Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201
Guys I can also say I've had not trouble from a desktop to my wbt-100 over bluetooth. All the lights go out on the gps when it's busy but that seems to be normal. It shouldn't be too tough to put hooks into maemo mapper to give it a menu option to suspend the bt gps connection, execute gpsbabel, and load those tracks into the map. That would be really slick. brad On 5/5/07, Jonathan Hudson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rainer, I've had no problems with bluetooth, either from my Ubuntu AMD64-X2 with an MSI StarKey dongle, or from the N800. -jonathan ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
RE: Nokia N800 or N770 and very bad eyesight.
Hi, The keybouard would then be on a table, Yes, same as with a regular computer. and presumably the N800 would too, Well, not necessarely. Regular computers have screens on tables because it makes sense but also because they are heavy and tied to cables. This is not the case of the tablets. You might find alternatives to keep the screen at your desired distance, like the wind instrument musicians having the partiture in front of their eyes always. It would require some DIY nowadays, but perhaps you have hit a use cases where tablets are more competitive than regular screens? In fact music stands are already used to support computer monitors: http://therawfeed.com/pix/electronic_music_stand.jpg. A smaller stand for a smaller device would be an option, you might still search in the music field i.e. http://www.zzounds.com/item--QLKMS303 although perhaps you would find more and cheaper alternatives customizig camera tripods. The N800 would accept easier simple solutions since it has already a stand usable i any horizontal surface. Please share your progress if you follow these or another paths. It is good to know about use cases where tablets are more suitable than regulat computers. And more importantly for the context of this list, share any specific problems you find at a maemo/software level for users with eyesight problems. Thanks!

Instant on Loading
Is there a way to enable instant on loading, i use the device to read while commuting, it gets old having to clik though to get the pdf or txt file i was reading. is there a way to save a state, then when the system boots, load the saved state? i like the nokia 800 but what asshat designed a portable device without instant on? some brain dead zombie i guess. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Instant on Loading
Why not just leave it on? The battery can easily last all day hd you are reading offline stuff.

Don't close the apps you use, just minimize them - in other words, use the device as it was intended to be used. You don't need to turn it off, it will power save itself. i like the nokia 800 but what asshat designed a portable device without instant on? some brain dead zombie i guess. You would also get much better results if you didn't insult the people who designed the system, and if you write like a literate adult rather than a petulant child (capitalize your sentences, and don't use words like asshat). ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
