32GB eMMC

- "Over" 1GB of ext3 mounted on /opt
- Remaining space mounted on /home/user/$MYDOCS as FAT32
- Bootloader
- Kernel
- rootfs
- FAT32 partition

ugh, i truely wish that some regulatory office would slap microsoft into including a open, unpatented FS in future os's, and pushed out ASAP as a update to existing ones, and make sure it follows the specs to a t, both present and future, no extensions or omissions...

After watching Peters videos, couple of questions came to mind..
How is notifications handled. ie if im in the browser and an IM or tweet comes in, will something pop up like the Pre?
Im guessing the usb is host, so can i just plug in a usb key and it will show up as mass storage?

A posibility to format 32G internal memory on ext2/ext3 ?

But that isn't so bad, icons and desktop file in /usr/share and application code, images, translations in /opt/application.
This is all conjecture though, as Nokia haven't announced yet how they intend developers to use /opt (although it's being left a little late!)

As GeneralAntilles points out in the thread qole links to, I'm not being sloppy with language here - and thought the difference between these two statements would be clear. Perhaps I should have made the first and the inverse of the second:
- Nokia does not support host mode.
- The N900 does not permit host mode.
The word "support" in the question was not the word the questioner was looking for - it's too vague and has too many meanings in IT.
What it usually means is, "hey, you may be able to do that, and more power to you if you do, but we aren't going out of our way to help you and we take no responsibility for how well you do it."
People misinterpret it thus: "well, you don't support it, so you obviously oppose it," like we were talking some sort of political process. It doesn't mean that. Often, technicians themselves use this line of reasoning to chase away people who are trying to do something, like "we told you we don't support that, and if you are having problems now, it's your own fault" as if people trying to do it are somehow immoral.
Users who do something that isn't supported are perfectly free to do so, but they can't expect help from a company that has announced that it won't help. That is all that "we don't support that" means.
