You may need to add a repo, like extras or something. Helpfully, many of the apps you install these days from sites like maemo.org and garage.maemo.org add their repo for you, making updates and such easier. For "standard" add-ons like the above, the popular secondary repos like Extras will probably make them available for you. Don't forget to update the application catalogue! > > with it offline.

Dr. Fred, That's really cool that you are keeping in contact via VOIP from Europe, how is it working? The primary apps for this are Gizmo and Skype. They should be very easy to install on an up-to-date OS2008 install. For a bit more work and for a real communications upgrade for the tablet, check out rtcomm project which, I think, is a replacement enhancement for the communication systems, adding features and making them feel more "default". > Mmm... my idea is not running movies but some home-made video. You > know, party ones, etc... It may depend upon what you use to create the videos. I was able to transfer videos taken with my N-series phone to my tablet and play them without a problem. Other .avi files require me to run them through the excellent tablet-encode program available on garage. Tablet-encode formats the resolution for the screen, and also (can) easily reduce quality and file size so you can fit more on the tablet. hope that's a help, Kevin -- In Vino Veritas http://astroturfgarden.com
