[2] There's no concept of a "second monitor" in Maemo, so it'd require specific app support; be quite a lot of work and be fairly fiddly. IOW, if you've asked "possible", you won't be able to do it yourself.<br>
[3] The e-ink display, at 800x480 is great, but still only has a refresh rate around 1-2fps. And, of course, it's limited greyscale.<br><br><br>-- <br>Andrew Flegg -- mailto:<a href="mailto:andrew@bleb.org" target="_blank">andrew@bleb.org</a> | <a href="http://www.bleb.org/" target="_blank">http://www.bleb.org/</a><br>
