It's a full linux system, so in an xterm you can:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
# cat /proc/meminfo

For the resolution, it's 800x480. But xdpyinfo doesn't exist on the system so I think you need to look in the X log file to get it.

Can I compile for example FFMPEG there !? – oneat Mar 25 '11 at 20:59
Well, you can. I'm not sure why you'd want to since 'apt-cache search ffmpeg' shows me someone else already has! – Wes Hardaker Mar 25 '11 at 23:06
I just wanted to see if I can compile there – oneat Mar 29 '11 at 19:11

There is, but I haven't tried it, a compiler that you can put on the device itself. I tend to compile on my desktop when compiling for the N900 and the transferring the results there (via scp to it). – Wes Hardaker Mar 30 '11 at 08:22

You might want to check out Conky. It's a really nice and useful system metrics vizualisation app for Maemo.
