Gettin My Wiz Early Next Week!

[Darth_Moose]

As the title says, I took the plunge and bought a Wiz last night. It should be in early next week!
I'm psyched for it, but I'm also a bit of a newb to these open source handhelds.
I'm a bit of a tech junkie, so im sure I'll catch on quick, but I was curious if anyone has any suggestions for setup that will make the box opening day as exciting and geeky as possible?
What things would you recommend installing?
Thanks a bunch guys!

I prepared a SD card with all the stuff that looked interesting, and spent the first couple of days going over it

Agreed, I purchased my SD card and prepped it while waiting for my Wiz - that way you're not wasting any time organizing your file structure.

I'm a big fan of the Win2x front-end: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/51060-win2x-alternative-frontend/

Anything at OpendHandhelds is golden: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi

Debating about flashing the newest firmware, as it helps alleviate the diagonal tearing (which isn't even that noticable): http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,316

Aweseome!
Thanks guys
I have actually downloaded the newest firmware (along with 1.1.0 to install first) to get running right off the bat.
I also got a bunch of stuff I want to get on there right away

Are there any neat little programs that can be run on the Wiz that I might not know about?
Thanks guys!

I'm getting antsy for the mail to get here.
It prolly won't come today, but it's fun to get your hopes up!

Quick question, can I used a USB charger from say, my iPod to charge this through a wall adapter?
I would assume so, but I always freak out about the voltage, and don't want to blow the thing up.

I'm a bit paranoid

Hey everyone!
My Wiz came in today!
Quick question tho, does yours rattle a bit? It sounds like its coming from the battery compartment.

I'm chargin it up, so I get to make sure everything is in working order soon!

Mine does but it works perfectly.
