A lot of you showed some interest in the topics covered in my last two blog entries. There are a few things that may be worth correcting here or at least expand some of its coverage.

The Nokia 770 is not a phone. It has speaker and headphone jack but does not have an input jack for a microphone. However, you can establish a Bluetooth connection to a (Nokia brand works for sure) Bluetooth capable phone and do Internet connectivity that way.

Just as I mentioned in my previous post, I had decided not to carry two devices (phone and PDA), but now days I am making an exception with the 770 and will be looking for a Nokia phone that can work well in partnership with it. Keep in mind that the 770 is a relatively new offering from Nokia and that its next evolutionary incarnation will likely improve on a lot of the shortcomings that the trade press and existing user base has pointed out to its maker.

My next endeavor related to the Nokia 770 and to mono is to create a deb package for mono so that it can be installed an uninstalled by using the package manager that comes with the 770. Later I will create another package that will probably install PEditGtkSharp just as a sample of a simple mono app that can be install using menus and checking for the prerequisite mono package etc. If anyone has experience creating Debian packages and wants to point me to a the "Hello World" of deb package creation tutorial, send me an eamail or leave a comment on this blog entry with a URL and I will be very grateful.

Clarifications on the Feb 2nd Conference in Puerto Rico

The name of the conference is the Caribbean Software Conference. It will be held in the very nice San Juan Mariott Ballroom in Condado. There is a $80 attendance fee but I believe it includes lunch. This also means that it is open to the general public!
