What do you use yours for
 

So it seems the n700/800/810 have made into the hands of alot of different people all with there own use for it. So what is your use for it? an what apps do you use. Im interested in what every one is using there device for.

Il set the ball rolling, my device (n800 os2008) has two rolls for me, one its handy for taking down lecture notes on, insted of having to lug about the laptop or a notebook and pen.

The second is for doing a few basic security consultancy checks basic recon stuff really, as well as taking notes on stuff I find or need to check later.

So what do I run on mine,

well we have:

nmap
dsniff
aircrack-ng suit
wget
curl
tcpdump
php-cli
apache
[added in a edit]
python
ruby
greasemonkey

( at the moment im keeping the list small, more than likely once my new mmc card gets here an I set it to boot from there though I will get a bigger kit on it )

Something in between paperweight and bathtub browser...

It works great as a flashlight!

Re: What do you use yours for
 

pizza stone, hammer, table shim

Streaming music gps navigation geocaching and primary browser device since my laptop died.

There is something cool about putting the n800 in my pocket and having im and call possibilities while listening to music.

Now look here! I'd say that's pretty personal and -- Oh, you meant the Nokia tablet?

Re: What do you use yours for
 

I use mine for blogging, internet radio, keeping up with jaiku, and gaming. Some browsing, as well.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

FBReader and linux playground.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Always-on browser (no need to boot up the pc for piddly tasks), IM, Calendar/scheduler.

I'd like it to replace my mp3 player, but it hasn't yet.

roflmao :p

Working on getting it to control my toaster since it is slowly taking over every task my 20 other incompatible devices used to do individually. Could someone create an app to control my car remotely. :)

That actually gave me a laugh!

There is a wiki spot to post your personal use of the NIT's...

"There is a wiki spot to post your personal use of the NIT's..."

Yes, Maybe this whole thread should go there.

I am listening to NPR and browsing now. I have started using SCID to go through
Alekhine's My Best Games of Chess 1908-1923.

I find the N800 valuable to keep a copy of technical docs while I fiddle with other computers.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

I'd say, "No" so far. ;)

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Irc. IM. Surfing. VNC. Pr0n. :D

Re: What do you use yours for
 

I use mine as a replacement to a laptop I recently gave away. Am also exploring the use of MIDs i alternative Bible study situations.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Streaming music and watching porn or flash ads on news seem to be the favorite uses of my 800. I just got a BT keyboard so I am going to try to it for more basic document and spreadsheet computing. Still missing some PIM stuff..

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Listening to music, web browsing, VNC to help my younger sis with her PC problems when im away, lots of notes-to-self, movies for trips and some gaming (cant stop playing mahjong and AislePiot).
Btw i use my n800 alot to SHOW OFF in front of iPhone/iTouch owners thanks to iTablet, PyAno, mplayer and of course, CANOLA2 !!!! :)

Re: What do you use yours for
 

You so need a screen protector...

Re: What do you use yours for
 

I use mine as a home automation controller/front end. Controls my alarm panel, lighting (insteon devices), thermostat, and of course mythTV boxes. Also fantastic as a SIP phone (OS 2008 SIP is AMAZING... sound quality is better than my Cisco business sets!), IM (thank you RTCOMM update) and media player. I also use it to control my Jeep. (Well, technically it's just controlling the openWRT mp3 player in the Jeep, but there's nothing quite as cool as pulling out your N800, connecting to a wifi AP named "Jeep" and using it to control the tunes and setup playlists/etc).

Also just picked up one of those blue tooth laser keyboards, so I'm hoping that with the upcomming new email client I'll get some better email use out of it.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Bad plan. Return that garbage ASAP. There is nothing worse than a laser keyboard.

Get yourself an iGo Stowaway if you need a keyboard.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

What do you use for home automation? The orbiter project?
Thanks.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

I use mine most of the time just as an internet browser, as a truck driver with limited storage its alot easier than a laptop, as a music & movie player though more of a novelty with those two... at least till I get the a2dp working
also as a gadget to see how many people I can get to ask, what kind of phone is that?

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Ha Ha! People ask me that all the time! It just goes to show you how mobile this world has become.

Re: What do you use yours for
 

Besides the usual email, internet browsing and music player i use it a lot for reading articles/books/manuals, is good to have something small in the lab that i can carry around and place anywhere. I'm working now to keep some references and calculators as web pages (tell me what you think).
