Nokia N800: OS 2007 edition v. 3.2007.10-7
Nokia N800 users… OS 2007 edition v. 3.2007.10-7 has been posted and includes improvements and fixes in:
- Video and Flash performance and quality
- Bluetooth connection
- Browser stability
- Activating touch screen and keys lock
If you use Windows, you can update the OS through Nokia’s application here. Mac and Linux users will need to head over here.
A full flash update is not an action to take lightly. Previous updates ERASE the full device. You can do a backup of settings and preferences which I will post on a bit later today once I have a chance to do the update myself…

Great news.
Don’t see instructions for flashing via Mac OS X. Is this possible with the linux tools?

Best way on OSX is with 770flasher.app — http://www.bleb.org/software/770/
I’ve used it on past updates… have yet to try with this one. If you click the mac and linux link above, you can download the binary and then use the flasher app. If I recall correctly you should remove your memory cards before flashing

Users are reporting improved video performance with the built-in media player. Flash video performance is said to be better, but still only averages about 7-10fps. You can grab the binary here. via Maemo Apps.com

I’ve downloaded the Internet Tablet Updater and am now downloading the BIN file so that I can add it myself. But I’m patiently waiting on your instructions for doing the backup. Is it possible, if I’ve already installed certain things on the memory card to just copy them somewhere?

Darla -
There’s no easy way to just copy apps from the device to a backup card, unless you do that as you download them. Once they go onto your unit and install they (mainly) go to the /usr/bin folder and you need to be in the terminal as root… not a fun place for most people looking to point and click.
I think I am going to actually try and get in the habit of downloading, then installing, rather than as a single process… to save myself some time later…
