b-man, here
I would like to say congratulations for accomplishing this!. I would
also like to ask you if are planning to do anything with the N800. I
am mostly asking this because i have ben contacting qwerty12, who
managed to get this installed on his N800. However, he has reported
that the touchscreen and hardware keys did not work and that he has
applyed a hack from the previous port to fix the touchscreen but has
resulted in a non-functional kernel. Do you think this could be
resolved??
Btw, there is a discussion on internettablettalk.com covering the main
