Once you get root access it's a fully functional copy of linux in your pocket, anything you can normally do can be done, however it lends itself to mostly view only type functionality. That is it's very tedious to try and type a lot of information with it, but you can use SSH to connect to servers, you can view web pages (obviously), and K-9 mail works great as an imap client etc etc etc. There is at least one functional jabber client as well. Apart from work related stuff I use it for geocaching, I also record location data to GPX files to upload to openstreetmap.org. I also use a wifi tether app to connect my laptop to the net without a tether plan etc. Most, if not all of the above stuff can be done on most "smart" phones, only Apple has the hide to make claims about it being the only platform with "apps that can do that". > I haven't tried to see if it's unlocked for root access or not but I have > seen some posts that it is not. If you look at this link it explains/links to other pages on how to get root access. http://android-dls.com/component/content/article/36-frontpage/105-haykuro-1-rogers-0.html -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Global Communication for the 21st Century "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip."
