Next Internet Tablet to have TI OMAP2430 450Mhz processor?
A while back I was going through kernel-source-rx-34-2.6.21.0-packages .config file in order to build some usb-drivers.
I discovered a commented out line about TI OPAM2430 that was in “OMAP Core Type section”.
#
# OMAP Core Type
#
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP24XX=y
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2420=y
# CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2430 is not set
Does this mean, that the next tablet might have a Texas Instruments OMAP 2430 processor in it? [...]

Arduino interaction
As promised in my previous post. So this one was a bit harder to implement, because I couldn’t find working kernel modules, and had to compile them myself. There is a good discussion about arduino in ITT forums, and other blog posts, but still this was something I wanted to try.

Expanding your storage
I know this is and old topic by blogging standards, but because I found so simple and cheap to use external usb flash-drives with N810, I decided to write a quick walktrough.
Get yourself a female-female usb adapter. I ordered from this funny sounding store on eBay, and it took 1-2weeks for it to ship to [...]
GPE Calendar + Erminig + Google calendar installation
A few days back there was great a blog post by linuxuk.org about syncing GPE Calendar with Google calendar and further with Outlook.
I wanted to try just the GPE Calendar to Google synchronization on OS2008 , and realised that it needed some fiddling to get it working. Here are the steps:
Find and decide where to [...]
Using gpsd in a simple perl-script
I was playing around with gps-software on the N810 and decided to try how hard it would be to make a simple perl-script that uses the gpsd on OS2008. As a side note: I really don’t know perl at all, and don’t even like it - I actually hate it for some reason…
I decided to [...]
N810 and the adaptive screen
I finally got my N810 and I’m really pleased with it. It looks nice, feels nice and works like a charm. Thanks Nokia.
However, there’s one thing that puzzles me. Why can’t you force the brightness of the screen to go to maximum. Even if you set the screen brightness to it’s max, it still [...]

Something fishy going on?
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ Is still pretty much unreachable, but I’m beginning to feel that there’s something more to it than people upgrading their OS to 2008.
Because for me http://repository.maemo.org/ and http://repository.maemo.org/extras are also 95% of the time unreachable. Is this a classical case of Nokia not paying the ransom and getting the internet hammer also known [...]
Upcoming N-series tablets and wimax?
In the latest MikroPC-magazine (14/2007) there’s a small article by Veli-Matti Jalovaara about WiMAX.
“Nokia will be using Intel’s WiMAX-chipsets in the upcoming N-series tablets, which are meant to be in the market next year”
For me this was news, but after a quick session with google it seems that this in an old story. Anyways, linuxdevices.com [...]
