Toby Well even if it was possible, it isn't very good idea battery-wise. When running as AP battery would run out _very_ quicky since AP mode cannot use WLAN power saving and need to communicate a lot. Also the speed of WLAN in N800 isn't exactly great. So basically you would get expensive and slow access point with touscreen and high resolution display. GPRS isn't high bandwidth and there are many place with electricity (anywhere your car is for example :), GPRS coverage but otherwise without internet connection so I wouldn't dismiss so quickly the usefulness of an AP mode for the N800.

Re: bluetooth GPS receiver
Hi again, finally I got the i-Blue 737 in ebay by 56.50eur plus post (around 70eur), not at home yet. I still like, so much, q818 but it was quite expensive... next time. Anyway, thanks to everybody for your advice and tips. Next step, maemo mapper :-) Regards from Barcelona, David Hello again, just something extra. Qstarz also uses the MTK-chipset, but is more available in Europe (I bought mine from a shop in the Netherlands I believe or in Belgium ...). Anyway, I also contacted I-blue I think and they said that someone in Germany will also distribute them maybe. That is if you really want I-blue instead of Qstarz. They both sell devices with the MTK-chipset. I would have a look at the Qstarz Q818 maybe. It uses an update MTK-chipset I think. Greetings, Michel Hello, I've read not so bad comments about nemerix ... However, there are maybe downsides to it ... I recommend to jave a look at http://www.gpspassion.com/. A good article: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67511 I have the Qstarz Q810 (with MTK-chipset). I recommend he MTK-chipset It should be on par or even better than Sirfstar III. I-blue 737 also has the mtk-chipset. However, an update for the Qstarz Q810, the Q818(?) has been released I think. Ayway, I recommend you to have a look around (maybe other sites). Hopefully this helps you. Greetings, Michel SiRF III is the key factor. I have not used that model but use the nokia ld-3w and it's quite good On 4/24/07, David Grau Serra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all list, (It's my first post and my english is getting rusty, I am from Barcelona) I'd like to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver for my N800, my friend recommend me a i-blue gps receiver -- http://www.iternet.com.tw/b-gps/ps3200-f.htm This one is with technology Nemerix and not with SiRF III.

Yes but if you plan to keep it on charger, you can do same thing with cheap AP at 1/10 of N800's price and use N800 freely. Still agreed that it could be useful sometimes.

App for resizing images?
I'm looking for an application that allows me to view and resize JPEG images from my digital camera on my N770. I don't need lots of features, I just want to look at my images and then resize some of them for web use. A command line tool will do for the latter. I searched maemo.org, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks, Hans ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: email scroll problem with stylus on 770
Hi Tony. I too have noticed this behavior on my 770. A brief search bugzilla does not appear to show this feature as being reported. Perhaps someone can correct my oversight? Regards, J. I am running 770 with OS 2006 v 3.2006.49-2 When I try to use my stylus to scroll an email message, it will scroll for half a dozen lines or so then stop and this little square appears. I can't do anything with the square except make it go away by clicking outside of it. If I try again it will scroll again for a few lines then the square appears again. Does any else experience this problem? What is the little square? There is an image of the screen at the following link. http://webpages.charter.net/furball/nokia/770.jpg Tony K. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201
Jonathan, thanks for verifying that gpsbabel works with the maemo platform. Do you have a scatchbox environment for the N770 arround? If yes, can you compile the gpsbabel version for the N770 as well? Thanks, Rainer Am Samstag, 5.

Laurent GUERBY wrote: It's hard to find an AP that does bluetooth+GPRS or GPRS, do you have a reference? Well, you could still use bluetooth phone attached to N800 as a default gateway for other devices on the net even if N800 is not AP. I don't have reference to AP with bluetooth built in but I guess any linux based wlan router with usb ports can use bluetooth dongle or phone attached directly over USB. Asus WL-500gP is nice (266MHz MIPS CPU, 32MB RAM, 2xUSB 2.0 ports, 2.4 based linux kernel) and relatively cheap piece of hardware. I'm using it with USB CDMA modem. It can do GPRS with attached phone too. Could probably work with USB BT dongle with some hacking.

Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201
Rainer, Sorry, I don't have a 770 scatchbox. And scatchbox is not entirely my favourite environment after a frustrating time failing to compile an otherwise largely trivial GTK/glade app, compounded by the twisty little maze of broken Google links after the maemo.org site upgrade. Anyway, building gpsbabel for maemo is trivial --- just type 'make'. And at http://www.daria.co.uk/gps/ there is a simple CLI application to display and set WBT-201 settings, which also compiles for maemo. -jonathan On Sun, 20 May 2007 22:22:29 +0200 Rainer Dorsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jonathan, thanks for verifying that gpsbabel works with the maemo platform.

Liferea
Greetings folks, Maybe Im just using it incorrectly, but I have been using the RSS feeder but it just doesnt work how I want. Has anyone attempted a port of liferea for the N800? I like how it gives a headline and the body of the rss in another pane, its kind like email style but everything in a big list in the default RSS reader doesnt work for me.
