Re: Wi-Fi speed on N800??

It has 802.11g, which would theoretically give you 54 Mbps.

In the real world, you will never see anything approaching those speeds. 20ish Mbps is pretty much it for g. N might get you closer to...

Re: Palm user: is it time to move to the Nxxx?

If the device works, even if the GPS isn't the best, to me it's still much better than carrying around two things, having to charge two things etc. Nothing is stopping you from getting a separate...

Re: Palm user: is it time to move to the Nxxx?

After a month with my n800, I've come to the opinion that it makes a great companion for a treo, but it doesn't replace one. it certainly offers a much better web browsing experience (mostly), and I...

Re: Maemo Mapper desktop app

Google earth works great. You'll just need to use GPSBabel to change the gpx into a KML.

Re: Offline mode disappeared

You'll need to get root somehow. I did it by installing an SSH server from the repository and SSHing into the tablet from my desktop, and then using vi to edit the file. I don't know what other...

Re: EEE PC or Laptop

Computer fundamentals haven't changed in the last 15 years. A laptop isn't going to teach you anything that your parent's 8 year old desktop won't, especially not an EEE, which bears little to no...

Re: 3 questiions and some curiosity to boot!

I'm not sure what the question is. The bulit-in RSS feed reader will read any standard RSS feed I've run across. I tend to use google reader in a web browser, though, since it's easier to keep track...

Re: just got my N800 yesterday and having a few problems

Maybe I can address part of your confusion. Unless you've changed the home page, the default home page is NOT on the internet, even though it appears to be. The home page is a local html page that is...

Re: removing sd cards?

I just pull mine out whenever, as long as there aren't any applications running that are accessing them (i.e. a media player or file manager or whatnot). I know the OS senses when the external SD...

Re: Newbie to the N800

The lack of exchange activesync kills me when it comes to e-mail on my n800.

I'd prefer to have the bigger screen of the n800 and the n800 would be a far better device for email if enterprise...

Re: pre-800 owner skeered away

microB is the name of the webbrowser on the n800. It's based on the gecko engine which is the same engine that firefox uses. There's also a port in progress of the "full" firefox web browser at the...

Re: pre-800 owner skeered away

If you take the n800 for what it is, out of the box, it's great. Few people buy an iPod to do things other than play music and videos. If you're going to buy an n800 to surf the net, play music and...

Re: Offline mode missing from power menu

Ok, I just answered my own question.

There is a file called "/var/lib/mce/mode" that needs to have either the word "normal" or "flight" in it. Mine had neither.

I simply edited it, and put...
