Re: Wanted Software?

Is there an off-line browser available? For a portable wifi device wouldn't this seem like a natural application to have?

You could use wget, then open the site locally. I also believe Plucker is available - both at maemo.org.

Re: Wanted Software?

Is anyone interested in porting ThinkRock? This is a very interesting mind mapping program. See here: http://www.thinkingrock.com.au/

Re: Wanted Software?

What I would like to see are GUI implementations of:

LISP
PROLOG
BASIC

Some of us aren't Python programmers.

Hi there,

I found a great app that allows you to download the complete HTML-pages of rss-feeds for offline browsing/reading.

It's called Feedelity and is available via

Tahitibob's Website

Just install the *.deb, add a feed, update, press "download" and got to "offline" in Feedelity. Now, when clicking "view" for a news item, the web-browser launches with Feedelity's cached version of the Website instead of the "live" URL.

Have fun!

Re: Wanted Software?

I second the Newton's notepad. I still fire up the old newton in my closet just to play around with the notepad. As soon as a handheld duplicates that program I will buy it in an instant. I could scratch out words all day. (Those that have used it know what I mean.)

Re: Wanted Software?

Just for curiosity, someone know where i can find description of this newton notepad, with some screenshoot ?

Re: Wanted Software?

Note for the next : look in the en version of wikipedia and not in the french one ...

The equivalent of the Newton Notes program (ask me about it)

LyX (would need GhostScript as well)
"Normal" Firefox (as in: Fully functional)
Painting program like ArtRage
A "resume last file", or even better: "resume last X files", option in mplayer
Easy middle- and right-click emulation (so that I can open ITT threads each in their own tab)

I have lots more, but those are the urgent ones. When can I expect the programs to be ready? :rolleyes:

Karel, remember MoreInfo for the Newton? That would be killer on this device, and if the Newton could pull it off back in 1997, I see no reason why this would not be possible on the NiT :)

And yes, full screen handwriting recognition would be a blessing, cursive or otherwise. I was tinkering about with my iPaq 3970 a couple of days back and somehow found Transcriber's use of the full screen refreshing, compared to the limited area of the input panel on the NiT
