We have gotten the remainder of our order of 20 Nokia N810s. This brings our total pool of devices up to 40! I have gotten them fully set up and they are running in staging. If everything looks good tomorrow, I will move them over to production.
I have also moved them all to the conference table in FAIL to see if this improves our connection reliability. This will really help us to keep posting reliable and timely numbers. I still have 3 units running in staging which are using a MicroSD card for their entire os and data drive. If this works out well, we will hopefully improve our end to end times on builds and make it even easier to reimage a malfunctioning device.

So how long do you think before the flash dies because of the constant abuse? =D

As I understand it, sd cards have wear leveling controllers. This means that there is less worry than when using the uncontrolled internal raw flash which relies on a software component (mtd kernel modules and jffs2 filesystem. As well, replacement flash cards are under 10 bucks it seems.
