Ordered a Nokia 770 tablet

Watch this space I guess for a review once it comes.

I'm really interested in this device because one of the reasons I refuse to use Tracks or Backpack as the centerpiece of my GTD is because it isn't usable on a mobile browser. As the 770 has Opera and should be able to handle Ajaxy-fancy-pants bits, that problem may go away.

I just refuse to carry a laptop everywhere to solve this problem.

Also, it will be able to use my mobile phone's internet connection to use the big browser/IM client/email so that I am not constantly fondling my N90 like some sort of perv.

The 770 isn't a PDA. Its a tiny X11/Linux device with WiFi and Bluetooth. I'm eager to see if it will fill any gaps for me.

Hi Emory, I am a long...

Hi Emory,

I am a long time Opera user since version 1. (In the good old days the whole browser would fit on a floppy disk! Anyone remember them?)

Ajax is supported in Opera but most of the Web 2.0 type apps seem to built to love Firefox.

And I just did a test on my Sony-Ericsson K750i with my copy of Opera Mobile and, yes, I could log in and browse my Backpack pages on my tiny phone's screen.

However I wasn't able to tick off or add items... With these results, I didn't bother trying to create pages, etc.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Cheers

Simon

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
