* Firmware maker (as in, making an "upgrade image" - Nokia has not given out information on the FIASCO format -but- it's a matter of simply asking for it I believe)

stskeep,
I haven't seen anyone ask these questions and I'm burningb to know.
1) Since mer works on both devices, is it faster on the SmartQ since it has a faster processor?
2) What things don't work on the mer version of the smartQ that do work on the N8*0?
3) Given the choice of both units and now the same OS, which hardware would you buy today if they were both side by side in a store? That small form factor looks awesome next to the oversized N800.
Thanks in advance.

Woah.. a 7" tablet, with those easthetics looks kinda nice. And if, like the Q5, it can run Mer ... that'd be interesting.

can Mer do the Maemo virtual thumb keyboard ... in portrait mode? On a 4" or 5" screen, that probably doesn't make much sense, but on a 7" screen, it seems like you could have the bottom half of the screen taken up by the thumb keyboard, and the top half of the screen still displaying a usable portion of the app.

* Kernel source (Nokia has given out similar - see kernel-source-diablo)
* Firmware maker (as in, making an "upgrade image" - Nokia has not given out information on the FIASCO format -but- it's a matter of simply asking for it I believe)
* Descriptions on how to boot fully from SD in case the internal flash dies (Boot sector and all stuff) and utility to create this (Nokia hasn't given something similar but it is very rarely needed provided you haven't messed up NOLO and X-loader)
* Information on how to hook up a RS232 console to access bootloader directly
And I've requested bootloader sources (Qi, u-boot), and we'll see how that goes. When that is done, I can actually make a fully open source firmware for it. It's amazingily hackable.
As you go on to other communities, remember to build them around politeness, respect, trust and humility. Be wary of poisonous people and deal with them before they end up killing your community.. Seen it happen to too many IRC channels, forums, open source projects.
