Slim pickings today. I may go slightly orthogonal if it stays this way, but I'm sticking with just the one blog.

Will your favorite file format last?

>>If you have eReader or MobiPocket books, for example, how convinced are you that you'll be able to use them when you move to a linux handheld like the Nokia 770, for example?

This is a perennial discussion topic, in this case combining both computer formats and media/multimedia formats, including one close to my interests, e-book formats.

And Al at 770fan picked up on our discussion of Koen's GpsDrive port and did some poking around of his own there, discovering Koen's mention of Matthias Steinbauer's GPE-calendar port to Maemo. OK, I confess -- I don't want to think of the 770 as a PDA. I'm guilty of passing over that one in silence.

But really, which is more exciting, another calendar app on another device, or connecting a GPS receiver to the 770's 225-ppi, 800-pixel wide screen, both of which you can carry around with you? I rest my defense.
