    Hey guys,

    I got my G1 around 20 days ago...
    It working great
    I had some questions about Direct Messenger and OLED display. How can u customize tht display?
    I have heard that you can display your IM msgs and some other things on it. However, Direct Console does not have any options like that.

    Is there anything out there which can do some more stuff and use the display more efficiently?

    It automatically displays that you have IM messages and who they are from.

    it works with msn messenger when you don't have the messenger open. so when playing a game or watching a dvd the display flashes and tells you you have a msn message and from who it is from.

    As many here a have already stated, it works with MSN Messenger.

    You will need to open the Asus Direct Console program, this is where you can turn on or off the lights (on the side of the LCD), and where you can turn on the Messenger option.

    Also you will be able to customize the OLED with your own little messages and smileys.

    Thank You Guys for your help...

    I appreciate it...

    It would be better if it worked for other messengers like AIM or Yahoo, but MSN is still fine...
