Okay, you've beat me into submission. I tried the "Upgrading from Diablo SDK" install option and it didn't go so well. I think I hosed it a month ago while playing around with webkit stuff. Anyway, I'm starting from "scratch." This will take a while, but when I have things up and running, the first thing I'll try and compile is the HIM example. More as I know.

This is excellent. The Mer guys have been all over it. Wouldn't their stuff just pop right in to Maemo 5?

You are aware that Nokia has an open source stylus keyboard that may be easier to start your work with, right?

I love that it's a mini Linux PC that I never get bored with.
- I use it on trips for skype calls and video calls with Gizmo.
- At work it plays XM-Sirius satellite radio online over wifi for more than 5 hours straight on one charge.
- It's an instant on device for quick web surfing and emails 24/7.
- I transfer files to and from my phone via bluetooth and to and from my other PCs via SFTP.
- I monitor my volunteer fire department's servers using an ssh terminal connection.
