RE: [maemo-users] Some Thoughts Regarding IT OS 2007 and the N800
The N800 backup program is adequate for simple backups; however, it should include the ability to backup the storage cards and provide some level of compression. For example, I have two 2GB storage cards. On one I do backups. On the other I have photos, etc. I should be able to backup one card to the other. And I should be able to select backup of applications, etc. Agree -- would love to backup apps. After a reflash, you have to install everything again. It's great to save your prefs etc, but getting the apps back would be very nice. I'd like to have the backup be something you could schedule -- on my Palm's I used BackupMan and had it run each night at 1am. This is much more difficult than you think (I was campaining for that feature too). I do a lot of international travel and thus like to use the 24-hour clock, e.g. 1300 for 1:00PM, 1400 for 2:00PM, etc. This is the first OS I've encountered that doesn't allow for 12- or 24-hour clocks. I'd like to see that changed. no comment. This is based on your country's way of handling it. US/UK will get you the AM/PM way, other countries usually use the 24 hour system. For an Internet Tablet, e-mail is a major component. Unless I'm missing something, there is no option to delete all e-mails or even to select several e-mails and delete them. For example, I subscribe to two newsgroups and regularly receive lots of e-mails. In my office I scan the headers to see which are important and delete the rest. I do the same with the N800 except I have to delete each e-mail one-by-one. That's tedious and inefficient. Agree - had that issue previously on the 770 as well. I currently use Gmail in the browser. Multiple selections are possible and rather easy. Just drag the pen over several emails in a row. And then you can add more by dragging over another list of emails. It supports multiple selections ;) Guess a video with instructions would help here ... --jakub ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: [maemo-users] GPE Tools
Dr. Nicholas Shaw wrote: I’m interested in the community’s thoughts. I have a N800 and am currently using gpe-todo and gpe-contacts and I tried gpe-calendar (very short period). I sent my observations/thoughts/recommendations to George France but thought I’d put some of them here to see if I’m really off base or if others have similar thoughts. I’ve listed the programs in the order (my order) of completeness. I do realize that only gpe-todo has been listed for IT OS 07. 1. gpe-todo 1. I like gpe-todo more than the Palm todo program. 2. I like the fact that the categories are shared amongst three programs (todo, calendar, contacts); however, they are unsorted. The contacts should, ideally, be automatically sorted or, as a minimum, allow them to be sorted. 3. I see no value in the status display. If I tap the block, a mark appears indicating it’s in progress. If I tap it twice, a line goes through the task indicating it’s complete. Thus, I see the status display as being redundant and taking up real estate. By removing the status, there’s more room for summary text. 4. When entering a new todo item and checking the “Due:”, you can choose a date by double-tapping the date you want. I’d prefer to be able to just single tap. 2. gpe-contacts 1. This program has much potential. I like the ability to choose from the alphabet on the side and all entries that fall within that range appear. I also like the ability to display entries based upon category (I missed this when I wrote to George). 2. I would either eliminate the image or move it to a separate tab. With the open area for “Personal”, I would break the name into two separate entries, “Last” and “First” and then sort on the “Last” field. I would also include a field in this tab called, “Business” and sort on the first word. While there appear to be unexplained exceptions, business names sort on the last name. Thus, for example, AFA Orthopedic Clinic had to become, “Orthopedic Clinic AFA” in order to sort correctly. 3. I wouldn’t create redundant entries for home and office but instead, like the Contacts program that comes with the N800, enable the creation of new fields that would include, for example, “Home”, “FAX”, Mobile”, “Work”, etc. Thus, the user could create, if needed, two mobile number fields, or two business fields, etc. 4. The address field should be multiple address fields, e.g. street1, street2, city/province, state, zip, country, etc. The “mail” and “web” fields would be new fields as required as in the Contacts program that comes with the N800. 5. Names of people and names of business, once sorted, should appear in proper order, e.g. “Bank of America” would follow “Frank Arnold.” 3. gpe-calendar - This program kept causing problems with IT OS 07 so I had to remove it; however, it looked like it would do the job. 4. gpe-syncd – I have not been able to install this so don’t know how well it will sync the above programs with data on my computer.

RE: [maemo-users] Some Thoughts Regarding IT OS 2007 and the N800
Jakub, Thank you for the information regarding e-mail. I'll try it out today. I would, however, recommend including an option to 'select all.' Again, this just saves the user from dragging across many e-mails. The option would work for whatever directory the user is in such as the 'inbox.' I missed Jonathan's response yesterday but the ability to schedule backups, like I do with my Palm, would be great. I use BackupBuddy and backup my data every time I turned off my Palm. My Palm died which was the driver for me to look for an alternative. It is here that one starts to discuss what should be included with the product and what should be a purchased product. BackupBuddy is a purchased product and I would be willing, for a full featured product, to pay for the same or similar features for the Nokia. For an included product, the program should enable one to backup any files on the device, whether flash or card. Backing up of all programs and data should also be included. The issue of cost then moves to the depth and breadth of the features and the ability to, for example, selectively choose which files to retrieve, performing incremental versus full backups, etc. Regarding 12- 24-hour time, I recommend, for the next update, you provide the ability of the user to choose which they desire. Military personnel in the US, for example, use a 24-hour clock as do many international corporations. Visitors to the US may see the N800 and decide to purchase one at a local CompUSA and be disappointed that it uses US time.

Hi, Regarding 12- 24-hour time, I recommend, for the next update, you provide the ability of the user to choose which they desire. I was kind of campaigning for that back then it was specified (when we were making the 770), however, not everybody did agree with me and it was not me that was going to decide it anyway, so it is thus the way it is now - English - 12 hour clock Finnish - 24 hour clock. Military personnel in the US, for example, use a 24-hour clock as do many international corporations. Visitors to the US may see the N800 and decide to purchase one at a local CompUSA and be disappointed that it uses US time. Well, I use English language on my N93 and it does the same thing and it is pretty odd for me since I would prefer to use English + 24 hour clock and I have used to the 24 hour clock.

The metadata of media files is automatically extracted using Libmetalayer for other applications to use. I ended up to completely disable the daemon.

Fair enough - was just wondering what others were doing.

Obviously this does limit choice of content, but the alternative is having limited choice of reading platforms (or finding unsupported ways of stripping the DRM, as you noted in your last message). My favorite content sources are: http://gutenberg.org/ http://podiobooks.com/ (audio books instead of text, contemporary work) http://librivox.org/ (audio books, classic out of copyright work) http://archive.org/ (all kinds of stuff, including classic movies) I would also reinforce the importance of asking for 770 ports from your favorite eBook stores.

Re: [maemo-users] JAVA for the 770
Hi Wahlau: minimo package is necessary only for a matter of dependencies. That is, you need the libraries that come with minimo, but you are going to use the default browser pre-installed in your 770. I don't usually run minimo browser. So you run your pre-installed browser (that is an Opera version), and go to the maps.google.com webpage. You don't need to install anything. If you wait a few seconds for the webpage to download, you'll see the typical map view and even satellite or hybrid view if you like. I've made some pictures and want to upload, but don't know how. I've uploaded it to a Yahoo Group, but I don't like it because you must be member of the group to look at the pictures. Anybody could help me to upload these pics to a blogger? The Yahoo address is the following: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sebastian_nokia770/ 2007/1/26, Wahlau - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: HI Sebas, thanks for your hint... since if not because of your blog, i would have not tried installing java on the 770 now. btw, mine works too... together with some tests AWT from Andrew. many have asked about using java applets.. which i myself have no idea. it would be nice if you can tell which browser you use, and how you download google map and stuffs... i might perhaps write up a little on the whole thing once i have the time, once. :) regards, wahlau On 26/01/07, sebastian maemo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, this is Sebas. I posted a blog comment where I told how I installed a JVM in my 770. I'm new in this list, so I cannot comment the previous thread. But just to tell Wahlau and others that it really works. I can download Google Maps (not the Mobile version, but the standard PC one), access my Java-enabled bank account webpage, and others. I think the ports were developed by a nice guy called Alexander. I think he's developing many things at the Garage. Anyway thank him very much. The packages are not well packaged :) So that it is not easy to install them, because the application manager cannot do it. You must use dpkg from an x-term. If you find it a difficult task just let me know. Ah, it's important to have installed the minimo package previously. Salut.

I was kind of campaigning for that back then it was specified (when we were making the 770), however, not everybody did agree with me and it was not me that was going to decide it anyway, so it is thus the way it is now - English - 12 hour clock Finnish - 24 hour clock. Military personnel in the US, for example, use a 24-hour clock as do many international corporations. Visitors to the US may see the N800 and decide to purchase one at a local CompUSA and be disappointed that it uses US time. Well, I use English language on my N93 and it does the same thing and it is pretty odd for me since I would prefer to use English + 24 hour clock and I have used to the 24 hour clock. But one can't ever get everything and it is not possible to please everybody always at the same time. Karoliina, And to make it more fun to see a 24 hour clock in English install panel clock.

[maemo-users] Usage
All, Just so I can see how my usage patterns and view of the 770/n800 mesh with the community I'd be curious to know if I'm alone in the way I treat my noki. It is to me a palmtop not a PDA. I use it to increase my mobility and decrease my load, carrying it instead of a laptop. To me my 770 is a laptop replacement. I'm in charge of multiple data centers and it's a joy not having to lug a laptop out to dinner etc, in case I get an emergency call. However I get the feeling most here see it as either a PDA (like a palm) or as a multimedia device (ala windows mobile or an iPhone). Forgive me, I'm accustomed to thinking in use cases I guess. For me the #1 app is osso-xterm and what I miss the most is ping. James ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: [maemo-users] Usage
Why do you associate PDA w/necessarily having or not a PIM? PDA (to me) means same thing as palmtop. I look at N800 as PDA/palmtop...not UMPC/tablet. My iPAQ 4700 pda can do everything the N800 can do and more (at this point anyways). ssh, rdesktop, vnc, etc. I sure don't consider it a laptop replacement though...neither do I the N800. There are devices for your wrist (wach), for your hand (pocket pc, pda, palmtop) and larger for your hand (umpc, tablet pc). mike James Sparenberg wrote: All, Just so I can see how my usage patterns and view of the 770/n800 mesh with the community I'd be curious to know if I'm alone in the way I treat my noki.

Is it safe to just use ext3 formated RS-MMC? I use ext2. All is done from 770, no need for outer box. I am thinking about switching to RS-MMC since I work on linux both on desktop/laptop. Will this work out of the box or do I need to modify fstab? For sure. You need another mount point. Go to maemowiki. All steps are described to do that. And... It is pure fun to find all man pages and ask the list for advice. Best regards Zoran ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
