Default Sneak Peek Week

So the next round of Foleo Sneak Peek events is coming up--July 17 and 19--and I know a few of us have signed up. I propose using this thread to (a) collect some questions beforehand, and (b) collect some answers afterwards (or during!).

There's no way all the questions will get asked or answered, but a healthy list may help prioritize.

Here's my partial list. (I'm not publishing my really dumb questions.
  • Web sites to visit (some will work, some won't)
  • Questions
    • Java runtime on command line?
    • Compatible with Treo 650? What phones?
    • How do I transfer a file from Foleo to Treo? SD card? BT?
    • GUI built on X?
    • Security features? Physical lock slot? Password protection?
    • What happens when Foleo is tethered and a call comes in?
    • Does mailto: URL in browser integrate with mail app?
    • Warranty?
    • Battery life on standby? Indefinite?
    • How do you mount SD card? Does it show up in a file manager?
    • Relationship of Foleo OS to Access Linux Platform? Any chance of ACCESS Garnet VM running on Foleo?
    • What's the story for printing a document? PC required?
    • Can keys be remapped, e.g. Alt or Menu key remapped to Ctrl or Meta?
    • How easy to manage multiple network configurations: WEP on/off, proxies, etc.
    • Possible to network directly to a PC via wifi?
  • Things to try
    • The hinge
    • Polarized sunglasses; screen still visible?
    • Mount a USB thumb drive
    • Download a file to Foleo
    • File manager. What does home directory look like?
    • FTP
    • Linux shell
