Office for your pocket!

iPhone is NOT an business tool.....or Voyager!

The smartassed Linux boys have just ported ALL of Koffice, Linux's best
office suite, to Maemo Linux 4 for the Nokia N800 and N810 running the
new OS2008 version of Maemo Linux.

When your favorite iPhoney is headed your way looking for trouble,
quickly boot iTablet from:
http://geekpenguin.blogspot.com/
and tell him it's been ported to Linux tablets.....(c;
iTablet replaces the standard Hindon UI on the Nokia tablets with one
iPhoneys will love...(c;

I'm using rdesktop to run my WinXP boxes by remote control from the
little N800 tablet. I'm typing on it at a local Arby's over Alltel EVDO
for this message. rdesktop runs Micro$oft's Remote Desktop on
XP/NT/VISTA/etc.

The Linux boys couldn't stand it. Now we have AIRX, which runs Xforward
with a user-friendly GUI on Nokia tablets being built....(c;

A Nokia tablet running Kdesktop is gonna be one honey of a business tool
with rdesktop running the whole PC back on your desk at the office from
wherever you are. The only thing it doesn't have is speed enough for
full video and no sound transfer, which an office computer doesn't need.

Think about these possibilities before signing that awful contract for a
Voyager or the iPhone WebTV appliance.....

rdesktop setup instructions are here:

remotely-from-nokia-n800-using-rdesktop/

He does not give you instructions on how to get through your router, only
inside the LAN (192.168 addresses). To operate the computer from outside
the lan you only have to opan one port (port 3389) so the router will
route your calls from outside on the net to the computer you want to
control. I'll advise you to NOT use this port as Remote Desktop on
Windoze can be configured to use other non-standard ports so the kiddie
crackers have to work too hard to find it. They scan 3389 constantly
looking for Remote Desktop to attack. On an odd port, they'll have to
scan them all to find it. Use a high number...(c;

Open your router's control webpage, click on PORT FORWARDING and add a
new port, the secret new Remote Desktop port not 3389. Forward it to the
IP of the computer you wish to control, like 192.168.1.2 on Netgears.
Now, you tell rdesktop to call your INTERNET IP, the secret port you've
selected, then the router forwards it to the Remote Desktop listening to
that port and you're in! How cool it is!....(c; Video intensive
graphics over a SELLphone link load SLOWLY because of the SELLphone link.
On some wifi, it's quite fast, but not fast enough to watch the movie.

Unless there's some movie on a webpage that's graphic intensive, browsing
webpages using rdesktop from your fav browser on your main computer is
FASTER than loading all that crapware and spam and cookies and spyware
and javascripts to the tablet's own browser...it uses less data,
especially over the SELLphone circuit. You can also see webpages running
things the tablet's browser doesn't support like full JAVA radar from
NOAA. That is also cool. My buddies all think I have found some magic
way of running Google EArth on the tablet....a lie. Google EArth is
running at home and I'm SEEING it on the desktop!

One more little trick. rdesktop turns off all access to the tablet's
virtual keyboards, which are kinda useless without Windows keys. So, you
need the bluetooth keyboard I'm typing on now, OR....you can use the
WINDOWS onscreen keyboard with the stylus! Open START then PROGRAMS then
ACCESSORIES then ACCESSIBILITY and pick ON-SCREEN-KEYBOARD from the menu.
Move it out to the desktop so you can click it directly from rdesktop on
the tablet! There, you have a full WINDOWS keyboard....right on the
tablet. I found that trick tonight...(c; It even has all the win
keyboard keys...

Bah. OpenOffice is the best open-source software suite. :P
