IBM was God around here.

Back to the original topic (BTW, my forum editor does have spell check):
If you use rtcom-beta-os2008 you don't need Pidgin. Yes it's beta, but it works flawlessly for me.

My N800 is my favorite toy (well, maybe my second favorite toy). It is exactly what I expected when I bought it, a Linux device that can be endlessly configured. I never grow bored with it. If you did your research you would have known what it was before you spent the money. Anybody who spends that much money without doing the research first is a fool.
I looked at rtcom, didn't like it, and wasn't able to install it anyway. Too many dependencies. I did research, but there wasn't much available to me originally that I was aware of. Hindsight is 20-20. Like I have said, there are things that are nice on the NIT, and a lot that is missing. Unfortunately, as usual, no one device does it right. Had the Ipud an SD card, replaceable battery and flash, and wasn't married to Itunes, it would be about as close as you could get. I didn't buy one for those reasons, so one must weigh the plusses and minuses. The app store does give the Ipud a boost, though
