isn't the bus, its the flash memory technology. As an example, I quickly went to newegg and found this microSD card. It quotes a 13MB/sec read rate. So that tells me the microSD bus can handle at least 130Mb/sec. Thus, the bottle neck would be right where it should be: on the transceiver. Works for me.

Tim Samoff made it for me. According to Tim, the avatar's name is qole 2.0, but it seems to me it should be qole 2.0 beta.

Could you explain this? I'd love to be able to skip tracks with the +/- keys but none of the players appear to be able to do this.

Oh man, I always thought you were a Gimp ninja. It's much cooler than your alpha.

I want to learn some of that really trendy glassy stuff. I tried to follow a recipe once, but the follow-along images were missing. Here's some icons I've been using lately:

Name: Uranus-256x256.jpg Views: 246 Size: 8.3 KBName: Jupiter-256x256.jpg Views: 218 Size: 11.2 KB

And here's where you can find the entire glassy solar system.

Lately, I've been grabbing icons from the free Tango set, they're SVG so you can break them apart and use elements from several icons.

EDIT: I can't believe you posted a picture of... Uranus... online.

Fair point, but it was pretty close to being included, you just had to click on the pre-installed Skype link to start the installation (and the same link activated the app after installation).

Maybe you'd be in favour of pre-installed links to apps rather than the apps themselves?

I don't think it'd be a much different definition in Nokia's eyes. Either way, we need to get people to the Application Manager and Extras and that's what I think we should be focusing on.

If you prefer this discussed in the "other thread," please leave a link here and answer there.
The cool thing is, it looks like the Mer project has already taken care of the stylus keyboard. I've seen the screen shots before, but I didn't know it was working as well as qole explains here. So, there's probably nothing for me to do. A win-win and plenty of beer for the Mer people.

As far as my own needs, I think that the stylus keyboard was implemented as an annoying, general solution to a problem. Using the xterm as an example, I'm tired of it popping up and down based on input context. I'm also tired of how much and where it takes up real estate; add in the toolbar, and it fills up almost half the window. This burns me out and it has a negative effect on my productivity. So, I'm fixing this as a separate issue to having a basic stylus keyboard. Time to party.
