My apologies- keeping your sock puupets straight takes more work than I'm
willing to put into it I guess. I momentarily confused "anon" with "none."

I'll try and be more careful. I should've realized it wasn't you- the
occasional use of correct capitalization should've given it away...

A new spate of real apps was posted to maemo.org today in honor of the
FruitFone toystore rollout.

For the SoulSeek P2P lovers, Linux's Nicotine has a new tablet version.

Of more interest to me...and I'm sure every BUSINESS user...is the
introduction of a beta-quality version of "Log Me In" for the
N800/N810/N810Wimax tablets:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/O...ogmein-client/
This is the client-side browser plugin using the Mozilla browser engine
of OS2008 to connect and control "Log Me In", a 3rd party commercial
PC/Mac remote controller/file transfer/audio streamer/remote desktop
app:
https://secure.logmein.com/labs.asp?lang=en

The free version does this:
https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/

The paid for Pro version does more:
https://secure.logmein.com/products/pro/

and for the Enterprise users we add inventory tracking and reporting...
https://secure.logmein.com/products/it/
a system already in use, it seems.

This picks up where Remote Desktop leaves off, allowing me to logon to
my mainframes and RAID beasts, move files in and out of the tablet or
laptop at will, even play any audio files the PC's massive codec pack
installations support....on the tablet's speakers, even if the tablet
doesn't support it! Movie video would be asking too much of sellphone
bandwidth....or even wifi.

Watch the demo on the logmein website! I never saw it before finding
the maemo port on maemo.org's new downloads, but already have the trial
version (time limited, full features) running on my laptop and
mainframes. I even played MP3 files ON THE LAPTOP AT HOME ON WIFI....to
the tablet's speakers on Alltel EVDO 40 miles away roaming on Alltel in
Walterboro, SC, at lunch....way cool...and all controlled from the
tablet.

It's "Sync" function will sync a folder on the remote unit, even tablet,
with the same folder on the base server at the touch of a button....very
useful to inventory control, off-site sales forces, remote
offices...whether on a tablet or not.

I can see a lot of uses in my own business for this system.....(c;
I have a large repository of every Kawai electronic service manual ever
produced, which, as a Kawai servicer the company sent me on a DVD. It's
on the RAID box. So, now from a church with a Kawai umtisquat 5000, I
can simply copy the file from the RAID to my tablet in the church 50
miles away over EVDO and won't have to carry the manual all dog eared
and dirty or have to store lots of data on the remote. Very cool
indeed! Even cooler is the files are PDF files I can boot on the tablet
in Xournal, make notes on them to this specific job with the stylus and
highlighter, like parts prices and marked up, and send the resultant
marked file back home.....right from the organ in the boondocks!....(c;

The new Pidgin port:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/pidgin/
supports ICQ in addition to the other systems on the long list....

God I hate texting.....I'm a SKYPE kinda guy! On texting you can't hear
them passionately panting in heat! Stupid kids!

I haven't had time to play with all the rest. The app counter reads 214
today. A couple days ago it said only 204! I need more time....(c;

App store my ass.....Monkey Ball....geez.

Here's the whole list of apps from the:

NOKIA INTERNET TABLET APP STORE

Leave your wallet and credit cards in your pocket. Open Source is
FREEWARE!

http://maemo.org/downloads/updated/OS2008/250/

It's html any browser will render. No special spyware needs be installed,
no registration necessary unless you wish to post or join a team....

Sorry for the lack of "checkout" facilities, but many of the coders will
take a donation from their own webpages if you've a mind to support them.

.....damn.....out of memory errors.....again!

Someone needs to build a tiny 500GB hard drive into an SD card case....

Christ, Lar, you're (almost) as bad as Oxford! When _I_ pointed out
LogMeIn to you several months ago, (before it was ported to the N800) as an
alternative to Remote Desktop, you poo-pooed it as insecure and said how'd
you never run _your_ data through someone else's server, since you didn't
know who "they" were...

Now that it's "touched" the N800, it's the greatest thing since sliced
bread!

(Now that I'm done picking on you, I'll second the notion that LogMeIn, is,
in fact, the greatest thing since sliced bread!) ;-)

oh my god! is that all they have? it's like i was back in the 1990's all
over again with the Newton. you can't be serious that this is nokia's
last best hope against the iphone?

you don't need any special software to view all the apps for the iphone,
just any regular itunes software will suffice.

no checkout? then how is a developer going to be interested in
developing for their platform? they've been caught off guard to say the
least.

out of memory errors? you wouldn't see that on an iPhone, poor larry,
caught in 1993, it's nearly unbearable to watch!

One of the fatal flaws of passing 62 years old is you tend to pass by
things you've never seen before, even though you've held them in your hands
and played with them.

No, not that!.....You never forget THAT!

Sorry I didn't remember or pay more serious attention to it before. I was
strung out on Orb at the time......or maybe that single malt scotch a
yachtsman gave me....(c;

I'm amazed how well it works across the Linux/Windoze platform bridge.

You can't run out of memory if your PoS only plays programs ONE AT A TIME!
