- First impression: WOWZERS!! This thing is visually very impressive, with a nice base bundle like the memory/cpu applet, battery meter that shows percentage, and other utilities. Sweet!
I have to agree, it is very nice.
- It appears to use lots of power. My meter when from 100% to 85% in about thirty minutes, which is pretty stiff usage. If the battery was only 85% to start with (a possibility, then it seems the battery meter shouldn't showed 100% to start with. (shrug)
- After thirty minutes it crashed again.
- Final analysis: A for effort but far too unstable. Recovered my virgin NAND backup and re-installed all my stuff lost in the kernel snafu. Not a happy flashing weekend. (sniffle)
I find that it does have a higher power consumption than the Sharp ROM, but I ahve not had it out and out crash on me.
Did have my 1 GB SanDisk SD card die over the weekend (need to make a trip to Costco to exchange it, less than a month old).
XMMS is a little flakey (takes for ever to start playing an MP3), but mplayer works well.
Haven't been able to get either of my CF memory cards to work either (Lexar 256 MB and IBM 1 GB MicroDrive).
