Windows Update?

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

restricts that are places on you by apple. there is a way around it obviously by jailbreaking. and I hate itunes.. again, there is a way around that to. I guess I've just been anti apple for so long for whatever reasons that I'm making up excuses not to get one.

I don't know if id consider installing a windows update hacking around. just like I don't consider the system updates for the n810 hacking around. how often did you have to do that?

I think windows update is a minor inconvenience compared to what people go through getting things to work and not having things work etc.

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

Fair enough.

I'm not sure what he was doing either. My comment was largely TIC.

I'm not following your question. Installing system updates for the n810? Hacking around (in Windows or Linux)?

You have to admit that's going to depend entirely on what you're used to. Having moved from Vista to Linux entirely over a year ago, the tablet was significantly easier for me than my previous experiences with WinMo.

At any rate, the point of my comment was that Windows Update is a large reason people have to go through getting things to work and not having things work.

Damn it. This thread has gotten sooo long in such a short time. Really having issue with following everything here, especially when some posts are OT.

Did anyone manage to come up with a list of stuff/features/functions which the NIT really shines (OTS, off the shelf)?

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

Why do you need someone else to make a list for you? What I think makes the NIT really shine, you might think is useless.

Make your own list. That way, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

Because other people's opinions and experiences may open up new doors for me (and possibly others reading this thread), and may show uncharted territories. One's experience can only be so finite/limited.

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

Opinions are just that - opinions. If someone were to create your list for you, it's a pretty safe bet that the very next post would tear it to shreds.

Look, this thing (770, N8x0) is a computer. Not quite a specialized as a PDA, or a GPS, or a PMP. Not quite as general-purpose as a desktop. Within those parameters, you are free to do with it whatever your imagination can come up with.

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

You're getting this all wrong. I'm not asking people about "tell me how I should use my NIT"...it's not "for" me.

Let's interpret this "Did anyone manage to come up with a list of stuff/features/functions which the NIT really shines (OTS, off the shelf)?"

1. It's a question.
2. Requesting information on stuff / features / functions of NIT.
3. Information from Point 2 has to be supplied from another person.
4. Information from Point 2 requires comparison with technological feasibility of today (rather than from a wish-list) to determine if a particular stuff/feature/function is relative better, poorer, no-better/no-worse or undetermined.

Re: N810 is totally useless.
 

Ok, I'll grant you that. So, re-read what I said, and make the appropriate "person" changes. If someone were to make a generic "the NITs are really good at xxxx" list, someone would follow-up with a "you're full of xxxx" response.
