For your batteries, the solution is there:
Perso, I have a sound which informed me as soon as there remains 25%, then I charge partially. ---
To optimize the lifespan of the batteries
When to reload the batteries? Should a complete discharge be awaited? Does a complete discharge have for effect "to restore", or "to repair", a battery which would lose in autonomy?
The answers to these frequent questions depend on the type of battery considered.
- various batteries and accumulators
Let us retain three families of batteries:
- Nor-Cd (Nickel and Cadmium);
- Nor-Mh (Nickel and Metal-Hydride);
- the Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer.
The three are not subjected to the same rules of use and maintenance. The batteries with lithium have one lifespan (often) more reduced but are of a less constraining maintenance. Nor-Cd are most complex to maintain, but propose the longest lifespan (a number of complete cycles), with the proviso of respecting the constraints of use, while Nor-Mh an interval proposes.
- Of the two "ratchet effects"
The batteries Nor-Cd and Nor-Mh are, both, subjected so that one calls, in the majority of the situations wrongly, the ratchet effect. There exists, indeed, two ratchet effects.
The first case, extremely rare, is that in which a battery ' souvient' of the moment (level of load) to which the user is proceeded systematically to a refill. Thus, ' habituée' with being reloaded on this very precise level, the battery can refuse to function beyond: it memorized a threshold. It is a phenomenon far from frequent, with which researchers of NASA were confronted. The commun run of the users will never manage to reload systematically its battery Nor-Cd or Nor-Mh on the same level of discharge, and this with sufficiently of precision to be confronted with this situation.
The second ratchet effect, sometimes qualified "false ratchet effect", is most current. The "false ratchet effect" is defined as "the crystalline material formation causing [ one ] loss of capacity". In other words, it acts of a chemical phenomenon, caused by electric overloads, which involves an apparent loss of endurance of the battery concerned. To avoid it, it is advisable never not to leave a battery in overload and to proceed, punctually (but not systematically) with complete discharges of the battery (see low).
It is important to note that the batteries Nor-Mh are exposed to the ratchet effect as well as Nor-Cd: most recent Nor-Mh had like commercial argument not to be exposed to this nuisance. Actually, the phenomenon is less sensitive for Nor-Mh for a simple reason: they have one lifespan, by nature, shorter, so that the effect of memory appears at the end of ' the life naturelle'.
The batteries Nor-Cd and Nor-Mh, very widespread, must thus be the subject of precise rules of use (which are worth more for Nor-Cd, therefore).
- maintenance of the batteries Nor-Cd and Nor-Mh: myths and realities
It is an extremely widespread commonplace: the idea according to which it is necessary to await a complete discharge of the batteries Nor-Mh or Nor-Cd before proceeding to a refill... This idea is largely false: it is rather advisable to carry out complete discharges in a specific way, but not systematically. Canadian professionals observed that the complete and systematic discharges had harmful effects resulting in a loss of endurance.
If it is not imperative systematically to carry out a complete discharge of the batteries, it can sometimes be necessary to operate major discharges in a specific way, making it possible to fight against the "false ratchet effect", by reversing the chemical reaction described above. It is thus possible "to restore" a battery victim of crystallization... But this method supposes to have an ad hoc material. Why can't one use the electronic instrument profiting from the batteries to discharge these last? For a simple reason...
The majority of the electronic instruments stop functioning since the batteries do not provide any more the good power. However it is exactly what occurs with a battery victim of the false ratchet effect: the crystallized part does not make it possible to obtain a voltage as important as the intact part. There is thus a fall of tension. Indeed, if the battery could provide 1,2v when it was intact, as soon as it will reach the threshold from which nickel ' cristallisé' enters in action, the current is lower (for example with 1,02v). The electronic instrument will immediately cease functioning, giving the illusion that the battery lost in capacity; actually, the battery is able always to function. Many users replace the battery in load then, longer than usually: the phenomenon of crystallization worsens, and the battery is less and less powerful.
The solution then consists in discharging the battery completely... But that cannot be done with the electronic instrument, since this one stops functioning since the battery does not deliver sufficiently any more of electric tension. It is, so imperative to use an electronic equipment of discharge and to strictly control this discharge: one speaks then about major discharge.
- the tidal wave Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Ion-Polymer
Since a few tens of month, the batteries Lithium-Ion, before used almost exclusively on the portable computers, made their appearance on electronic instruments of very reduced format: Mobile PDA and telephones in particular. The iPod also has a battery Lion-Ion-Polymer.
These batteries have the advantage of not being subjected to "the ratchet effect" of the fact, in particular, of the best held of lithium vis-a-vis with the problem of crystallization; the user is thus freed from the traditional rules: it is indeed useless (even bad) to carry out periodic major discharges. However, the overloads, if they are theoretically less dangerous, are to be avoided. In fact, it is preferable to proceed to short daily loads of a few minutes, and this so as to reduce the number of complete cycles of refill.
Let us conclude on wisdom from the Support service from Handspring: "to frequently proceed to partial loads the optimal effectiveness of any aircraft equipped with a battery lithium-ion ensures."
That it is said!

Optimiser la durée de vie des batteries
Quand recharger les batteries ? Faut-il attendre une décharge complète ? Une décharge complète a-t-elle pour effet de "restaurer", ou "réparer", une batterie qui perdrait en autonomie ?
Les réponses à ces questions fréquentes dépendent du type de batterie considéré.
- Des différentes batteries et accus
Retenons trois familles de batteries :
- les Ni-Cd (Nickel et Cadmium) ;
- les Ni-Mh (Nickel et Metal-Hydrure) ;
- les Lithium-Ion et Lithium-Polymère.
Les trois ne sont pas soumises aux mêmes règles d’usage et d’entretien. Les batteries au lithium ont une durée de vie (souvent) plus réduite mais sont d’un entretien moins contraignant. Les Ni-Cd sont les plus complexes à entretenir, mais proposent la durée de vie la plus longue (nombre de cycles complets), à condition de respecter les contraintes d’usage, tandis que les Ni-Mh proposent un entre-deux.
- Des deux "effets mémoire"
Les batteries Ni-Cd et Ni-Mh sont, toutes deux, soumises à ce que l’on appelle, dans la plupart des situations abusivement, l’effet mémoire. Il existe, en effet, deux effets mémoire.
Le premier cas, extrêmement rare, est celui dans lequel une batterie se ’souvient’ du moment (niveau de charge) auquel l’utilisateur procède systématiquement à une recharge. Ainsi, ’habituée’ à être rechargée à ce niveau très précis, la batterie peut refuser de fonctionner au-delà : elle a mémorisé un seuil. Il s’agit là d’un phénomène très peu fréquent, auquel ont été confrontés des chercheurs de la NASA. Le commun des utilisateurs ne parviendra jamais à recharger systématiquement sa batterie Ni-Cd ou Ni-Mh au même niveau de décharge, et ce avec suffisamment de précision pour être confronté à cette situation.
Le second effet mémoire, parfois qualifié de "faux effet mémoire", est le plus courant. Le "faux effet mémoire" se définit comme "la formation de matériau cristallin occasionnant [une] perte de capacité". En d’autres termes, il s’agit d’un phénomène chimique, provoqué par des surcharges électriques, qui entraîne une perte apparente d’endurance de la batterie concernée. Pour l’éviter, il convient de ne jamais laisser une batterie en surcharge et de procéder, ponctuellement (mais pas systématiquement) à des décharges complètes de la batterie (voir plus bas).
Il est important de noter que les batteries Ni-Mh sont exposées à l’effet mémoire au même titre que les Ni-Cd : les plus récentes Ni-Mh avaient comme argument commercial de ne pas être exposées à ce désagrément. En réalité, le phénomène est moins sensible pour les Ni-Mh pour une raison simple : elles ont une durée de vie, par nature, plus courte, si bien que l’effet de mémoire apparaît en fin de ’vie naturelle’.
Les batteries Ni-Cd et Ni-Mh, très répandues, doivent donc faire l’objet de règles d’usage précises (qui valent plus pour les Ni-Cd, donc).
- L’entretien des batteries Ni-Cd et Ni-Mh : mythes et réalités
Il est un lieu commun fort répandu : l’idée selon laquelle il faut attendre une décharge complète des batteries Ni-Mh ou Ni-Cd avant de procéder à une recharge... Cette idée est largement fausse : il convient plutôt de procéder à des décharges complètes de façon ponctuelle, mais pas systématiquement. Des professionnels Canadiens ont observé que les décharges complètes et systématiques avaient des effets nocifs se traduisant par une perte d’endurance.
S’il n’est pas impératif de procéder systématiquement à une décharge complète des batteries, il peut parfois être nécessaire d’opérer des décharges profondes de façon ponctuelle, permettant de lutter contre le "faux effet mémoire", en inversant la réaction chimique décrite plus haut. Il est ainsi possible de "restaurer" une batterie victime de la cristallisation... Mais cette méthode suppose d’avoir un matériel ad hoc. Pourquoi ne peut-on pas utiliser l’appareil électronique bénéficiant des batteries pour décharger ces dernières ? Pour une raison simple...
La plupart des appareils électroniques s’arrêtent de fonctionner dès lors que les batteries ne fournissent plus la bonne tension. Or c’est exactement ce qui se produit avec une batterie victime du faux effet mémoire : la partie cristallisée ne permet pas d’obtenir un voltage aussi important que la partie intacte. Il y a donc une baisse de tension. En effet, si la batterie pouvait fournir 1,2v lorsqu’elle était intacte, dès qu’elle va atteindre le seuil à partir duquel le nickel ’cristallisé’ entre en action, le courant sera inférieur (par exemple à 1,02v). L’appareil électronique cessera immédiatement de fonctionner, donnant l’illusion que la batterie a perdu en capacité ; en réalité, la batterie est toujours en mesure de fonctionner. Beaucoup d’utilisateurs replacent alors la batterie en charge, plus longtemps que d’ordinaire : le phénomène de cristallisation s’aggrave, et la batterie est de moins en moins performante.
La solution consiste alors à décharger complètement la batterie... Mais cela ne peut pas être fait avec l’appareil électronique, puisque celui-ci s’arrête de fonctionner dès lors que la batterie ne délivre plus suffisamment de tension électrique. Il est, de ce fait, impératif d’utiliser un matériel électronique de décharge et de contrôler strictement cette décharge : on parle alors de décharge profonde.
- Le raz-de-marée Lithium-Ion et Lithium-Ion-Polymère
Depuis quelques dizaines de mois, les batteries Lithium-Ion, auparavant utilisées presque exclusivement sur les ordinateurs portables, ont fait leur apparition sur des appareils électroniques de format très réduit : PDA et téléphones mobiles en particulier. Le iPod dispose également d’une batterie Lion-Ion-Polymère.
Ces batteries ont l’avantage de ne pas être soumises à "l’effet mémoire" du fait, notamment, d’une meilleure tenue du lithium face au problème de la cristallisation ; l’utilisateur est ainsi affranchi des règles classiques : il est en effet inutile (voire mauvais) de procéder à des décharges profondes périodiques. Cependant, les surcharges, si elles sont théoriquement moins dangereuses, sont à éviter. De fait, il est préférable de procéder à de courtes charges quotidiennes de quelques minutes, et ce de manière à réduire le nombre de cycles complets de recharge.
Concluons sur la sagesse du service Support d’Handspring : "procéder fréquemment à des charges partielles assure l’efficacité optimale de tout appareil équipé d’une batterie lithium-ion."
Qu’on se le dise !

Leo + Igo8 + motorbike + my pocket

Hi !
I want know if there are any solutions to make my Leo with Igo 8 in my pocket when i ride (i can't because when the screen is lock, gps doesn't work)... And the voice explain me witch road i take....
Thanks for your help !
Sorry for my english, now in french !
Bonjour,
J'aimerai savoir s'il existe une solution pour pouvoir utiliser mon Leo avec IG8 sur la moto (Téléphone dans la poche) et que la voix me guide...
Car quand le téléphone est verrouillé le GPS ne fonctionne plus...
Merci de votre aide !

I use one of these small rechargeable 3600mAh batteries, connect using the USB charging sync lead that came with the HD2, the screen will then stay alive when running iGO.
I wrote a review of how I used the larger 5400mAh rechargeable battery from the same company fitted to my previous Yamaha R1 so I could use sat nav on my HTC Diamond, and also hear speed camera warnings through a helmet bluetooth set, the same principles can be applied to the HD2, find the review here.

Ok, it's an idea ! But i've got an Kawasaki ER6-N and no front protect so i want put my leo i my pocket and lisen the GPS voice with the headspeaker. So, there are any solution to make the GPS avalable when the screen is locked ?
Thx !

Why dont you leave the screen unlocked?

You can change the power settings so the screen won't turn off even if you're not plugged in.

GPS + Motorbike + Pocket is a very old problem.
Unfortunately it seems that most GPS manufacturer totally forgot the bikers. We don't need the screen, on the contrary we need to turn it off.
Why can't they understand ?
I'm dreaming of a "Motorbike Mode" on some GPS (more voice, less screen).

try this guys: http://w1.ozone.mine.nu/default.asp?c=index_lj
What it is. LightJacker is an universal program launcher that keeps the display backlight from turning off. It was made with TomTom in mind (and its endemic backlight problems), but it should work with any application, game, GPS navigation software, and so on.
Advantages. LightJacker is better than other apps that do the same thing, because:
•it doesn't require installation, it is stand-alone
•it doesn't install any boot-start program that will slow down your phone
•it is a native program, not requiring you to install the .NET framework, Mortscript or other runtimes
•it doesn't require to be started before the target application and to be closed afterwards
•when you are not using the target application, the screen will turn off as usual instead of staying lighted permanently
•it doesn't mess with your personal phone's settings such as backlight or power saving settings
•in fact, LightJacker doesn't touch your phone's operating system at all
•you don't have to place ugly icons in the Start menu, because LightJacker's .lnk file can have your app's icon
•it's lightweight, taking away only 13K of disk space

Bugsykoosh,
Thank you very much for the tip, but my understanding is that LightJacker keeps the display backlight from turning off.
What would be useful is if we can turn off the screen with the GPS still working in the background.

Bonjour,
je ne connais pas spécifiquement ton téléphone mais assez bien Igo8 que j'utilise depuis un moment sur un PDA ainsi que sur un windowsphone et je pense qu'avec deux petits réglages çà devrait le faire :
- dans Igo8 va au menu réglages / dispositif / gestion de l'énergie, si tu mets "économique" ton écran va fortement baisser en intensité au bout de quelques secondes d'inactivité tout en laissant Igo fonctionner, donc économie d'énergie mais ton GPS reste actif.
- toujours dans réglages / Avertissements / active le mode sécurité, ce qui bloquera l'écran tactile pendant que tu roules (et donc d'éventuels clics non voulus dans ta poche !).
Avec çà normalement ton phone ne passe plus en veille...
J'espère que çà t'aura aidé, @+

Déjà essayé ! mais le temps que tu le mettes dans ta poche ça te change tout !
Je continu de chercher... !
In English:
LightJacker is an idea but it's keep my screen unlock. Igo 8 option lock is not work at all...

I think i found a solution !!
I try tomorow morning and post a feedback...

Really interested in this too. Used to use my Touch HD in the tank pack under the map cover with headphones hooked up. Tried leaving the display on in the wide chest pocket, but when I took the HD out it displayed "Are you sure to dial this contact: emergency services?" That was when I shut it off.
A way to have the audio & Gps active only without touch functions would be perfect.

My solution
I tried a few in pocket solutions but ended up giving up. Found it was hard to navigate with audio only and also gps reception suxed.
Ended up making a custom phone mount on the handlebars of my motorbike.
Currently waiting on a basic phone holder to appear on ebay. then will post some pics on how it is done.
I thought IGO had a screen lock function??
Then just turn your screen backlight right down without actually turning the unit off.
Anyone seen anything like this for the HD2? Just want the tray and not the screen mount

Awesome !
I try this morning and it's work !
but i need more long trip to say it's very OK ! (tomorow)
The Solution :
- Download last version of S2U2 software. In power option, select "but only blank screen = ON"
- With regedit, remove windows screen auto lock: In order to disable the WM 6.5 lock add the registry entry
HTML:
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend”
as DWORD and set it to “0″.
- Unable shutdown after X time in power Windows option
So, when IGO8 is lunch, don't touch during 17 second (this value can be modify in S2U2) and S2U2 lock ig8 screen and shutdown after but igo8 work always...
Make some feedback please...

I got one of these for my birthday recently, http://www.amazon.co.uk/TomTom-Rider-v2-Satellite-Navigation/dp/B000RT1BFM/ref=pd_cp_ce_3 Works pretty well.....

Epic fail.
@Tanki: Will try tomorrow and post my result (using TomTom).

Using gps nav on moto or bike
si tu veux tu peux également aller voir sur le site :http://www.smartroute.fr
qui dispose d'un support pour mettre le HD2 sur une moto ou un vélo.
you can also have a look on this site: http://www.smartroute.fr which proposes motobike support for navigational PDA unit like the HD2. For english speakers : you can go on BRODIT website.

Amazing that none of the current GPS software developers has bikers in mind.

l 'll try it tomorrow and make feedback Up to now l was using scala rider Q2 and Beemer BTaudionav but it's not working anymore on my new HD2

[Trang 6.5.5 - 23563 - X1] - FR + WWE - Available

POST #1 IS ENGLISH / WWE VERSION ONLY.
FOR FRENCH, GO TO POST #2
POUR LE FRANCAIS, RENDEZ-VOUS AU MESSAGE #2
Hi guys,
I'm actually developping a full french/WWE ROM, including a lot of softwares.
This ROM is almost complete, but I miss some important points..
1) I'm looking for a good Dialer, 2G or 3G in 040C (french) version.
2) I'm looking for a "ready-to-go" TF2D + Weather OEM package, in 0409 or 040C.
If you can help me, then I will be grateful!
For the english people, here is my first (0409 / English) version:
CLICK HERE
PLEASE DONATE HERE
And here are some screenshots:
ImageShack.us
ImageShack.us
ROM is including a lot of stuffs, I will soon propose a list of the available app's!
I'm using AEButton, so there are many shortcuts as Copy/Paste, Vol Up/Down, TaskManager, and many many others!
I'm also using ShowCase, then, watch out the top of the screen!

#2 IS FOR FRENCH VERSION ONLY
Pour nos amis francophones, je vous prierai de patienter, la ROM est en cours de création, et ne saurait que tarder!
MERCI POUR VOS DONS
La ROM est directement parallèle à la future version anglaise/WWE, c'est-à-dire la Trang - English - X2.
Elle contient donc les mêmes logiciels, à l'identique, le même TF2D, raccourcis, etc..
N'hésitez pas, dès sa sortie, à me faire part de vos moindres soucis, remarques, suggestions!

KNOWN BUGS AND FIXES
* Weather tab won't work in TF2D.. For the -X2 version, I deleted every weather files (12 Mb gained!)
* Lock Settings won't work.. I did not find any solution at the moment, except to install SmartLock
* SlidingSound won't work, but it is resolved for the X2 version!
* TF2D's readability is being resolved for the X2
Something else ? Please, TELL US!

Still reserved...

So the Eng ver is ready to go ? I'll be glad to try it out if so.

Yes, it is! The next one, called Trang English V2 will be released soon!
In the same time will the French V1 be released too.

don't...
...forget to get a better looking task bar, one that matches the rom
just a thought btw

Hello Zebra363,
I'll be glad to test your ROM on my French Kaiser.
May I ask you a clean ROM as well ?
Christian

Of course, here it is :
Here

Well, I ment a 6.5.x clean ROM, the link seems to be for a 6.1

What do you exactly want? A stock (official) ROM, or a light cooked ROM?
My ROM is actually in full version only, but a light ROM is a project I should consider..

superb
hi,
I use your french Trang V7.5 since the begining and il should say that i love your work. I will test this one as soon as possible and give you the results.

Hi, Thanks a lot!
I will release the French-X1 as soon as possible!

I'm looking for a 6.5.x not much loaded with programs I don't use (typically games) and having a good support for French Hardware Keyboard. I can of course live with a Full version provided that it is not customized with "nice" icons or background image. I ask this because I use my Kaiser to test software for a computer magazine and capture screens should be close as an original device.

You could try my old ROM versions..
HERE
V6 and V7.5 are the latests I made before..
And see the changelogs THERE
Or you can wait until I release a new one!
Send me in PrivateMessage a list of app's that you would add or remove..

I've no hurry, my ideal ROM is close to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577568 which is for another device I own. I'd love to have something similar for my Kaiser even in English provided that French hardware keyboard is fully supported. I let you choose what app is worth to be added or removed to keep is light and fully functionnal. I've no specific religion about that must be in or out except I prefer to have Microsoft and/or HTC only software (just an hint). At your convenience, you may also want to add sofware that everyone consider useful like JBed, a Reg Editor, Flash Player or PDF Reader...
The real things that annoys me is, by priority, graphic customization then extra and non-standard games.
I whised to have to time to customize my own ROM but most of all I respect *your* time.
Please don't spend a second on this dreamed ROM unless it is *your own* dream.
I'll be very happy to test a future 6.5.x ROM whatever you putted in.

A bit of news:
I am trying to find the best time TF2D compromise, and it
the application on which I am leaning more for the moment. Indeed, it
is the "base" of the skin of the Kaiser, then, is also on it any
plays, the choice of a ROM .. Using a Kaiser and ugly, and be
10MB required to install a skin to each hardreset is 'con' ..
I therefore, in addition:
- Added some shortcuts in the Internet tab (WVD, Messenger,
Facebook, Google, my blog, RSSHub)
- Fully translated in the traditional way, all the menus TF2D of
so that ALL text is visible ..
- Created a skin, based on a suitable WVGA screen
And I am actively seeking a way to get from the first
installation, operation, optimal weather applets!
My goal is that the rest TF2D maximum clarity, it
So I decided to leave the skin of my version X1 ..
(I'm sorry, due to lack of time, I translated my text with GoogleTranslator.. I hope everything is readable!)
------------------------------------------
Un peu d'actualité:
J'essaie pour le moment de trouver le meilleur compromis TF2D, et c'est l'appli sur laquelle je me penche le plus, pour le moment. En effet, elle est la "base" de la skin du Kaiser, donc, c'est aussi là-dessus que tout se joue, pour le choix d'une ROM.. Utiliser un Kaiser tout moche, et être obligé d'installer 10Mo de skin à chaque hardreset, c'est 'con'..
J'ai donc, en outre:
- ajouté plusieurs raccourcis dans l'onglet internet (WVD, Messenger, Facebook, Google, mon blog, RSSHub)
- traduit intégralement de manière artisanale, tous les menus de TF2D, de manière à ce que TOUT texte soit visible..
- créé une skin, sur base d'un fond d'écran adapté WVGA
Et je recherche activement le moyen de procurer, dès la première installation, le fonctionnement optimal des applets météo!
Mon but est également que le TF2D reste le plus lisible possible, c'est pourquoi j'ai décidé d'abandonner la skin de ma version X1..

The only problem I have with skins is that joe hates tom's prefered skin.
The good news with Microsoft default skin is that there is a consensus: every one hates it. I vote for a consensus )
Otherwise I deeply respect your time, your choices and your work.

i really truly like this ROM, it looks beautiful not too many colors like some over enthusiastic people get will give this a shot thanks for your hard work

[REQ] AUDIO SPECTRE for TECHNICIAN

Google translate : Hello!
I has long sought an application for my Android, analyzing with the microphone, the frequency of 20 Hz to 20 kHz in real time.
I found "audalyzer" but I feel it shows the harmonics in calculating ... So it displays the fundamental and its harmonics ...
Moreover, the audio spectrum is displayed on a small portion of the screen ... (Which is not terrible to read frequencies ...)
Anyone know of a better application?
Or someone may develop one?
Bonjour!
Je cherche depuis longtemps une application, pour mon Android, qui analyserait avec le microphone, les fréquences de 20hz à 20khz en temps réel.
j'ai trouvé "audalyzer" , mais j'ai l'impression qu'il affiche les harmoniques en les calculant... Donc il affiche la fondamentale, et ses harmoniques...
De plus, le spectre audio est affiché que sur une petite partie de l'écran... (ce qui n'est pas terrible pour lire les fréquences...)
Quelqu'un connais une meilleurs application?
Ou quelqu'un peut en développer une?

I'm sorry but : UP !

Have you tried emailing the Audalyzer dev to see if he has any interest in adding the feature(s) you're looking for?

[Q] French Student looking for help about thesis (research paper)

Hi all,
I am french student in last year of management information systems.
I am registered on the forum at the end to find some help for my research paper (thesis).
I do not know where put my request on the forum, so if this is not the right place, thank you to let me know so I can move my post.
The theme of my research paper is:

And the perimeter of the subject is:
- The Smartphone games are experiencing a meteoric rise. What are the technological barriers that prevent them from replacing game consoles? will it happen one day? (Cloud Computing, 4G, PSVita interfaces, ...).

So I have to do a minimum of 2 expert interviews, preferably one smartphone and one console.
I also trying to do a survey, to get the point of view of people.
My questions are:
1. Is there an expert on the forum or in your community with who could have contact?
2. What questions should I ask to him?
3. What questions should I ask to people for the survey?

Salut à tous,
Je suis étudiant en dernière année de management des systèmes d'information et je me suis inscrits sur le forum à fin de trouver un peu d'aide pour mon mémoire de recherche.
Je ne sais pas où faire ma demande sur le forum, donc si ce n'est pas le bon endroit, merci de me le signaler, que je puisse déplacer mon post.
Mon mémoire de recherche à pour thème :
- Jeux sur Smartphones V.S. Jeux sur consoles
Le sujet du mémoire est :
- Technologies nécessaires pour que les Smartphones remplacent les consoles de jeu.
Et le périmètre du sujet est :
- Les jeux sur Smartphone connaissent une ascension fulgurante. Quelles sont les barrières technologiques qui les empêchent de remplacer les consoles de jeux? Y arrivera-t-on un jour ?
(Cloud Computing, 4G, interfaces PSVita, ...).
J'ai donc à faire minimum 2 interviews d'expert, de préférence 1 smartphone et 1 console.
Je cherche également à faire un sondage, histoire de toucher le grand public.
Mes questions sont les suivantes:
1. Y aurait-il un expert sur le forum ou dans votre entourage avec qui je pourrais prendre contact?
2. Quelles questions devrais-je lui posé?
3. Quelles questions devrais-je posé au gens pour le sondage?
Merci de vos réponses.

No one have any idea ?

I worked on this and I thought of few questions for the interview and survey
For the Survey, this is the GoogleDoc link: Smartphones Games vs Consoles Games
For the interview:
What are the current technological innovations for different support? (Home consoles, portable consoles, smartphones)
What are the similarities and differences of these technological innovations? (ARG, Transmedia, Crossmedia, Cloud Gaming)
Players on smartphones expect big performances?
Do these media "attack" the same market?
Having a smartphone with games on oneself does not discourage people to take their portable consoles?
If there is rivalry, who will win between portable consoles and smartphones?
The portable consoles and smartphones today have almost similar specifications (small screen, reduced autonomy, not user-friendly interfaces). Should we expect a "merger" between the two media? ("SmartPSP", "smartDS")
We see this trend with the Wii U, the controller features integrated smartphones functionalities. Do you think this is going carton?
What are the future technological innovations expected by the players?
