In case you missed it … OS2008 gets an official OTA update
Last night I noticed that there was a new update to OS2008 designed to enhance the email and browser … My last experience with the software update was from a re-flash and I remain very impressed with how this worked as well.
I chose to do a backup (safety first) but had no need to restore. After a required reboot, my system was humming again. I can’t say I am noticing any real changes with this update, but I was not having any problems with the browser or email either …
Doing this without a computer is impressive and something I hope makes it to more mobile devices.

Unfortunately, my N810 didn’t have enough space for the update to complete successfully — which screwed up a bunch of the dependencies. The tablet is still running fine, but I can no longer update any application. Looks like I’ll have to reflash via the tether after all. Arg.

I wish they had better release notes than a “one liner”

My N800 didn’t have enough space to start the install until I removed map. I prefer maemo-mapper in areas where the OpenStreetmap data is good anyway and it only uses 0.9MB
