I too have an n810 that I bought on ebay and love!

I am no where near ready to give up on this device....

use for media and podcasts, fbreader, evince and some video.

no skills in programming but can contribute with graphics, pr or marketing.

even though I don't know about mer, willing to try.

my latest wild idea is to use the n810 as a graphics tablet via bluetooth with the ipad with sumopaint!
