Yes, 'copy protected content' is what I meant. I was trying to avoid 
the D-word.

I don't know if internet-search-applet sources are available or not, it could 
be fine if it would have isearch-edit functions built in or easily accessible 
from it besides than supporting a wider range of URL.
If it is too hard to improve internet-search-applet in this way I could suggest 
IMVHO internet-search-applet doesn't look an application so hard to replace for 
his current functions.

I think just before re-flashing your linux again you should do update
from command line:

Start Internet connection and:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get dist-upgrade

If you have some timeouts or error you will find the exact reason
there in output. Copy it here in maemo-users if you can't fix it.

Heh, most of the content on the Intertubes is copyrighted by someone.
You are probably thinking about accessing content that has been crippled
with Digital Restrictions Management technology.

Jac,

I would say Nokia has some catching up to do.

Ironically, Microsoft itself, with its online services is rapidly moving 
away from IE browser proprietary technologies and toward the use of the 
AJAX paradigm.

The Microsoft Office Live service (similar to Godaddy, etc.) works that 
way so it supports IE6. IE7, and Firefox 2.0 but not Safari (at least 
not on Windows).

Yesterday  I used my N800 to access the service by means of 
Bluetooth<=>Verizon Wireless EVDO<=>Verizon Wireless Internet.

Once I was authenticated to the service it worked albeit with difficulty 
given the small screen size of the N800. Having said that, it is 
actually possible, using the N800 browser, to perform www page editing 
using the (albeit somewhat crude) www page Site Designer/Page Editor 
application that is a part of the OfficeLive service. The N800 with its 
small screen size is really not practical for this kind of activity but 
the fact that it even works at all is significant given Microsoft's 
historical intransigence regarding the support of Non-Microsoft 
technologies/frameworks.protocols. etc.

Best Regards,

Yep, same here. I was in Waterloo Station in London and the Cloud WiFi 
has free access to the Nokia Music Store... except Nokia then say "No 
sorry" to the N800. Sad really...
