Unsupported port of N800 software to 770:

The device can use memory card to extend its memory. Because swap
"memory" is written/read for disk instead of RAM, your device will get
much slower when more of this memory gets used, but it helps in
situations when you haven't got enough memory otherwise. For more
information, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging
You can enable swap from the control panel memory applet.
Do not remove your memory card without disabling swap or your apps crash.
