I've had no issues updating on PPC and Intel Macs ... from 770 through to N810 with the 770 Flasher app.
Best way I know is:
1 - Back up.
2 - Power Down
3 - Start up 770Flasher, accept the warning
4 Connect USB Cable to the tablet and when pressing the power on, hold the home key. You don't have to hold the home key, but I've found it makes the flasher connect more reliably.
5 - Watch it go! Takes less than a minute.
You can see it in action here - (second video) http://www.maemoapps.com/2007/04/12/...ody-installed/
Also - 770Flasher is available here: http://www.bleb.org/software/maemo/

Just ordered N800 online - yay!
I believe I will want OS2008 - someone got a link to an overview of the pros/cons?
I use a Mac (Intel/Panther) and have watched the vid referenced above.
Q: Will the 770Flasher bring a new 800 up to 2008? The vid is just over a year old...
Surveillance shows most users rather 2008 and most apps, etc are ported by now. Anyone want to argue that opinion here? Figure I've got a few days to work out the best course of action to take when the unit arrives - and this forum seems like one of the better ones I have EVER seen on the internet. In fact, it helped me decide to take the leap and buy one...
Looking forward to the N800, and whatever feedback comes from here.

all good - I just flashed an N810 last night with 770Flasher.app and it still rocks. I'm using a MacBookPro now and have been using the app since the 770 and I was on PPC Macs.

I do this after every OS2008 install:
rm -rf /home/user/MyDocs/.[a-z]*/*
no more silly videos, pdfs, images, etc. that I don't care about
I also like to nuke other locale files, and help files..
