Hi
Does anyone have any knowledge of how good iPlay for PPC is?
I think is relitively new.....
It looks to be a pretty professional peice of software to me, but the demo version doesn't seem to allow Bluetooth Headphone setup....(unless someone knows different)...so Im looking for some feedback before spending out.
Here is a link to the demo:-http://iplay.40th.com/
Anybody knows about any software application taht enables imate to be used as handsfree phone?
First of all before you post questions like this be sure you already RTFM and searched the forum.
It states that while a phone connection is active all you have to do is press the green button for a few seconds and the sound is transfered to the rear speaker.
Other option for handsfree is by using it's supplied wired headset and if you want a wireless one go and buy yourself a bluetooth headset.

hehehe this one is new to me. any way i agree reading the manual is a must before asking questions.
@barisg,
hope this is what you looking for.
Hi guys,
I'm a noobie here as my whopping total of 1 posts indicates. :lol:
I've been reading through the forum over the weekend and have learned a lot from the posts here. Unfortunately its left me more confused over which XDA I should get. So i'm going to take the easy route and ask you guys. :wink:
I've got, and have been happy using an Ipaq H5550 for a couple of years now. Both for work and pleasure, but 'The Powers That Be' now claim I need a mobile as well :?
I've spent a fair bit of time, effort and money on the H5550, what with Accessories, Utils, Apps and Games, which i'd like to keep if possible. So, my question is:
Which XDA would you guys advice as a replacement for my H5550 ?
On spec's my guess is the XDA Exec, but any advice from real world users would be more than welcome.
Thanks ZaForD.
Ah yes the H5550, an oldy but a goody!
Any way, for us to recommend a device we need to know more about your preferences / intended use.
The hottest thing (if you can wait a bit) is the Hermes / TyTN that's about to come out. It's only deficiency is that it is not VGA like the exec.
Personally, I like my Jamin (Prophet) because of connectivity and size and a price that doesn't go through the roof, but some people might say it's a bit slow, and has no keyboard (not that I need one).
And, if you don't mind a big device with a square 240 by 240 screen, there is the HP 6900 that has WiFi BT and GPS (a rare combination in a phone).
As they say to each hi own, so you have to be a bit more specific.
P.S. Welcome to the forum!
Hi levenum,
Oop's, I can see how some info on what features I need/use would be helpful before you give any advice.
Basically, I do mobile repairs, helpdesk/support, for small offices in London. So I need a fairly powerful device to run Network/Daignostic software. WiFi is a must both for connecting to local networks and our office via the Net. BT would be handy for handsfree use, the Ipaq can get pretty heavy when using Skype for a while.
Size isn't really a problem, as i'm used to the H5550. Which from what I gather is bigger than most of the XDA's here. Again the Ipaq has no keyboard so thats not a problem. Neither is GPS, after 10 years as a messenger around London, I think I know my way round. :wink:
I'll check out the Prophet and Hermes, the more options the better.
p.s. Thanks for the welcome.
Well now that I know that your main uses are WiFi and Skype I can tell you that Prophet may not be the device for you after all.
It supports WiFi b and g (where a lot of phones only support b) and it has BT, but from what I've seen on the forums it needs to be overclocked for Skype to work smoothly (although it comes with Skype preinstalled).
I haven't tested this my self though.
One thing I forgot to tell you is that there is a comparison chart in the WiKi for different HTC devices, and there is a nice site www.gsmarena.com that gives specs and user ratings on most GSM phones out there today from different companies.
Check it out.
Thanks for your help levenum,
I checked out GSMarena and came up with a short list of XDA Exec, and Atom Exec there was no real info on the Hermes. But I read alot about it here, so I added it to my list.
After hunting round for most of the afternoon, it turns out that the Atom and the Hermes. Aren't really available yet, so it looks like i'll be getting the XDA Exec. Just gotta see whos got the best deals now.
And start working my way through the Universal forum. :shock:
Welcome to the forum!
Having had xda's for a few years now, (since the 1st one was released) and in my work testing many new devices, im still delighted with my exec, espcially the screen, but mainly the keyboard and connectivity options. For your uses the mini laptop mode the exec on a desk whilst working, in tandem with the keyboard, you will soon wonder how you managed without one!
Down sides to the exec, as a phone its maybe a bit bulky to use as an everyday mobile (pub, days out without the car etc) but not much worse than any other pda phone on the market.
Hope that helps settle your mind to the exec, you wont regret it i reckon!
Cheers,
Bryson
Hi Bryson,
Thanks for the welcome.
I just saw a couple of comments about the 'laptop mode' while getting very confused in the Universal section. :shock:
I have to say I really like the idea of it. I used to use a Thinkpad X21 [lovely little laptop] for work and missed the screen and keyboard when I first swaped over to the H5550. Now it looks like I can have the best of both worlds.
The Exec is around the same size and weight as the H5550, which I usually carry around with me as an MP3 player when not at work. So the bulk shouldn't a problem.
A couple of things i'm still alittle unsure about [due mainly to not having a mobile for years] is how well it works with a BT headset, and is it possible to use it as a phone via the BT headset, while using Terminal Service over WiFi ?
If it can, I may never have to leave the pub.
I have a pair of motorola s9's and the s9HD. I was wondering if there was software or a way for both to be paired to the Touch Pro at the same time? Ive tried and can only get one or the other to pair. Id greatly appreciate all and any advice. Thanks so much in advance
Hookemcats

Thanks so much for the answer.... Greatly appreciated.
Hi, is their any kind of software\hardware to android, that can add my cellphone InfraRed?
Bluetooth and IR are totally different frequencies. You would need a piece of hardware that would hook up to your bluetooth to use IR.
To answer your question, I know of no hardware that does that, but it would be nice!
i know that their is something like that, bcause i remember that i've heard about it. i wanna know if someone familiar with it.
Could you probably give some more informations about what exactly you would like to achieve? Ok, it is clear in general you want to control "something" that only has ir. But it could be that there are already other projects for this specific device. I think currently your only chance is to find some smart guys in a microcontroller forum who likes this project. I am not aware of a consumer solution.
