Honestly, Easy Debian doesn't make any sense at all for a Fremantle Star. What I'd much rather see is Maemo coming inline with upstream Debian or Ubuntu so it isn't necessary.

Copy paste karma whoring anybody? Additional content to validate this post:

If certain conclusions about certain rumors around Ubuntu and Nokia are to be believed, then this may very well be the case for Fremantle. We'll know for certain soon enough.

I have been thinking about and admiring Liqbase more and more lately. It occurs to me that it is very similar to Mind Mapping programs -- the point is, you should be able to link stuff with very free-form abandon such as you get when drawing in Liqbase. So, I would like someone to adapt liqbase into being usable in a more hierarchical way -- look at Mindmeister.com and imagine liqbase's mapping ability applied, as you whip from node to node and draw lines freely.

I will never stop advocating that some company like Nokia put some real money into developing some appealing voices for Linux, for use in text to speech. Can't you imagine the commercials now, with a tablet saying to the user, "what can I do for you now, doll" in a sexy voice. Well, maybe that's a bit crass, but I'll take one!

I am less impressed with Debian on my tablet as time goes by, which is funny, since I am in Debian on my desktop computer as I type now.

There ought to be some really great way to reward the true heroes who hang out here. Lcuk is the latest -- people who are truly user-friendly and ambitious and -- well, everything. Maybe specific awards would just make people resentful. Anyway, I appreciate these cool people!

Your ability to rephrase my statements shows an excellent comprehension of the material. A+.

I would prefer that instead focusing on text to speech technology, focus on speech to text technology. I used to train handicapped people using voice activation, using Dragon Dictate on windows and it worked flawlessly. This was on Pentium 133mhz systems.

That would be one handy little dictation machine. They could also incorporate the technology in their mobile phones for texting.

It could be the next big thing, we could be talking to our phones again

It's what I get for posting distracted.

Well, I'm a big Nuance /Dragon Naturallyspeaking fan, so I agree with that in spades. When you make a trully Speech-to-text workable tablet, you can do away with keyboards in many cases.

It always irritates me (though not at you in this context) when people talk about speech-to-text in connection with handicapped people. I'm not handicapped and I want it! Typing is not that fast or fun on a tablet and no pocketable keyboard can fix that.

But making decent voices has to be a lot easier than recognizing all those voices out there, which is what speech to text has to do.

I'll echo some of the previous posts, please get it together and offer up some decent PIM and ToDo apps, seems to me and others that this should been included a long time ago...

Also, please make sure that they're not dependent upon web access. I want the apps/data on my N810 not in the clouds somewhere...I don't always have internet access all day...

I know that some people don't buy a N8xx just because of this....

Thanks!

If I'm limiting this to individual apps instead of system wide changes, then please give the abiword team a hand. Also, some work into integrating a PIM sweet (any one really) would go a long way to making OS2009 feel more professional.

dm-loop, and many other features and many (performance, security, reliability) improvements are easily available once the kernel doesn't depend on the proprietary wlan module anymore.

Learn from Sharp. Their Zaurus was forever stuck with an ancient 2.4 kernel...

geneven,

whilst what you are entering now is unstructured, it contains enough information to be loosely tied together and an additional tagging interface will emerge as its fully constructed later.

I store all the information currently available to a user of system and am working on tying together your sessions into streams (grouping pages saved near to each other in time gives a really nice set of documents)

(the visualisation looks really neat so far)

The next step is full grouping and management but for my current thinking that requires more screen estate and a database to be done effectively.

I prefer to walk before I run
