Heads up...if you use your Nxxx tablet in mass storage mode on a Mac, watch out for the ".Trashes" folders that get created on your device which could soak up quite a bit of storage without you knowing it.

I found out I had 10GB of junk stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.Trashes which was from me deleting things on my N900 from my Mac while it was plugged in under Mass-Storage mode. I keep forgetting that the Mac does this. I was wondering where all my storage on the N900 was going, seemed like it was full and I didn't really have that much on there.

Just delete these folders if you see them. I might work up a script which does it automatically (or maybe one of you have one already? Share please?)
