What are you doing with them? I picked up two, ordered another for a friend. www.joggler.info joggler hacking site popped up very quickly when the first lot went on sale. One of mine sits on the desk as a clock and I run it as a digital photo frame at times, main reason I got them was I had been waiting for a decent resolution digital photo frame for a while, at a good price. The Joggler does that and ofc much more being practically a Â50 netbook (without battery) You don't reflash them if you want to use Ubuntu or something on it, you boot that from the USB, unless I missed something in the last couple weeks anyways. I also use mine as a quick means to get upto date weather summary, I use the Openpeak app which I installed rather than the default O2 one. The Openpeak one handles multiple locations which I wanted, Holsworthy, barnstaple, Bude and Exeter. I also use mine to pop a movie on via the media streamer from my unpnp server that feeds my ps3's media. I used to just have a portable DVD player for that, but this is a heap handier just being able to play the divx off the server. The google calendar on it is handy, but tbh the Ipod is better for me at that, the app is a bit slow on the Joggler. Oh, and I sometimes watch the streaming BBC channels on it if not a movie. -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
