The Swype link has been removed, but I found another one that works (for now):

Looks interesting and I shall certainly be trying it on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

Ciao All
For the first time ever i experienced the Fact of a corrupted cf yesterday
I was working on an epoc word file on the disk C of my netBook and I decided to close it, move it on D and rename it
Than i started working on it again and gave the command Save
After That, i got a soft reset and the D disk was descripted as corrupt
Any chances to get back my files?
Any hints?
Thanks in advance

I think it depends on the definition of the terms we use. On Windows
PC, the 'Sleep' mode frequently called Hibernate saves the current
state of your system/memory, writes it to disk and actually does shut
down power. Restoration time is dependent on a number of factors
including how much RAM you have (the more the slower), and I/O access
times of various devices. For example a SSD will likely restore faster
than a HDD.
A closer equivalent to a Psion's 'sleep' might actually be Standby on
a Windows PC where power is only supplied to memory to allow it to
keep its state. A resume from Standby will be faster than from a
Hibernate on the same system.
I too would like Instant on for all my computing devices and I believe
it is a matter of time before we do take it for granted on most
computers.
Warm regards,

Craig,
I use iDesk in a similar way as I find it easier to use than Powerdesk. I have the following hotkeys set up:
Chr+Del to pop up task list
Menu+LeftShift to switch tasks
Don't forget that the basic system also allows you to switch tasks using the hotkey Chr+Tab. However, I find this an inconvenient key combination, unless I have the 9300i on a desk.
I hope that this helps

In preparation to changing the os on my eee pc, I popped an ubuntu disk into my desktop to get familiar with ubuntu.
I have two versions. Both locked up. 9.10 gave me:
(initramsf) unable to find a medium containing a live file system
8.10 gave me:
(initramfs) 107.2640131 ata1;srst fail (errno:16).
Any help?
The price on the Sharp Zaurus and the psiXpda are both giving me problems. That and the 4 hour and 10 hour battery times. I would take black and white scree to get cost down and battery time up.
Sent one of my 5mx's to flexi yesterday.

[ certainly not. Any Psion that boots from scratch takes only about 15s to get the whole system loaded ]

[yes, correct. But then a Psion would still wake up after a two week sleep! Any other computer would not, even under Linux!]

[I thought the 2 minutes reference was a typo error! It seems Ajai has never used a Psion before]

Re.: Instant On - Yes, I had one like that, the Qtek 9100. However, it is not really a keyboard, more a thumbboard and I for one could not really type on it and hardly ever used the keyboard. So I got rid of it and now have a much lighter and slimmer phone.
