Re: Dismal Diablo Battery Life - N800
Thanks, I will look into this. If it helps with the battery life I'll report back.

Re: Dismal Diablo Battery Life - N800

Re: AbiWord for Chinook and Diablo - Open Beta
Thanks for the explanation! It's nice at least to know what the issue is. I will make the switch to Diablo eventually, maybe this will be the thing that pushes me over the edge. In any event, good...

Re: chumby
Had the same problem installing, but this workaround worked for me, and now it works great--including video. Neat app! And a good way to get my friends/family intrigued by Chumby.

Re: Importing List of POIs into Maemo Mapper 2.3
