That's a very good point!

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

i read in another thread that someone was printing directly to a bluetooth hp printer by using the 'send to bluetooth' function on the tablets.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

I mentioned that very slightly :p "lots of printers can have the file obexed to them"

But it's not a good solution:
1. Most, 3rd party apps do not have a send to.
2. This relies on the printer recognising the content. Try it with a doc file for example.

Come think of it, will 4.1 have lockable desktop applets & snapping turned off?
And will 4.0 apps be compatible? I think so because of the .1

I was doing that with images, to my HPC6180 (a very nice multifunction printer if anyone is in the market). Have not been able to get any other sort of file to work.

But maybe not easy enough.

What would be cool is the ability to send a file from the N8xx to a networked printer (via a computer on the same network) wrapped in a print job object. You'd send it to a watched spool directory and BLAM! --out it goes to the printer. Technically possible, but would likely require software installation on both the tablet and the computer involved...

Eh, print to PDF accomplishes exactly this fairly easily.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

Really? My only experience with print to PDF is solely on a single workstation. But if that's the solution, then it should be "bugged"! Unfortunately bugzilla is still crashing on me...

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

Well, the point being that printing to PDF is a easy way to interface with just about any decent printing system without a whole lot of extra effort on either side.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

So, it's all but certain that the N810 WiMAX Edition will be announced next week, PhoneBoy has Twittered about upgrading his N8x0s to a new internal build of Diablo, and someone's going through maemo bugzilla, commenting on what is, and isn't, fixed in a new Diablo build. Given all that, anyone care to guess when Diablo will become available to us, the unwashed masses? Also, what are your thoughts on a simultaneous release for all three N8x0 devices this time? I don't expect Nokia want a repeat of the N810-firmware-on-N800-tablets affair from last fall, but maybe that's just me.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

Either way, I want it now!

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

I'd guess there'll be a new firmware release for N8x0 the same time the N810WE is available, hopefully 1st April (i.e. next Tuesday).

It's worth bearing in mind that this is the last major release the maemo team committed to releasing for the N800. There are three ways of reading that:

1) It'll possibly be the last for the N810 too, since they're effectively the same h/w.
2) The N800 will get dropped, but the N810 won't. The Hacker Editions are bound to be easier to produce, though.
3) The N800 will get upgrades as long as the N810 does, probably into Elephanta at least.
