Hi,

I'm thinking about buying a n810, but I've got some questions about it.

I'm a (long time) Palm user (Zire 71) and use it mostly for reading eBooks and blogs posts converted with plucker.

I know that FBReader can read that sort of file, but I've tryied the windows version and to read pluckers files I nedd to import them to the library, which is a lot of work (more than 90 file per day, I know it's crazy... ) my question is, is there a way of loading the library automatically? when I delete a file from the library will it delete it fisically? Can FBReader open files from the card?

I could use an RSS reader, but I don't want to be connected to read.

I also have developed some programs for the Palm for my personal use, I know I can rewite them for the n810, but is there a library to do date aritmethics (ie, can I know the time elapsed between two dates), one of my program is for accounting my work time... the others are expenses trackers and loan calculation, which seems easy to be ported (need to refresh my c knowlege or python).

I also use an iPaq (h3850 - PPC 2002) for listening to podcast at work, I know that canola works. But does it plays from the card? I only nedd mp3 support.

Wich type of card does the n810 support? MiniSD?

Why do I focus mainly on the card? Because I have all the thing working on a linux box at work, and I don't have internet access at home (a decision), and every day I copy all the files to a card and use them with the Palm or the iPaq.

Is there an application for getting the data from the GPS (when it works)? Like speed, location so it can alert me to the speed alert or other POI... I do not need a navigation system.

Essencialy I want to subtitute this two devices by only one and the Nokia n810 seems a good substitute.

Thanks,
