The XO has a number of limitations, but with some work you can get Opera running, chat over your mesh network, and much more. This articles explains just what a few geeks were able to do with the XO."

  • I was supposed to get my bogo XO before Christmas, then got a nice note that I would get it no later than Jan 15th. I paid for it in early November, and still have not gotten it. Notes to XO get kind notes back saying that it is slated for shipping "soon". How did you "hackers" manage to get YOURS?
  • I can't believe their are BOGO fans out there hacking their XOs. I thought I was an early buyer. Yet I got a kind note saying it would not be here for Christmas, then another kind note saying it would be here no later than Jan 15th. Inquiries have said it was headed toward shipping and would be out soon. I would love to be able to hack, heck, look at my XO which was paid for last fall.
The life of a repo man is always intense.
