Finger Mouse

Have any of you seen the Finger Mouse on the Samsung Epix? That thing is the shiz. You know how our Touch Pro's have that touch-sensitive center button right... does anyone think they can either rip and port the Epix driver over to the Pro or can a smart person write up an app that does the same? That would be Awsome!!!

Finger mouse as in.....

haha i lold

AFAIK mouse pointer in Pocket PC was first bought out by HTC in their P3300 Pocket PC a.k.a HTC Artemis. The mouse is controlled by a trackball which was initially bought out on Blackberry. Now Samsung Epix seems to have a mouse pointer on screen which can be controlled by a small touchpad something similar to the ones you have on laptops.

yes.
but raphael have a touch panel around the center button.
so, that place can be useful, to make a "mouse"

The whole area downthere is actually touchsensitive
Yeah, I know, it can mean at least 2 things but I mean that the whole area under the screen i touchsensitive and not only around the button.

haha. this is the third "idea" of this.
in my post i already looked into it, but because i am new to programming on Windows mobile and also in accessing the touchpad, i was not able to call it right.
The next problem was that the SDK provided by someone, the message of a touch is only called when the window is open and in front and the demo of this sdk shows that it is also only called when you touch and release your finger of the touchpad.
Maybe this are only restrictions of the SDK programming but it seems to be not possible for my little SDK, WM, NET programming skill.
I still hope someone will make this tool or will help by / fix this SDK.
some other idea already mentioned is to use the touchpad as alternative left/right/top/bottom keypad because it is not really handy on the Touch Diamond/Touch Pro.

If it's from AT&T it's a fuze, if not it's a touch pro

Thanks. My is touch pro

Check the keyboard
If its missing the tab and control key, you got yourself a wanabe touch pro (Fuze)
Still can't believe they took those two keys away and replaced with a CAPS and OK button.....

Yeah CAPS is useless but I think the OK button is nice.
Anyways, the FUZE has AT&T 3G bands in addition to all the ones the Touch Pro has but removed the front camera. As it was said, it has a different keyboard arrangement.

damn it petard.. I was just going to say that...
Oh the Fuze also has a push to talk button right below the volume button.. that is reprogrammable (the new updated rom allows for a single push customization and you'll have to refer to the PTT remap thread to do the long push customization)

I have CAPS, TAB, CTRL, front camera and I haven't PTT button.

woah. that... is different. the fuze will also have the att logo where the front camera is supposed to be.
also, you should have att as your operator if you are using it with att.. otherwise that's not something i've seen before.
look up pictures of the tp, that might show the difference..or...... give us the pleasure of seeing photos of your phone.
the front camera and lack of ptt tells me it's not a fuze though

I search in google images for 'htc touch pro'

I never knew the difference on the keyboard, I am bummed. I miss TAB. I have never even used OK, wth.

Multitouch

Recentally people have found how mulitouch works on the leo by looking through the registry. I was wondering if we could unlock the multitouch on our phones by changing the registry. The article on the leo is on wmpoweruser.com

multitouch only works on the leo because it has a capacitive touch screen, like the iphone.
the raphael has a resistive touch screen, which is not capapble of multitouch

That is not true. The raph has multi touch. it is just locked. some apps have managed to unlock this however. an example is touch the music

Raphael doesn't have multitouch. It has a resistive screen, which means no multitouch.

Next time look around before posting if u have no knowledge on this. I even said it. if your just gonna say it doesnt exist you not helping but thank you both for actually posing something

That is not a real multitouch - real multitouch is hardware dependent/based, and that is a software-based "multitouch" with limited usage. Even the author admits that:
Multitouch for Touch the Music is entirely software-based.

Cheers.

still is there anyway to enable the software multitouch to do things like pinch and zoom in the album or opera

If you could, it would already have been done months ago. I don't think that they trick they apply in TTM can be applied for things like album.

it will register the area in between you tap in 2 different spots
next time think about it. it's not real multitouch.

lol @ you posting something from some other site like people here are dumb.
Seriously, you've been a member long enough to know that 90% of every WM hack/etc is worked on and released by people here at XDA, and if the hack didn't come from here it's known here withing minutes. Don't be rude when you get knowledgeable answers that maybe aren't what you want to hear.

while not necessarily all resistive screens are incapable of multitouch, the fuze/touch pro has an old fashion one and just is. there is simulated multitouch which you can see how it works if you have a paint program on your phone (or just open notes if you hold cause tapping selects the line for text) and press in 2 spots and move your fingers around. youll see the selection is right inbetween your two hit points.
now you can further realize how this works by viewing it in reverse. open a simulated multitouch app like touch the music and hit in between the two points that are simulating multitouch. you should get the multitouch effect.
multitouch is not locked out, it just doesnt exist on resistive touch screen phones. enjoy those apps that give you a simulated multitouch experience cause thats all you will get on your phone.

New toshiba phones

Hello
Toshiba's presence at MWC was kicked off today by launching two new phones with an emphasis on software, not hardware. The TG02 is a direct sequel to the TG01 and is one of Toshiba's first phones with capacitive touch; it uses Windows Mobile 6.5 and is likely to use 6.5.3 to get the new touch features. Custom changes have been made to the interface to bring in a 3D menu for navigating apps.
The phone is functionally very similar to its predecessor and uses a 1GHz processor as well as a 4.1-inch screen size, though unlike the old model it uses OLED instead of LCD. A microSDHC slot gives room for 32GB of storage in the 0.39-inch thick handset.
A companion, the K01, is more original and carries a slide-out keyboard in return for a thicker (0.51 inches) body that keeps the same processor, screen and storage.
Ship dates and the costs of either phone are still mysteries and won't become public until closer to launch.

We can notice spb mobile shell on toshiba tg02, is it a lite version ? Toshiba may wants to give a better image of its mobiles, and a good interface like spb could help !
-> What do you think about these 2 new devices ?
-> Do you think toshiba could hold in the battle ?

This could be my next device
K01

the K01 is the more interesting of the two devices. 4.1in qwerty device and it's still thin. Judging by the looks of the front capacitive buttons and the snapdragon chipset I'm thinking it will support Windows Phone 7. I wish it had a adjustable hinge like the Touch Pro2, but it has a 4.1in screen so it not a deal breaker for me. As much as I want this phone I'd rather wait to see what HTC will do for the next Touch Pro

I am actually interested in the K01. This is the first qwerty device to have a +4 inch screen. I send big kudos to Toshiba.

Should HTC bring out more smartphones?

Hi all,
I've been using the HTC Tornado Noble for 4 years already, and I'm still loving it, particularly because what the device could do for me
http://karhoe.net/my-windows-mobile-smartphone-my-everything.html
I have been tempted with the availabilities of many new touch screen device on the market but one of the thing that is holding me back is because I am not used to the touch screen input.
I have played with many touch screen input devices, be it capacitive or resistive and I find that I could not text as fast as I could with my T9 keypad.
No touch screen (even with vibration feedback) could provide the tactile feeling that a real keypad can provide. Furthermore, the dictionary function and predictive text input of a WinMo device is just very responsive.
It's been a while since HTC release a smartphone, last I recalled was the HTC S740, is it really the case that smartphones would be obsolete soon?
Maybe the iPhone craze has caused HTC to dedicate its resources towards making touch screen devices.

Yes
Another good smartphones are Excalibur and later Maple

The Best Google Android Phone Yet
The HTC Hero is a gorgeous smartphone that takes the best of the two previous Google Android phones -- the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G -- and builds on them. It's certainly not perfect, but the HTC Hero is, so far, my favorite Android phone, without a doubt. And it's earned a spot on my list of the best smartphones available today.

But nevertheless, it's still a touch screen input device!

Smartphone=non touch screen - PPC=touch screen
Not Excalibur or Maple, both are non touch smartphones

I actually think that HTC are going in the right direction with phones such as the Touch Pro2, which use a touchscreen for navigation and a qwerty keyboard for speedy typing - even faster than the alphanumeric layout used by normal phones.

The problem is there is still a niche for people who wants a real simple phone with PDA function, that's smartphone!
I would exceptionally prefer a candybar, no sliding mechanism, those ribbon are just thin and fragile

On that line of no touch smartphones, one of the best available is this:
