Hi guys, I don't own an n810 but am really considering getting one. I just wanted to know of their is any bittorent client that works on the n810. Also, is their anyway to create and/or edit microsoft (or anything compatable with microsoft) documents such as word, powerpoint, and excel. Thanks in advance to everyone for your time.

Wow, all of a sudden everyone wants a bittorrent client. There have been several posts reacently about this. You can search for the program "transmission"

Pipeline ported it and created a deb for it

I believe that word documents can be edited using AbiWord, and Gnumeric handles excel spreadsheets, but I'm not sure if they have been ported to N810 yet. I've not heard of an app that reads/writes powerpoint documents, though.

Of course, a palm OS emulator called Garnet has been made available for the N810. You may be able to find a Palm OS app that edits MS office documents, and use Garnet VM to get them working on your Internet Tablet!

I don't have any Internet Tablet, so I can't verify any of this information.

YARR!

abiword and gnumeric were in fact ported to n810, and it works beautifully, but i dont think they can use MS formats. however, you can isntall OOO(openoffice), i saw a post about that somwhere (you need to isntall another application istaller, and then OOO, all of that takes up ~1.3gb)

Besides OOO, you can also view and edit texts, spreadsheets and powerpoint (ppt : view I m sure, edit not sure) if you have gmail -> documents.

I can add that under Diablo Transmission works perfectly, it had been hampered prior with random network 'fritz's'.

I use gnumeric alot, works great! Not used a WP, i'm waiting for a speech-to-text application, as anything more text heavy than 6 lines makes my hands hurt!

Don't you mean Abiword and OOO run in a chroot of a debian armel directory? Java works in FF3 (iceweasel) as well.

The only thing you won't be doing is 3d graphics with hw acceleration.

Thats why we got the fun games like q1, q2, dooms, and duke nuke.

The n810 is only limited by what you can think up.

As for torrents.
I use n770 with OS2007 as my home linux server so I tried a few bt clients to find which one will be most suitable for that purpose (multiple instances on screen + apache + sshd + internet radio streaming without killing this little one).
I've found ctorrent to be quite resources hungry.
The best one for me is aria2c downloader - I do recommend.
