Hi everybody
My elder brother had bought a nokia navigation device for his car.

After hacking & unlocking process.it turns into a real computer.
Im using igo gps software instead of nokia's software.
And there is a software package called miopocket.
it is very usefull within a lot of application.

Linux is way more like a "real computer" than Windows CE is. Also, Windows CE is not "real computers" ' Windows.

Also, who was that blogger who said that Nokia and Microsoft were "bitter rivals"?

Your entire post shows why they should not be running something that is not Linux. Did I have to hack my tablet to play films? No, all that was required was me enabling Extras and installing MPlayer. Bada bing, bada boom.

If the tablets ran XP, that'd mean they'd have to use an X86 processor. Since that'd totally **** up battery life, it would defeat the point of "tablets".

I apologise for the tone that I employed in this post. That's all, however.

No reason to give the guy so much grief, he's just asking. That's how we learn. ;)
