Stuff Added to the iT

Installed and kept:
ttf-chinese - of course. In waiting for an input method.
Pidgin - Not by choice. The built-in Chat doesn't support MSN
Camera
mplayer - buggy, may not stay long
openssh - client and server. I use ssh to gain access to root privilege. I needed it to replace the /etc/hosts. I just have to remember not to leave the server running all the time.

Tried but didn't like:
Canola 2 - eye candy and that's about it.
UKMP - see above
Adblock Plus (Be careful with this one. It really slows down the browser and requires manual uninstallation to remove all residues)
ogg support (the media player cataloged over a thousand tiny files with ogg extension)

On my desktop computer:
Nokia N800 Video Convert - Nice!

Nokia Internet Tablet

273 grams more in the pocket - the tablet, sleeve, headphone, and a miniSD card.

You have a good voice for TV and radio.
