Jeff,
I don't use them, as I keep all my PIM stuff in my phone. I haven't
tried the bash shell, either, sorry.
I mostly use it with a Bluetooth GPS and maemo-mapper, (its really
fun to watch it download maps via GPRS)
or as a substitute for the laptop when dragging it around is just too
much.

I've considered using it as a front-end for the in-car linux box I've
got in the FJ40(*). Since the FJ40 isn't on-island (yet, sigh), I've
not advanced this at all.
The in-car linux box has a GPS attached (with an external antenna!),
too. The idea is to eventually be able to do predictive driving
directions along with using information about historical driving
trends and other information I can gather via the ODB-II port (engine
load, rpm, speed (could have got that via the GPS too), etc.
And its not imposition.
Jim

Hello Jim!
Thanks for the response. I appreciate your generous offer to
let me borrow one, but I shouldn't have to impose upon you so
much. I'm mostly interested in hearing from you about your
experiences with the GPE PIM apps that look very promising for
doing PDA-ish stuff. I'd like to know if the GPE apps are stable,
and if you've been able to import contacts and schedule info.
Also, have you tried the optional BASH shell?
Aloha,
-Jeff

Hello all,
I've been considering getting a Nokia 770 internet tablet for
quite some time after seeing the newer firmware and the
development for it. Surf to:
http://planet.maemo.org/ to get an idea of the activity there.
I specifically want to use it more as a PDA to track / sync
schedules and contact info than as a cool tablet that can also
run all of the Linux apps I depend on.
Has anyone on this list used the Nokia 770 with the newer
firmware?
Aloha,
-Jeff
