Just flashed the latest Nokia OS2008 image on my N800 Internet Tablet. This is supposed to be the last image N800/810 users will need to flash on their tablets. Future versions of OS2008 will be upgraded without the need to flash. It is good news since it does get a bit tiring having to reinstall software after each flash.
There are currently a lot of software available for the OS2008 from the Maemo website: http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/. I want to run LAMP on my tablet if possible. Apache is available but I am not sure about MySQL and PHP.
OS2008 runs a version of Debian. When I SSH’d into my N800, I noticed that apt-get works for some of the software. Only one person can SSH into the tablet at a time, I will need to make some configuration changes. I can see the N800/810, along with the iPhone, being great mobile web servers.
A trial of Android can run in a virtual machine in my Nokia N800 as well. Unfortunately, since the N800 does not have a keyboard, you can only run it for show. Touchscreen functionality has not been added yet though someone seems to be working on it at the moment. I have to review the forum to see if there was an update.
