According to the Amertrade website, Streamer Suite (the thingee that streams stock quotes) requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or Mozilla 1.7.2 (Browsers that run on the Mozilla platform include Firefox 1.0 or later.)

Thus, minimo might work for you. Minimo is a small version of Firefox with many of the same features offered. Here is one way to download minimo:

1. From AppManager add this entry into "new catalogue":
web address: http://home.ufam.edu.br/~agan/minimo/
Distribution: bora
Components: user
2. Refresh your application list and browse installable applications.
3. Pick "minimo"

Now, it may be that this is more than a browser issue. Reading other posts suggests that javascript is ok for the n800 but it can't handle java applets.

If your stock streamer needs more java support, it may run if you install java VM. This process looks complex and apparently will take your system 2 minutes to boot after install...not for the faint of heart

Well, anyway, I didn't intend this thread to be about people's particular softward problems.

My general advice is going to be google, search this site, search maemo.org. That's what I'm doing. In this thread, I just wanted to list some general cool tips and tricks for a new N800 owner. So in that spirit here's a a list of repositories:

Anybody else have any ideas to for the new n800 user?
