Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 

Python works for me too, but I thought it stood in the way of Canola installing. I reflashed and installed Canola first. No problem. Strange.

@Benny: No it's not just you, I think the only good thing in this 'minor update' is a bug fix: the screen responsiveness seems to be good now.

O yeah, they included a chat client: Skype without video to me is just another chat client. It's a waste of good memoryspace, so no install for me.

Makes you wonder what some in-the-know Nokia employee from Texas was hyping about in his -o so funny- riddles...
A buggy Flash 9? Skype without video? Yippee-ki-yay, bud!

Well said. I couldn't agree more. It's a shame we now have Skype on the 770/N800 while the long awaited SIP support is still not available natively. (Of course, there's SIP-support in Gizmo...)

I'd be more than happy if somebody who can do the coding would try to do something about it. OTOH, I'm not sure if porting an existing SIP-client would be The Right Thing(tm) to do: To be really useful, the client should integrate with the telepathy framework. Google for telepathy sofia and sip - there seems to be slow progress on this and it might be wiser to join these efforts than to port somthing like linphone etc.: These clients do their jobs well SIP-wise, but they have the same drawback Gizmo has: they dont integrate with the address book and the rest of the IM framework.

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 

My take is that the biggest feature is the Flash 9.

Talking about the video chat support, I never used/tried it before. What's my understanding is that it has not been removed... in fact it should have been improved! But to test that you need to make Gtalk call to another Gtalk user and after that you "should" be able to open the video. (I never used this feature... so someone who did please confirm this with this new firmware...) This is based on the fact that internal software testers were especially asked to test the video call feature of this new firmware... ;)

And the SDHC support, yes, it is there. While this is good I was slightly disappointed to notice that the transfer speed is about half of the speed that I had with old firmware and SDHC kernel patch. I assume in this firmware the bus clock speed is capped to 24MHz instead of 48MHz? Oh, and one more thing: The famous memory card corruption bug is claimed to be solved in this firmware... :D But we'll see...

Re: Flash 9 update
 

Nice idea. You should try it! :)

But my guess is that the plugin is optimized for the
N800's CPU (esp. soft float) and will thus not work
on the 770. But it's worth a try.

Has some tried BT headphones + mike? Not necessarily stereo. I d like to know if I can say good bye to those cables

"A lot of work has been done into increasing the battery life of the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Most of the improvements have been done around the wireless connection, resulting in remarkably longer online usages."

To me, probably the most important feature, especially if we start using the N800 for intensive telephony.
I guess we ll notice the difference after one day or so.

Can't this update be done much more simply?

Why is everyone reflashing?!

Re: Breaking News!
 

So far, pretty nice. I adjusted the screen sensitivity and it seems to work a bit differently now, but a slightly firm press will bring up the thumbboard reliably -- before it was too unpredictable (since the update).

Flash 9 supports webcams, so if there is a way to get it to see our nokia cams, we should be able to video conference using flash web apps (interoperable with all systems).
