the n800, to me, seems optimal for resolution and size, maybe I'm getting old but I'd happily make it larger and more readable, the dell looks as if it has potential if android can be bypassed to run "on the metal"

That's why I mention a KVM. I want to be able to use my devices with keyboard, possibly mouse, and monitor. Or, for a media playing device, attach it to my TV to play movies and such.

Crap. Everyone, please yell out loud the following command to lock the root thought account.

$sudo passwd -l root

By the way discovered a cool thing about the n900 today using the emulator. If you start typing on the keyboard at the main desktop - it looks up the contact with those letters.

Ie I type bil - would look up Bill Jones etc

Probably everyone already knew that - but I didnt

they should've used a Nokia slipper :P

Also, I like keys (and I think many of the people who got the N900 do), so that thing isn't what the N900 should've been
