I use Sync on Firefox.. so it will sync the tabs i use on my computer which i can then use in Firefox on the n900.

Ohh and i am using Firefox 2.0 Alpha on my n900.. It renders the webpages really fast.. I think fastest on the n900. Still little slow startup though.

Nephridium: I've been toying with your script but I can't seem to get it working with Queen Beecon Widget. Any advice?

Sorry, I've never used Queen Beecon Widget, while the name sounds enticing I'm not a huge fan of widgets on my mobile ;).

Maybe it has a problem with ncat waiting patiently in the background for any url, thus not "returning" (with an exit code) until you quit it?

Here is another method using SSH:

Code:

ssh <N900 IP address> dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"www.google.com"

Awesome, this one is the best solution yet. Slightly slower than mine, but more secure and no need to set up a "dedicated listening server" ;)

Ok, I managed to make a script that when it is executed, it will request a webpage to enter and then automatically send it over SSH.

For the script to work as I like, you need to have automatic authentication via RSA keys or whatever.

If anyone wants, I'll post it.

On the weekend (or whenever I get time), I'll make it request your N900 ip address for the first boot. As of now, it only works with an ip address specified in the script (192.168.2.6)

Only tested on Ubuntu 10.
