I've been without NITDroid for months now and have been waiting for ammyt's latest update on migrating everything to U-boot but I'm itching to dual-boot again.
The answer to your question is in the thread you linked. I'm not sure what type of flash is used for the area the kernel is stored in, but worst case you'll get 10,000 writes out of it (it might take a lot more). Multiboot will only flash a new kernel when you change your choice, so do you really think you'll use multiboot anywhere near the 10,000 times it will take to wear out the flash where the kernel is stored? So no, it isn't really risky.

That's also how i see it, based on their discussion. But if I recall correctly, ammyt's working on using U-boot instead of Multiboot because of certain risks. I hope he drops by to clarify this.

I don't think we should be distracting him too much right now, his exams are coming.
It's completely understandable if he puts NITDroid development to the side though it would be great he could still drop by from time to time.

Actually I am working on u-boot, you can see it here: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=73.0

Now working on camera... wait for a more noob-like guide from blackjack4it... it will also add a bootmenu option

depends on the card ... i have to notice that uboot can also (as multiboot) load from emmc - you just have to repartition the device - my brother's n900 works with method 2 and u-boot http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_install_on_EMMC

Has anyone seen this mod for the HP Touchpad?

WebCM9...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQB4Z7ziXpk

It adds a webOS style card and swipe system to ICS task-switcher. Looks very cool.

Would be great if we had it on nitdroid too?

Was this one-sentenced rant supposed to contain anything useful? I was not able to decipher it, i'm sorry.
