Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

[fpp]

I've no idea what ajax is, it does handle js I think. Give me an example site if you want (I seem to remember seeing ones which test a browser's abilities, etc.)

An interesting test would be TiddlyWiki, mentioned in another recent thread here :
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

... not really a web site but a self-contained, self-editable, interactive HTML file, thus potentially useful for mobile devices. Makes advanced use of javascript/DOM/AJAX/whatever, which unfortunately is too much for the version of Opera on the Zaurus. I wonder if that on the 770 is any better ?

TIA,
fp

this breaks opera or netfront on Zaurus:

this is very slow on opera/Zaurus, broken on netfront:

I get the message (in the centre of the page, the page edges, etc., load okay):

Code: [Select]

[ERROR: controller processing: home, start, undefined: [Error: name: EvalError message: ]]

No problems with this and it's not slow either.

So does the Nokia 770 have Opera?

Yes, I think so, though it's not labelled as such.

If so, go to General Preferences in Opera menu and click on button beside "Scroll with selection" to keep from dragging page. Then you can still scroll with the D-pad.

This option is not available nor can I find any way to stop the page dragging behaviour.

P.S. Forgot the photos, will try to remember when I head home for lunch

lardman, can you please comment on the fact that the n770 has slower MHz cpu than the Z, and if this really affects overall usability performance ?

thanks.

[lardman]

It feels slower than my C750, probably about the same as my sl5500 (we're talking about running X11 here).

In fact the menu behaviour etc (slight delays) reminds me of my Psions (Series 5 probably) - it's slower, but usually not so slow as to be annoying.

P.S. If someone wants to compile this: http://gtkperf.sourceforge.net/, I'll run some tests (as it's available for the 770).

If you want me to test other stuff (like fp speed which will be slow as it uses FPA to remain compatible with debian), then let me know, and give me some ideas of what to use to test things, etc.

Maybe the delays are related to gpe ?

What about video playback? Could you try vga playback?

No - I run GPE on my C750, perhaps they are related to the Nokia stuff though.

Of course.

Point me at an avi and I'll try it. Needs to be 'divx' for the fourcc though I think.

There's now a forum for the 770 here on OE forums:

Just to finish this thought:

I've since flashed a gpe-image on my 770 and it's nice and fast - feels like my C750.
