 You can complain about reality all you want, but that's not going to
 change it. The reality is that NO ONE is paying $900 for an unlocked
 iPhone, and the unlocked price for an iPhone is far, far below what it
 will be for an N900 if  when they make a deal with a carrier.

Erm. Everybody is paying that price for an *UNLOCKED* iPhone. Subsidized
ones seem cheaper, but probably aren't (depending on contract).

So the iPhone *is* more expensive than the N900 *when* you buy an
*UNLOCKED* one and don't want to be bound to a carrier.

*IF* you want to buy a subsidized N900, well go complain to your carrier.

 Any reason why you're using telnet instead of ssh?  Ssh has many

Need more reasons?

Re: Canola2 beta

 Hi,
 
  I have at least 30 albums on my flash card that the built in media
  player sees just fine.  Canola2 only shows me 7 of them.  There is
  something messed up with the way Canola finds music.
 
 Could you please tell us what kind of media do you have (mp3, wma, etc..) ?
 It would be awesome if you send us any of this media files and  your
 /home/user/canola.db file, so we could investigate what is happening.

Same here: All my aac encoded albums aren't recognized by Canola2
(encoded with iTunes). The default Mediaplayer does recognize those,
but also has problems with the embedded tags and shows albums as having
a playtime of -1 second(s) - until the album has been played once.

Info on one of the files:

If you need the file, I can send it to you.

And yeah, looks like it made it into canola.db:

Cheers,

 Yes, Canola2, or actually LightMediaScanner (which is opensource:
 http://lms.garage.maemo.org/) don't have AAC/mp4 parser yet, in this
 case it's handled by audio-dummy parser that just use the filename.
 We have one developer working on plugins, so far he did asf (wma,
 wmv) and real media, he still have to do aac and few others. Any help
 is appreciated.

Oh, sorry, I'm not a developer by all means. But if I can test stuff -
sure, I'll do so.

But at least that does explain why m4a doesn't work - I just wondered
why nobody else wrote about that problem.

And: Canola2 looks much much better to me than Canola1. Great work!

Cheers,

Ralph

 Huh.  I have many AAC files.  I have no OGG files.  Why should even

How weird. I have no AAC files but a big bunch of ogg files, why should
I even remotely care about AAC?

IOW: What is the point you are trying to make?

 Or is this one of those you absolutely need it for interesting content 
 in Europe, but it's absolutely useless for content in the Americas type 
 situations?

Huh? What does it have to do with America/Europe? It's about *open* and
*free* music codecs - neither AAC nor MP3 are free. 

And I don't really see the problem with supporting *also* ogg.

 I'm running off a SD card too and with bluetooth on and wi-fi connected

Lucky you. When I'm connected to my AP at home (The white fonera AP),
I'll get 1.5 days max, even if I don't use the device and just omweather

 Not sure what is default value now but you may try to change PSM timeout

 Playing those files mediaplayer (and canola) begin to stutter, while the

Sorry, seems to have been a problem with the SD card. Running fsck.vfat
on the card found some errors, probably from an unclean umount. Now it
plays okay.

Ermm, no. That is not true for Germany, at least, 100kHz stepping is the
norm, fm stations are also on the even 100 kHz digits.
