    pity about the touchscreen as it looks like a resistive not capacitive one.

    @Jesus_Jones: Source article confirms it's resistive.
    Why would that matter? Pen works much better on a mouse based UI anyway. (though Win7 is designed to be finger friendly I guess)

    I used that resistive touchscreen before in an acer and it's like reading trough 20 layers of clingfilm and it feels like you're touching the screen with a prophylactic on the end of whatever appendage you choose to use. #dellmini9

    All that modding and still left the four-letter profanity across the front. For shame.

    @MarcusMaximus: Adolescent Jesus is fairly indifferent. Hormones, you know. Adult Jesus would've whipped the shit out of you. Dead Jesus would have a blast freaking out his old friends during the resurrection.

    @MarcusMaximus: Oh I've found lots of em. I really want a 5 wire resistive one. That is the hard to find part.

    Plus I want one that I can modify to go under the bezel because I'll be taking the laptop apart and making a new case for it.

    I'm interested in how he is going to do the accelerometer. I've looked into that myself and found no easy solution. Unless I completely missed something, which is possible.

    @pɹɐoqʎǝʞuǝʞoɹq: how about a spirit level duct taped to the side of the tablet?

    Or better yet, an iPhone with the Spirilt level app duct taped to the side of the tablet?

    @Parapraxis: perhaps i should reiterate, I haven't found a method that wasn't cost prohibitive. Yeah, you can do anything if you throw enough money at it.

    I don't know whether I'll need it, or if it will serve any purpose beyond what I already get from my netbook, but I'm looking forward to getting one any way.

    The n97 has triband HSDPA (900/1900/2100MHz)


    Is this version of the phone going to be compatible with any of the US 3g providers?


    I know AT&T's 3G network runs on 850/1900MHz, while T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100MHz


    Anyone?

    In reply to Nokia's Down With Making A High-End Open Source Phone, Just Not With Android
    I have to tell you,

    I ordered an N810 and a couple of days before it arrived I played with my bro-in-law's new iPod Touch.


    That pretty much ruined the N810 for me.


    Maemo is so almost there that it hurts.

    I just ran into too many roadblocks and got a Netbook instead.


    Personally it worked out for me that way, but if they can gloss Maemo up a bit and run it on some stronger hardware they might have something.
