Sorry, I didn't say that well. Yes, it's definitely possible that Verizon could shut off access. What I meant though, was whether or not it was possible to get a 3rd party app to make use of the 3G connectivity on the DR800. If we can't do that, then the whole discussion about how Verizon would react is moot.

Oh they say plenty on the subject, it turns out.
They can discontinue the wireless, charge you fees for "personal use of other wireless services", and of course change the terms, including limits on the size/number of files that can be transferred, and terms of the fees. They also mention agreeing to use the connectivity only in connection with the services and software IREX provides with and for the device. The idea there is to block out uses like turning the 800 into a wireless tether, or using 3rd party apps that try to tap into the wireless. |

I have downloaded the emulator for the software version 3.0 and got it running. However, I only have one computer running Ubuntu 9.10 and I didn't get the Anjuta Poky Plugin to load, so I eperimented with the xournal V5 code using only the command line.
I also don't have the DR800 (yet), but I was still curious how hard it is to add pdf-zooming/annotating to the device and I've got some preliminary results: After porting the libart_lgpl and libgnomecanvas library, the xournal code compiled (I also had to link more IRex libraries, just like Mackx had forseen) Long story short: it works. Partly. In the emulator. The xournal loads, but scribbling work only in the standard mode. The experimental mode results in ioctl error messages when trying to write. Additionally, loading a pdf results in a dialog box: "Unable to start PDF loader pdftoppm" I have not made any changes to the code, as I'm waiting for Mackx to post the source code of the xournal V8 version. As for pure pdf viewing (and zooming), I also ported epdfview. The binaries plus some rudimentary install instructions are in the attached tarball. I don't know how to create fancy install routines, or entries on the menu screen. I'm happy if anyone can point me to good instructions on this. Maybe someone owning the device can tell me, if its working similarly on the real thing. But I'm very optimistic that the DR800 can be used in the way I want it: reading some books, but mostly technical documents. Some of which need annotations. |

Yeah, I'm playing with Xournal in the emulator myself (and now the device)... and it actually runs pretty well. A couple display bugs for V5 (can't see what page you are actually on because the control gets squished in the bottom bar, and the fast draw lines never seem to redraw correctly unless I change the page).
As for just taking some hand-written notes? Very promising already. Last edited by Kolenka; 02-26-2010 at 01:59 PM. |

I copied my DR1000 VMWare image and loaded the DR800 poky/kernel files, works very well. I copied the xournal installation ipk-files and the poppler libs to the emulator and started xournal manually. It al worked the first time. I do not see the problems you see with the Controls on the emulator is that only a problem on the real device? |

Yeah, from what I can tell... Xournal is trying to update the screen, but the lines don't darken where they overlap. Only the pixels where the fast drawn lines and Xournal's don't overlap. It's kinda weird behavior and I didn't notice exactly what was going on at first.

Aha I think I recognise this. The lines as they are drawn with the scribble-library are a little different from those drawn with gtk (mainly the thickness). This leaves some strange effects when gtk overwrites the scribbles. Going to another page and back will give the 'final' result (at least on the DR1000).
