Lately I’ve been using the Nokia Booklet 3G a lot and I can say wholeheartedly this little machine is tough as nails and runs Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala amazingly.
Don’t let the form-factor fool you, this isn’t your run of the mill netbook. In fact I believe Nokia has dubbed it an Ultra-Portable. While some characteristics like the Atom Z530, 10.1″ display, webcam, sd card reader and 1 GB RAM are common amongst netbooks (or “tonka toys” as Matt so eloquently puts it), it has some true gems that set it far apart from the rest of the pack.
Looks like I’m #7 on a Discovery News list of “Favorite Hackers”. I was beat out by Robin Wood — and he really deserves to be on that list. I wish I had mad programming skills to hack together Jasager, Interceptor, KreiosC2, need I go on? I’m actually surprised to be on the list but quite flattered. I’m hopeful that my contribution to “the scene” is a positive one.
Beginning day 1 with the Jamestown Ferry this ride follows the eastern shore via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel with camping at Henlopen State Park, Delaware.
