Two weeks ago I bought my N810 with the discount code kindly
offered by Nokia for the Maemo development program. The device is
really nice, the OS2008 provides a totally new user
experience (compared to the version I used on my N770). So here
are few remarks I have after few weeks of usage:

- the padlock slider is too easy to activate.
- the keyboard is coool but I sometimes have difficulties with
  the keys of the first row in the keyboard. To me they are
  slightly too near from the screen.
- I dislike the kinda "micro" USB plug, it looks like some Nokia
  specific plug, a mini-usb plug would have been more handy so
  that I could use the same USB wire as for my camera.

So far I used the IM a bit with Frank for a video chat and with
Mom for an audio-only GoogleTalk chat. Sound is good but video
quality was bad, I need to make more tests I guess :)

Played a bit with MediaStreamer and Coherence_, everything works
fine, excepted seeking that's lacking because Coherence HTTP
server doesn't yet support HTTP range requests.

I also did some media transcoding so that I can watch videos on
the device. Videos need to be encoded in MP4 at some specific
resolutions. Fortunately there's an `handy script`_ at maemo.org to
do the whole job for me :)

Last weekend I gave a try to geottagging using the `documentation on
Maemo wiki`_. I ended up with a nice KML file that can be displayed on
Google Earth and `Google Maps`_ (see below too). I'll directly
integrate these features in my gallery soon, geotagging is an
interesting thing, especially for my next holidays... :)

In the coming weeks I'll start developing user-interfaces using the
Python EFL libraries. I'll most likely play a bit with the Coherence
MediaRenderer called Compere_, so far implemented using PyGame and try
to rework it with the EFL libs... More to come later :)

**edit**: Frank the Coherence guru reminds me that Coherence de facto supports HTTP range requests but MediaStreamer HTTP client doesn't implement the seek requests correctly... :)
