My only problem with it is that sometimes, when it should start a new song (first song or after it just played some), it just showes me the info for the next song and the small circle at the bottom is circling, but the song dosn't play. I can go to the next song, or go around in the menu without problems, just the next song refuses to play.

Otherwise, its just awesome.
geek: Can you describe the exact steps how did you install Canola on 770 (OS2007HE)? I just dug my old 770 from my drawer and started playing with it... I have managed to install even Skype on it without problems, but Canola seem a no go. I followed the step by step instructions in openbossa.indt.org web site but no joy. It seem that it installs incorrect version, since running from xterm it gives error message "Illegal instruction".

I tried even downloading the .deb and install from file but then application manager shows many missing packages. (Mostly python related...) I tried even installing Mediabox first (which installs python runtime), which worked fine and Mediabox works, though little slow on 770.
