Howzit Pang,

My very first post on this site. Thanks for informing about the flash. It will be a lot more than 30-50 times. EEPROMs (if it be) wil last WAY lot longer. Imagine how many times sectors gets written to before it 'naturally' becomes bad. No fear on this .... yet....bwaahaa! Reminds me of Dr Evil.

I'm seriously intrigued by this mobile computing device I bought - was waiting for it since March. The cellphone world in South Africa sucks. I saw the E7 and it will only arrive middle next year.

Anyway, I'm a UNIX guys - live UNIX completely...work&play. Never did any programming ever - except shell scripting and a tad bit of perl. Would love to start. So much info, so little time. Where to start? What to grasp firstly? ....and how do I su to root user on the device, so I can actually list all data and pipe it out to file? "user" user is super-restricted...

Sorry, lots of questions. Maybe you can help? Thanks.
