This leaves me confused, because the 770 we received this
week doesn't seem to offer any kind of console application.
Are you possibly referring to an earlier release of the device
software, or the emulation environment on the desktop?

Offhand, it looks like the developer devices shipping this week
are not configured specially for developers in any way.  Can
anybody confirm that?

It will be interesting to compare notes on the most useful
tricks for debugging on the device -- local console with
bluetooth keyboard, installing sshd, mounting a directory
via bluetooth, etc.
