What is frustrating to me is all the amazing things I've already done with my N900 that I really don't want to sit down and type out all the awesome things. In the same hand, I can say with 100% certainty that my N900 works flawlessly. (I've probably just jinxed myself.
)
My uptime is currently over 10 days, and it was only restarted manually 10 days ago because of a test to see if the app-cache would clear under /. (It did)
Some things I have already done with my N900:
1. VPN into my work and controlled the point-of-sale system for over 800+ stores I babysit.
2. Sync'd all my calendar entries from my work to the N900 calendar.
3. Written and run my own tiny web-server in Perl that I can host web-pages off of.
4. Tuned my guitar with it.
5. Played Battletoads on the NES emulator and Super Mario Bros on SNES using a wii controller blue-toothed on an actual tv via tv-out cable.
6. Used Qik to do real-time video recordings over the web for a soccer game.
7. Watched some *cough* pirated t.v. shows using mplayer and kmplayer (mplayer will play everything that I've found) on our living room television using tv-out.
8. Streamed German internet radio through the FM transmitter into our surround sound speaker system in the living room.
9. Recorded a video of our cats fighting.
10. Taken numerous pictures.
11. Used VNC Viewer to control some of my LDAP boxes at my work which are running a KDE X-Windows.
12. Checked the weather.
13. Streamed mp3 music through my Jeep's stereo using the FM transmitter.
14. Played around with the GPS (though I already have another GPS in my Jeep so it was just for fun)
15. Numerous text messages via SMS, Google IM AND Skype.
16. Made a couple of Skype calls, and received a few.
17. Oh, made phone calls too.
There are quite a bit more things but I can't recall them all now. This phone has already become something I now rely on. Hard to imagine just 2 weeks ago I was living fine without it.
