Hi Folks,
I got the N810 Internet Tablet and I'm going to use it as a "N810 Linux PDA". I know people have asked for PIM and text editiing before, but searching through this forum, the wiki, maemo.org and google doesn't provide that many answers for OS2008.

I learned there are two simple ways to install additional software

1. Installing a program from http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008
2. Adding a repository, e.g. from http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...&system=maemo4 and install stuff via the program manager

Both can done by clicking on a link (green arrow) to an "install file" from the tablet. The latter is preferable. Am I right so far?

For offline PIM, there's only GPE 2.8 so far. We can expect to see Pimlico/O-Hand. GPE seems more advanced/stable. (I have used GPE 2.7 on OpenZaurus and except for some bugs in Calendar it was acceptable for me.) What are your PIM experiences? Anything usable on OS2008?

There's no GUI Text editor yet for OS2008.

Do people here plan to use the N810 or N800 for PIM and note taking (plain text)? What are your software choices?
