Will the HP SDIO 1.3MP camera work in the XDA/XDA 2?

Thanks!

in my humble view there are 100% chances it is not going to work on XDA, on XDA II ... hmm, HP has been providing drivers for its machines but as the platform seems to be the same and X-Scale used also the same ... might work, but has not tested yet
regards, monika

if i remember the xda1 doesn't have sdio; thus the hp camera wouldn't work. there's already an sd-enabled camera for the xda1, not sure what the name is.
for the xda2; not sure if the hp camera would work...maybe or maybe not. haven't really tried doing that one since the unit comes with its own camera. what's the camera resolution of the hp?
cheers

What About an SD CARD GPS ?!?

Hi guys,
any news on this side?
(I hope this is not a redundant topic... I've looked for in the topics' list, and seemed to me was missing)
I don´t know any sd-slot based gps-module.
Why you don´t use a serial connected gps?
If you want to use it in a car you need an gps near the windows or outside the car for a good satellite connection
regards
AleX
Hi Alex-Zero,
thank you for answering my question.
I'm actually looking for a more portable device, because I need to use it meanwhile I'm walking in the street.
That's why I'd prefer a "single" object, like a mobile phone with a slot in gps, and not a mobile phone wired to a periferal...

Did you finally obtain a Pharos’ Pocket GPS Navigator SDIO and did it work ok with the XDA II. I am thinking of getting one and it would be good to know someone who has bought one and is pleased with it. Steve
Hi,
I'm sorry I didn't buy it yet. I sent to them an email, asking for information, regarding specifically the XDA II, but they didn't reply !!!
I will keep in touch if something would arise on this matter... will you?

If I buy one I will let you know if it works ok. At the moment I am undecided between Bluetooth GPS and the SD GPS. SD GPS will leave me with no memory expansion and Bluetooth is possibly still a problem although I believe that Towas has a patch that makes it work ok. If anyone is using Tom Tom Navigator 2 Bluetooth aith the XDA II and got it working OK, I would love to hear from them. Does anyone know if using a Bluetooth GPS will still allow use of a Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit like the Parrot CK3000, at the same time i.e. using 2 Bluietooth devices witn the XDA II simultaneously?
Best regards Steve

TV Tuner and/or GPS built in WM5 PPC to replace HTC Uni...

Hi,
I'm finally selling my MDA Pro (eBay item 300008341567 if anyones interested...) and looking for a replacement. To which I'd like to ask if any of you have any knowledge of these phones....
I like the idea of the TV tuner, which the G-Smart has, but can't find anywhere in the UK to get it, does anyone have any opinions on this phone, know where I can get one, or know whether there are any other phones with TV Tuner built in. Also, does this phone have GPS? Some reviews I read say yes, some no. (It's the black one I'm after, not the orange square one.)
The other phone is the Mio A701, purely as it's one of the only WM5 phones I can see that are quite fast and has built in GPS...
Does anyone know of anything else on the market now, or soon, that has a TV Tuner and/or GPS built in, that is a WM5 touch screen, pocket PC phone?
Cheers!!
Hello, i will never recomend you to buy any Gigabyte / i-teq phone before you read all my comments and also from others about this phone at pocketpcdubai.com , then you will know what kind of crap it is and what kind of support you will get, NONE.

You might want to take a look at ETEN G500 (no tuner but pretty fast and has GPS) also the HP 6900 which has everything except a descent screen.
Any way in my opinion, most phones with GPS today are lacking in other features (usually WiFi) and it's better to get a BT GPS and a good
phone.

Hi,
I never really had any problems with the Universal, it's a complicated phone so will never run truely perfect. Like most things, you look for a fault, you'll find one...
The only things I could mention that were annoying, is it would sometimes take a while to ring and notify me of incoming calls, even with patches and fixes that others produced.

Thank's for your input!
I know what you mean about the "all in one" but it's just getting to a stage where my belt is starting to wear out with all the extras that I want to carry in my pockets!
I've seen that EOPS SDIO Tuner, but have only been able to find a foreign supplier for them, do you know if there's anywhere in the UK as yet? Think I'd sooner have the GPS onboard, and get a TV Tuner as an extra.
dont pay too much for a SDIO tv tuner here they already set the date to when they stop broadcasting analog tv alltogether
Hi every one.
Here you can read all my bad opinions on it:
http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/4741058921
Hello
Hi User22.
I was about 98% decided to go in for iteq x bond or gsmart as they hv come officially in India...but I read yr posts at pocketpcdubai and was horrified..though there are not much comments made on the handset, I thought what u hv posted shd be atleast 60% correct and hence decided to keep the Universal..But now there is a new ROM so do u hv any other opinions...?
Yes i have more opinions: Just received a new phone from i-teq, exchanged on warranty, it is working the same very bad way, including the lates rom. Also i allready tried the lates Ubiquio rom without any improvement.
I-teq still not answering any e-mails since 2 month ago to me and others users.
Go for any other company but NOT i-teq / Unitec / Gigabyte ( this one is the real maker but they also don't answer to any one that i know from differents countries).

HTC-S730

HTC S730 ('Wings'): Has anyone spotted it already?
It's now available on Tmobiles website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Detail.aspx?device=acc8102d-4506-4eaa-bc2f-9c7b8ec1b1e0
I may walk over to the local tmobile store later and see if they have one. You thinking about switching from your Vox?

Yeah, I'd like 3G (even though it drains the battery much faster).
And then supposably there is the 2nd video cam and a GPS receiver.
The cpu is apparently a Samsung running on 400MHz.
Combined with the same form factor as the S710 it sounds unbeatable to me.
Ah, that's the "Wing" in T-mobile's shop and is a different model.
The S730's nickname is "Wings"
Here's a preliminary spec:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/devices/HTC/HTC-S730--Wings-322.shtml
The release date is July '07

Where are you located, I don't think the US version has all those capabilities....
That's not the HTC wings
this is : http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=728
T-mobile Wing looks like a TyTN to me
This S730 3G Windows Mobile Smartphone is vaporware right now
Everyone keeps saying it is coming out, but frankly, besides a photoshop'd mockup of this, there have been NO, repeat NO pictures of this in any form. No one has reported seeing one, no fuzzy pictures, etc. Until we get some information about this phone, some pictures, a release of info that is credible, I think that it's no where near release, and more like a Christmas time release at earliest. Seriously, why release the Vox, and then something that will blow it out of the water less than 6 months after the Vox release? It will cannibalize it's own market segment. I hope I am wrong, but with no pictures, or info on it, I don't see it as anything more than a future release, and nothing sooner.
Yes, it seems hard to imagine that they will release it so soon after the S710. However, there are different markets for both models. Don't forget that many users have no need for 3G, besides that the battery drains much faster. In that spec on pdadb.net it mentions only 12 hours! If that's true then many users are better off with the S710.
The Qalcomm MSM7200 chipset exists already since more than a year and does offer all those cool features. Usually mobile manufacturers need about a year to build phones around a new chipset. So from that point of view the timing could be right.
Here is more info about the chipset:

Anyhow, I would love to test a S730

D'you think the pic showing "active GPS" is for real or just a mockup?
GPS is a deal/no deal feature for me (in addition to the feeble battery... but as for the Vox there may be more powerful replacement batteries available).
Like for the Hermes there will most likely be a Wings100, Wings200... at least with different casing. Would a provider (like T-Mo Germany) be able to order units which are GPS hardware-deficient (lacking antenna, for instance)? For example, T-Mo Germany disabled (mechanically blocked!) the front videocall button of its "MDA vario II" Hermes variant.
How would one be able to tell if a specific S730 unit indeed has all necessary GPS hardware onboard?

Thanks for the link. Looks ok, indeed. Please keep me posted if you find a way to activate the GPS feature. Will a registry hack do?

only one else i can think of that comes close is

and dont think the wm6 is official
and cam is not 2mpix
****, like I have expected it. The HTC 6500 would be perfect but is still not available in Europe/Germany But thanks so far for your help.
Wait for the Xperia X1. It's 3". Your minimum size.
But it is very expensive, isn't it? And when will it come?

Hello
Got some screenshots..enjoy them..will post more..in some days.
G sensor can be hacked to used with other apps from registry.
Any questions, pls feel free to ask here
can you give some feedback about the performance and how much did you pay for it?
performance is better than omia and i guess better than all existing devices using msm 7200a except HTC HD..It is a testing uni. pricing is not known yet
Hi hdubli, is Mr. Broadcom again... Any thought about my search?
User22. sorry no Mr Broadcom but MS.But the registry do have some entries reg the broadcom..however u can have a look at mr Bluesolil
Any feedback on the trackball effectiveness?
How does the fake leather on the front effect the design?
Is that a flash or speaker on the back near camera? where is the speaker?
Size, will it fit well in a jeans front pocket- or will it feel bulky(too long)?
Battery life with 2-3 calls 10 minutes GSM and in general in hours?
How soon will we see it for sale?
Thank you

how would you do that in the registry? I got a P835 and the autorotation works for a limited applications only. I am also trying to make it work with apps that were build for HTC g-sensors.
Someone manage to port the HTC g-sensor wrapper to Omnia. I tried the wrapper (a few dll's) but does not work at all. I am hoping there will be developers that will look into this Asus wrapper.
Camera and related
There is no flash on the back, the speaker there seems mono and a weak one at that, camera has given me noisy pics so far, have to try it out in full day light yet, trackball is good, This is one thing that made me buy it over HTC Diamond II. I have not been able to find a good MP4 player for it yet.
On the positive side, I removed the default today addins and added PointUI. The black look of that interface goes well with the P835 design.
The phone is responsive with enough memory to spare. Though I feel let down by the lack of main storage as a lot of application add on to the Windows folder. Any help in that department is greatly appreciated (Extendir ? any body got a CAB installer for it that works on P835, I can test it if somebody can provide it for me).
Thanks HDUBLI, you have been a great contributor for the ASUS.
Guys what did you think about this pda? Plan to get one. But I heard from other forum that they said the touch scree will fail, means the stylus can't detachable on the screen.
