Opinion noted, but other backers disagree and back the product to over $3 mil (with over 26k backers). If more thought like you, then the project wouldn't have gone this far in two days. Just a thought.
I get you can do that through a hdmi device. But what if you don't need to? I mean if we can somehow connect all our devices to this, that would be awesome. As for overpriced? Well it may be but to get a project off the ground you need revenue. To me it's worth the price and worth trying out. I mean it'll be as much as a Nexus 7 (8gb) with two controllers. So the price point for me, is not overpriced IMO. But hey that's me.

You obviously did not even read the article are go to the kickstarter page on the project or you would not have asked such a un informed question.What is different, everything about this console from the software to the hardware is open sourced. You can modify the hardware and and software, in fact the developers of the console encourage it. The console promote free play which means all games will have to have at least a free demo. Game developers don't have to buy exspensive SDKs or pay for licensing. This means that the cost of games will be a lot cheaper and that game developers can fully control the development of their games and develop games as they choose which is good for game developers and gamers. As far the $99 price, how can you say that is over priced? Have you looked at how much other gaming consoles are? The cheapest consol is the Wii and it is $200. What about the mobile device you have, you don't think they are way over priced? If you really can not see the significance of this console you should not even be on XDA.

Portable Computer Conversion

Three days ago, my computer drew its last breath. Knowing I would not be able to get another for a little while, I decided to make due with what I had......My Skyrocket. Here is what I did, with some pics.
Let me start by saying that my case is a cover/belt holster combo with a kickstand. Next, I bought an OTG cable from Amazon for around $5. There are some much cheaper, but I hate waiting the shipping time from Hong Kong. Then at Wal-Mart, I picked up an Onn USB 2.0 hub for $11, and an Onn wireless keyboard on clearance for $7. So for my project, I only spent $23. Everything else I already had lying around. The Hub and the OTG cable are attatched to the back of my case by a velcro type material, and are removed easily, but do not fall off. Very sturdy stuff. Oddly enough, with these on the back, the phone fits even better in my hand. It actually makes contact with my palm and gives me a much more comfortable grip. They stay on there at all times, except when in the kickstand and deployed.
Now, I needed a desktop replacement. My choice was an app in the market called Complete Linux Installer. I downloaded the Ubuntu large Image and Backtrack. I have placed Backtrack on my 4Gb thumbdrive, and Ubuntu on the 8 Gb thumbdrive. So basically, I am using no memory on my internal or external sd. Here and some pics of the setup.

That's really using your head. Does the SR do well with performance on Linux? Also, I'd bet all that would fit in an Altoids tin or other such small box.

LOVE IT!!
Really enjoy seeing stuff like this, more so when they use my app P

if only we could use the otg adapter while charging...

You did Complete linux installer? Awesome! Going to be doing the exact same thing with a nexus 7 very soon. Thank for the app! Priceless.

I'm also a fan of bigger screens, so here's another suggestion:
why not connect the phone to a tv/monitor through hdmi and use a bluetooth mouse & keyboard set up?

Look at this guy. Bluetooth mouse and keyboard + hdmi connected all at the same time. Now that's a portable computer. Except he does it on a Note. Can it be done on our phone?

Nice... pretty cool, but I would have gone differently.
I don't know about where you are, but older laptops in the late P4 to Core2/Core2Duo era go for well under $100 on Craigslist or at the state surplus office (which are usually 3-5 yr old HP Business class machines out on rotation, $80 each with A/C charger), add Kubuntu or your favorite flavor of Linux or find an OEM Windows CD and you are good to go and performance wise would be much better than using the SR as a PC.
Still cool... not knocking you, very innovative.

Wow, this was a long time ago. Since then, I just use my Nexus 7 with ubuntu desktop, mouse, kb and 2 ext hdds. Still not bought another pc. Since I have the fastboot and adb binaries for arm, I really have no need. Gave the SR to my oldest daughter and now use my S4. Glad to see this caught some interest.

I am with you! If this phone is going to be unlocked and i can mess around with it and it works on AT&T, i have been waiting a long time for its release. $1170 for the 64gb one, which seems a bit much, but i will sping for it. It was this or the LG Nexus G, but i am not so sure about it.
So the 13 megpix sensor is from Sony, is that good? IDK but i was hoping it was better than the Samsung G3 and maybe even dare to dream equal to the 920 Nokia.
So pumped for this one.
So i just googled straight talk, how good is the data? and are they LTE ready? How does that work? There service area seems thin, and i am a rep for 7 southeastern states, this does not seem like a good option for me, am i missing something? I would love to dump at&t and do that $45 a month plan, no contract.

Sony made the camera for the iphone 4S, they are very very good at that. The data depends on if you get it through AT&T or T-Mobile. I'm planning on getting the T-mobile version for the HSPA+ speeds. In your case, you could have the same coverage by using an AT&T MNVO at a fraction of the price. The upside is there's no prepaid 4G. If you want that, you might consider T-mobile's new unlimited data plan, but then you'd be under contract again :?

MNVO thru straight talk will give me AT&t's coverage and speeds? I would be so happy if that were true. Why wouldnt more people be doing this?

Being an Infinity owner, I couldn't help but think of what the Padfone 2 should have had:
- Keyboard dock
- Full HD display
Also, can the tablet be used without the phone? I would assume not since the tablet is supposed to use the phone's data/apps.

I'm pretty sure the phone's processor and memory also power the tab, the tab is just a screen and battery for the most part.

I'm more interested in getting just the phone than the full kit. I already have an Infinity so I don't need the full Padfone bundle, but the phone itself has some nice specs.

My mother has padfone 1 it's excellent, can't fathom why they left out a keyboard dock from this one. That's the whole reason she got one to replace an old iPhone and iPad and not need a laptop

Couldn't agree more. I also don't see any mention of the stylus that allows you to answer calls while the tablet is docked.
Why Asus would abandon these two unique features is beyond me! Definitely won't consider buying this for my mom now - disappointed

Wonder if the old stylus is compatible since its just BT.... but kb docking is something I would have.

I've seen the coverage from a bunch of website.
I'm pretty sure that they also presented the stylus for this one. I don't know about compatibility for the previous stylus though.
They also said that the keyboard will also be available, i expect by the time this beauty hit the store shelf.
I'm really waiting for this, but being a GNex owner, I hope they have JB ready shortly after it hit the shelf.

lol I don't think they can do that. First, I can't find official information regarding the keyboard (I have watched the live event and there is no mention of the keyboard), are you guys sure that there is a keyboard dock? Second, the Padfone 2 has a new connector at the bottom (around the same size and fully compatible with micro-USB), so there is no way we can fit the Padfone 2 with any Transformer keyboard docks.

Nexus 10 Pics, Specs, and More

Hi all,
I got my hands on some pictures of the Google Nexus 10 from Samsung. Full details and pictures are below at my blog. Personally, I think it looks very nice. Most excited about the Exynos 5250 and Mali T604. Android 4.2 looks like a very minor upgrade. What do you think?

I've been hesitant to buy any android tablet because it would just be a bigger phone. The screen resolution looks to be a big selling point ( HD++)
As a side note. I would think that for tablets the better camera would be onthe front of the device? Always seen it as strange that they follow the lead from phones.

So they are now using the Nexus 7 button and notification bar layout. It looks okay on a 7" tablet, but I prefer the all in one bottom notification bar on 10" tablets. Hopefully they haven't removed the option for this and a simple tweak is all it takes to get this back.
How long until Apple finds someway to create a lawsuit over this device since its a Samsung?

Same here, but the HP Touchpad fire sale was just too good to pass up. I mostly used it to learn CWM/TWRP and flashing ROMs.
A tablet that would be attractive for me to buy at full price would be something with an x86/64 processor (not an Atom, either something like an i3 or better) that could run desktop operating systems like Windows, which is where most of the real productivity apps are. I'd be able to dual boot Android/Windows since only the ARM platform is locked down in Windows 8. Something with a dockable keyboard/mouse like a laptop. Unfortunately the price point is still too high on these kind of things.

Ohh wait, I can try again - I think it will be over 9000 yen... multiplied by 3. Probably 4.

This would be an awesome thing to have around. 16GB is enough for me personally, but for others it just doesn't cut it. I'd be interested in buying one.

Already saw this project in one of the numerous topics talking about storage restriction.
Thanks for putting some light on it with a dedicated topic :good:
Hope it will reach its goal (start is a bit slow, but is anticipated as it needs some advertisement) :fingers-crossed:

I would definitely be interested in buying one if I could just take it out and put it on my key ring

You can always get the microSD card out of it and insert it in something like this to get your storage work on classic USB device :

Yes, there are multiple microsd to USB adapter in the market, you can find them in stores like walmart, target, or online, Amazon have many of them.

Surely its easier and cheaper to do what I did, just get an otg adapter and a usb card reader.
Cost me about £2.50 in total and works great.

I'm in, it would be good if you could make this soon as many people want to buy on day 1 and this will decide whether they get a 8gb one or a16gb one

I'm sure without your Majesty's request he was planning to start production in 2015.

I don't mean to hog your potential customers but it would be against the rules to make another thread.
That's being said, follow my sig if you want to DIY. Cheer*

Threats are targeted to different devices with differents users, no really breaking the rules. We are not looking for customer either, we want supporters. DYI is fine, I do it all the time, however some don't like the risk of damaging the device, other don't have access to the right tools or skills, like soldering irons or hot glue guns.

I really don't like the idea of it just sitting there like that. It's just asking to be broken off leaving the USB connector stuck inside the device. Would be nice if Google and/or manufacturers would get over the stupidity and just include the SD on the device...

While we wait for that to happen this is just one option.

Hi,
A humble Qs, Will this converted work for Nexus4? Now since google clarified that nexus4 does not have OTG, How this device can work?
