<br>
thanks for sharing this.<br>
<br>
I am starting to demo the N800 informally to
individuals who are interested in potential business applications for
the device and it really helps to know that there is a roadmap for both
maemo and for the device itself. Just today someone came up to me after
overhearing a discussion I was having with another individual about
the N800 and the interloper asked if I had one. I said yes and then I
proceeded to show him the N800 .pdf reader and we then went to work on
paring the N800with his Bluetooth enabled Verizon Wireless Motorola
handset with (hacked) tethering support for his broadband service
(Verizon Wireless's broadband service is based on EVDO).<br>
<br>
His company is interested in "losing the laptop" for their field techs.
Instead they want to utilize a smaller but Internet connectible device
using Bluetooth + mobile broadband, like the N800, that can be used
to pull down and read .pdf's of service manuals, for the plethora of
premises
security systems (many of them legacy systems) for which his company
provides maintenance services.<br>
<br>
Related to this them of "losing the laptop" I am thinking of marketing
the N800 as a "greener"
device in the energy conservation sense since it will, in general,
consume less power than a laptop computer and be able to go longer
between times when it has to be attached to the "grid" for recharging.
Do you have any quantitative info on how much more efficient the N800
is relative to the average laptop/notebook?<br>
<br>
<br>
It occurs to me that having an auto charger for the N800 would be very
desirable. Better still would be to provide an adapter cable (USB to
Nokia custom power supply input connector) so a USB type charger which
is already available on the market (I happen to have one of these)
could be used with the N800. That way field service techs using this
device could recharge the device from their vehicle power.<br>

It's in the test website (to be released as new site soon), it looks
ugly (I'll leave to others the beautification) but the information
contained is fresh and 100% real.

This page needs an update. I will help getting this page on shape.
This update is also a good opportunity to discuss possible futures.
