Signature pad app for maemo tablets?

2010-02-12 Thread Lake Stevens Dental
A not so complicated maemo app to think about... It would be nice if there were a secure app (like the Topaz signature pad http://www.topazsystems.com/products/index.htm) for using any of the maemo tablets (770, 8xx, 900, etc) as a 'signature' device that could (preferably interactively) connect

FYI, Buy.com has the n810 for $180. Which is another way of saying, the end of the n810 series is near... It's still a great little unit, as is the n800. Wouldn't take a trip without it. Always, Fred Chittenden ___ maemo-users mailing list

Unzip utility for endusers

OK, perhaps I've missed it -- perhaps it's ready to bite my nose off while poking around Maemo. As a enduser, I can't find an unzip program that works with a single click to unzip downloaded files. Is there one? Or am I missing something when it comes to using it? Yes, there's unzip utility

James Knott Can Evolution sync with Google Calendar? I use GC to sync my N800 with Thunderbird Lightning. Yes -- Evolution Calendar can sync to Google Calendar -- at least the version I've got on Ubuntu 8.x does. As I recall, you copy and paste either the ical or html link in the

This sounds like a work in progress before it achieves general distribution. Sounds like a couple months out for general use, at best. I also noted in poking around that there's a KDE desktop showing on the n800. The last things folks doing this sort of development work need is to get
