Both probably appear in Application Manager installable programs. If an installable program it doesn't appear there, it typically shows up with appropriate links in the Maemo.org downloadable programs, or in the Maemo garage. FYI, Claws for the tablets does offer non-tabbed html viewing -- it's html viewer doesn't currently allow zooming, which means the small print can be hard to read. But otherwise it's decent. Now that I've got my gCalendar running, I'm hoping Claws calendar plug-in can work with it offline. My wife and daughter are wandering around Europe with my tablet so they can call me over the internet, so I'll have to wait for a week or so to see what does or doesn't work in the Claws calendar plugin. There's a variety of good media players available -- some may require mplayer to work. One of the limitations that newbs typically bump into in video playback is the limits size of video frames that can be processed. There are several good desktop programs that convert large format video (and DVDs) into tablet sized video. A full DVD can be crunched into 300M file for tablet viewing. Desktop processing speed in required for these operations. As for removing default apps, many can be removed thru application manager. At this point, some can't be removed, their part of the 'system'. It's possible to store some programs and data (like Claws email folders) somewhere outside of your internal memory. If you've got a Class 6 or faster SDHC 8G or 16G card in your internal memory (on the n800), and a companion card in your external memory, you should have plenty of room and speed for all sorts of programs and data. The n810s micro cards are also fine, but get a bit expensive in large memory formats, although that is changing. One app that I find I can't live without is the application launcher that lives in the Maemo garage. It allows you to have small icons on your desktop home for quick launching programs. It could use an update to add transparency and touch up a few things, but generally works fine. IMHO, something like it ought to be one of the default apps. It's like the speed launch bar one has one most desktop OSs. -- Always, Dr Fred C drfredc@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
