Hi ! I moved to http://getaccess.to/n770/
and  optimized the blog for N770 usage. I particularly like the WordPress template  I am using there, it makes such a great use of the limited space. Although WordPress.com is a great service I didi not actually want to shell out money just to be able to change CSS while [...]

Damn.. have to flash it..

Ok, now I have to concede. That damn error “Unable to complete secure transaction” and the inability to load https:// – pages and the uselessness of the known bugfix causes me to reflash it – with the new image, nonetheless. Let´s see firsthand if the “Others” (not the “Others” but those in below ITT thread) are [...]

Watch YouTube and Google Video without converting..

 [...
First you have to install MPlayer for 770. Check out Maemo applications. MPlayer can play FLV files.
Now you need to be able to easily download the flv file from the page. Go to this site: http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html. That’s a great collection of Javascript codes that will help you download the videos. Just bookmark them by clicking [...]

Hands off the new OS Update…

as long as you are not stuck with the old 2005 OS version, it appears you can only lose by installing the new update. According to the one authority, updating from an existing 2006 version may be a bad move.

Waterproof your device…

This guy wanted a waterproof carry-around box for his device and a GPS-mouse and found it here.

Convert videos online …

I will try http://www.bleb.org/services/vidconvert
to convert videos online to see if it can work as interim replacement for MediaConverter, since it won´t start on my machine.Great feature: It excepts an URL (i.e. a YouTube or Google Video page), or a direct link to a video file. Maximum filesize is 50 MB. It looks promising.

YES! Buy and sell contraband with your webpad.

I played it back on my Palm 3x and it was cool then. It was also the only game I had on the Handspring Visor. And it will now be one of only very select games on the 770. Someone took some time to compile the beloved `Drugwars`, as read on Internettablettalk.com forums, which amazingly [...]
