[From: Thomas Armagost]

Is there a screen capture program that runs on the n800?  Could it
capture a screenshot of the webcam's video?  Is this maybe a kludge?
All I want is a still snapshot.

I just bought an n800 a few hours ago at the CompUSA in Rancho
Cucamonga, California.  I've been interested in Linux PDAs since the
year 2000, but I've never owned one until now.  I'm not a hacker, I'm
a doodler.  Today I learned that sketch can't read image files unless
they look like this:

       xxx.sketch.png
       bozo.sketch.png
       two2.sketch.png

And so forth.

I imported an image file from my Mac mini via USB and suckered sketch
into opening it.

There's definitely room for improvement.

This is for the 770 but could possibly work with the n800...

Please post a followup if you succeed at flashing the n800 via Mac.

Applications for IT2006 that have been tested to run on IT2007...

And a few that don't run (yet) on IT2007.  Namely Tuner, Ogg Vorbis
Player, MPlayer and Xournal.
