According to the nokia devs it only has dsp plugins for mpeg1, mpeg4 and real. Adding support more formats is a matter of installing the right gstreamer plugin. The dsp plugins don't use X for output, but write to a portion of ram which gets DMA's into the fb backbuffer.

It seems to start shipping.

[lardman]

Indeed.

I have one on my desk right now.

any chance of seeing if you can get the shockwave flash player and other goodies off the Nokia and onto a Zaurus?

[lardman]

I can have a look see.

I only got it yesterday and haven't had much time to play yet, but will keep you updated with progress. If anyone has any questions, etc. I'm more than willing to answer.

can you lease post pictures of it next to a zaurus? is it more or less responsive than the Z, when surfing, emailing ? Is the maemo environment annoying or really useful?

[pgas]

If anyone has any questions, etc. I'm more than willing to answer.

Does it brings something to a zaurus clamshell owner?
Does the bigger screen makes a real difference?

My heart says "get one", but my mind tends to disagree

[lardman]

Bigger screen is great, lack of keyboard isn't as annoying as I'd thought it would be; it's slightly longer but thinner than my Zaurus (I'll take some photos and post them when I get home this evening).

The maemo environment isn't bad; I do find some of the menus are a bit slow but this may be to do with bluetooth (I was transfering files from my phone) and/or the fact that I was playing an mp3 at the same time.

Built in wifi is really good, really quick too .

What I need now:

By default it's not discoverable so I need to do some hacking so that I can use it like someone would use their phones, to send & receive files, etc.

I couldn't play some avi files I've got lying around; not sure what I'll have to do to sort this out, perhaps hack with the dsp, I'm looking into it.

1) can you please comment on the web browser included? does it handle js, ajax?

2) can you try the same app in a n770 and comment on speed difference?

1) can you please comment on the web browser included? does it handle js, ajax?

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.)

2) can you try the same app in a n770 and comment on speed difference?

Perhaps, I'm not sure that there are that many which are the same across the two platforms except plucker and the gpe-minibrowser & pim suite. Is there anything in particular you want tested? Here's a list of apps: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog

When I have some time I'll make a .deb of octave and test the number crunching performance; anyone else have any suggestions?

This might be of use: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCata...94410fb32df8955 though I've not seen this available in ipk form for the Zaurii.

1) can you please try http://script.aculo.us/demos/shop and drag&drop a mug inside the square below

2) can you try abiword? I ses it's already ported to maemo. Please post first launch/load times, save times, and how it feels with a big doc

Th ecpu seems to be an arm-220MHz. Does this make it a-lot-slower than c750/cxk, which are about 400MHz?

3) pictures side-by-side, and to see width differences

4) can you please comment on screen differences?

Thanks in advance. The nokia 770 seems really a new Z to me, advanced, with a big company behaind, just lacking a kb (maybe I can get a usb/bt one) and cf (modem, lan and other legacy-goodies I stiil need)

I also have a c750, so your case fits mine very well.

Loaded fine, but dragging moves the page in Opera. So no dragging and dropping I'm afraid.

The rest I'll sort tomorrow (no Zaurus here for photos, etc.)

So does the Nokia 770 have Opera? 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.
