I'll go for resolution over pretty graphics any day of the week. A day to day example of this is that I don't run compiz on my desktop machines because it runs faster that way. I'm a function over form kinda guy. (For the record, the distro is Ubuntu, not slackware, or gentoo, or anything that uses rpm's)
I don't watch videos on my ipod or my nokia phone, even though I technically *can*. What I'm really looking forward to is being able to open up an ssh session from my phone, and do *stuff* from it, regardless of where I am. That said, after I get my hands on the Freerunner, I may have a different opinion. Cheers, David On Mon, 2008-06-09 at 08:56 +0800, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > On Sun, 8 Jun 2008 18:58:15 +0200 "Dr. H.
