Update: Yes, Opera Mini runs fast enough, but it seems to have some interaction bugs under this system... Can't seem to enter text into a text field properly. The OK button doesn't do anything...

Nope. Not going to either 
I played OpenArena on my N900 on the bus last night. Mobile phone games just don't do it for me.

I'm sorry, but you're just wrong. The N900 busybox tar very definitely does support gzip compression. It doesn't support bzip2 compression, however.
Type tar at the command line; it lists [czxtv0] as the valid options.
I had typed:
Code:
tar cvfz filename.tar.gz filename.ext
I will delete my post.

This is indeed great stuff...made a quick Swing app that fetches some train timetables from a certain WWW-page. Works like a charm! 
Dak, have you had any luck registering the jar files so that one could start a Java app more easily?

@Xizor - I'm still tinkering with that 'auto run' mechanism.

PS. Did you originally download the wrong JRE? Is that why you got the "Headless" exception?
One thing I noticed is that the java application (using Swing) takes a really long time to start (almost 10 seconds). There probably is nothing that can be done to speed this up....

Yep...that's part of the overhead involved in setting up the JVM, loading all the bytecode, initializing it and then letting it run. I guess it's up to Sun to optimize this process, but I wouldn't expect significant improvement unless they can implement some safe 'lazy optimization' for startup.
But it's a 600MHz ARM chip....whaddayagonnado? Imagine how treacly that same code would run on a 600Mhz pentium
The important thing is that it runs respectably well once it is loaded. I'm pleased with it.
I think this leads to the inevitable conclusion that Java on the N900 should be used sparingly and with due consideration to the bandwidth limits we face.
My strategy, if I use it at all, will be to prefer crafting very thin, lightweight clients that provide a visual surface for a native core...accessed via JNI/sockets.
It would be really interesting to see a java application using the phones native API's via JNI.
