jpj:

Excuse my ignorance (so far I don't own a 770/N800 but hope to soon, and my experience with flash memory cards extends only to picture taking) but a question: with a 4 GB SD card, can the user format it such it consists of two equal size partitions (ie 2GB each) and therefore benefit from the more desireable 512 byte cluster granularity ?

Please keep up the outstanding development work on Maemo Mapper --- I'm looking forward to using it often when I purchase my Nokia IT. Thanks. !
