Re: Configure N800 via VB.NET app

:o But that was a long time ago....

Wouldn't setting the browser always on top suffice?

Well, I suppose then the browser could always crash / be exited...

Re: Configure N800 via VB.NET app

If I'm going to do this, I might as well do it right. The basics as pointed out in my first post would work, but as you said, there are problems that could arise. A fully stripped install would reduce the number of problems dramatically, and produce a much nicer product overall. Should I start a new post asking for paid help? Or is that frowned upon in these forums?

A matter of perspective (but, admittedly, I'm not really the target market). :p Personally, a remote that also lets me ssh into my server, play solitaire and read ebooks is way more appealing than a remote that's just a remote. ;)

Would it totally kill your market to also provide a software-only option that doesn't completely take over the device? :D

No, not frowned upon, but they've typically been rather unproductive in the past. The demographic here is largely regular users, who have no skills, or the hobby-hacker, who either don't have the skills you're after or are already 'employed' elsewhere (students, programmers, etc). The people-with-skills-that-are-unemployed crowd don't tend to make as much of an appearance.

There's no harm in trying, though. ;)
