Coincidence? I think not!
But once I started tinkering with it, I forgot all about that :)
I'm tapping away at it's settings and installing stuff just to see what it can do. And since I predict a future where my little Transistor will bork dramatically for some reason, I'll just leave a note to self here when I need to reflash the thing.
Reflashing the n800 - How-toAnd if it gets stuck in a reboot loop:
./flasher --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset
./flasher --clear-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset --disable-rd-mode

Note:Picture one from http://www.transistor.org/collection/northamerican/noram3.html. http://www.transistor.org/collection/channelmaster/chmstr10.html might make a better match for the n800, but I thought the twin pics funnier :p

Hi,
This device gets so many raving reviews it feels like it's made from apple...
IS there any chance that it may run mono ? Would it host regular gtk# apps (if so would they look sleek or crappy) or should there be bindings for it's native toolkit ?
Oh and I also read too many variations on battery life. Just how long can the user blissfully browse content using rogue wifi while being stuck in traffic ?
There is a mono package available for n800 from the mono repository. Everaldo Canuto is the maintainer, you can find his blog here , and the packages are available on:
deb http://go-mono.com/maemo bora user
So you can have all the mono/gtk# fun you want on it :)
The battery runs an amazingly long time, especially because it dims the display / puts the device on standby whenever it can. I haven't done a formal test, but it can last a few days with some use. It's a really nice toy :)
