Yes, it's possible to install on eMMC but we don't generally advise for it as we tried for 1.1 to have a principle of non-destruction for people being able to test out without damaging their current setups. We might look into this for 1.2 but there's bigger fish to fry right now. Slow app launch is partly due to almost no optimization such as prestarting, Qt boosting, battery life is obvious since we don't have OMAP power management in kernel and general slowness is due to the SGX drivers :) BR Carsten Munk _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
