Right.. I know this i early to think about it but.... I've noticed the Atrix uses the same connector as our visions have (In roughly the same place too) to connect to the laptop dock, this got me thinking... Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to use the dock with our Visions Although that is of course if the phone fits and we are able to extract what ever software the atrix will use for it or a rom port
Just an idea
I was told at CES by the guy at the Moto booth that it wouldn't work (he also refused to answer my question on overclockability XD). Assuming that that was just a marketing thing so people would buy it, (if the phone can handle it) we should theoretically be able to port over the ROM, but then again we dont have 1gb of ram
Thanks
But yeah.. that is a good point... Although I hope it doesn't require all that Ram... And I'm sure clocked at 1.8Ghz our phones could handle the cpu demand Albiet with a crappy battey

Actually, when I was comparing the quandrant scores of the Atrix and the G2 @ 1.8 GHz, the G2 beat the Atrix by 400 points =p

Damn.. That's a fast phone... And at stock speed
Ah well...
I love the idea of the laptop dock with the Atrix. What I wasn't loving so much is the pricing... I read somewhere that the phone from AT&T (with contract) is $200. You can get the phone and dock for $500... And in order to get the discount on the dock, they are going to require customers to purchase a Tethering data add-on as well.
That's more than what I paid for my Desire Z OFF contract!
cables
if we could port the software, im sure a female-female micro USB cable would allow the phone to be connected to the dock... just an idea

Dual core processors will do that for you.

This is not correct. The USB ports may be in a similar place but the Atrix has a docking port (not on DZ) specifically for docking to its other devices.

Dont really see your logic here
Atrix utilizes a dual core chip by nvidia
CPU Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset
The guy saw that a G2 overclock to 1.8 beat the Atrix which is a DUAL Core phone ( hand over fist, thats 2 GHZ vs 1.8 GHZ or 1 ghz X2 Vs 1.8) by 400 points ............. Dual core processors SHOULD NOT BE doing this for us
doesnt make sense we need to overclock a DUAL core cpu to beat a SINGLE overclocked cpu............
You're totally missing the point of dual core phones.
how am I not seeing the point of dual core phones?
doesnt matter how many cores a chip has if it cannot perform better than a single core chip
I think if some one would get USB OTG working on the g2 we could get a MIMO monitor and that would be just as good or better than the dock . If we get the rom ported or if some one would work on OTG and drivers for this .

It isn't as though both cores are running at the same time on the same exact process. If that were the case then you'd be right. I'd love to see a dual core OC, since again, both cores aren't being used for the one process, and see those results again.
I believe you need special USB hardware to provide USB host functionality.. and I don't know if the Desire Z / G2 has this?
If that doesn't ring a bell, what I mean is that USB on a portable device like this is pretty limited. Basically you can charge it and use it as mass storage/slave device to a computer.
But a USB Host port allows the phone to be the master and other plugged in hardware to be a slave. Most phones don't have this afaik
Just came across this news that a laptop named Doel running Android has been produced in Bangladesh...and its running Android.
Here are the specs:
Doel 2102
10.0″ LCD Panel
(1024*600)
VIA 8650 800MHz
512 MB RAM
Integrated 0.3 MP
Webcam
WiFi 802.11b/g
2 USB 2.0
SD Slot for Max 32 GB
Google Android
Integrated
Price- $130
News Source: http://techspyre.com/doel-a-laptop-for-130-made-in-bangladesh/
Interesting, that price is about one month salary for the average worker. Compare that to here (USA) a computer is 3-4 days of an average workers salary. I great start to helping the 8th largest population to become digital
there are lots of those similar ones on deal extreme
all of those android "laptops" are more a Netbook than an actual laptop.
I hope they open it for the international market...may be at a higher price so that the government can further subsidize the local price and make it more affordable

But see it is something huge for a country like Bangladesh...
If it's any good and doesn't have any mjaor problems, i would buy one.
here's a semi decent one like the one OP mentioned
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/7-resi...c-with-wifi-tf-hdmi-white-arm-cortex-a9-67193
again only 512 RAM, froyo, ARM 9, 4GB internal, 7" screen, sd card slot, 3.5mm Audio,2 x USB 2.0, 1 x HDMI, Earphone, power adapter included
another one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/8-touc...d-2-2-tablet-pc-w-wifi-tf-arm-v9-800mhz-70508
8" instead
Getting one of these is something that I need to look into
i've been keeping my eyes on many of those
waiting for a dual core model to pop up
Screw it and get a decent tablet and a blue tooth keypad, I love my gtab and with all the development going on I can have anew device in a few mins .
IM looking for a cheap but rather reliable pad for a 10yo and occasionally a 4-5yo
I would buy one, thats a heck of a deal for the average user.
Resistive screens are terrible unfortunately otherwise it's pretty decent.

I think that is a good price for something like that. but what is the HD space? and you cant do much of anything major with 512MB ram but its probably a descent piece of harware
Again I'd like to stress that there are scores of such tabs already available, but it is something big and commendable for a developing nation like Bangladesh.
I'm currently thinking about buying a tablet, but I'm not certainly sure if should get one, and, if yes, which.
I'm planning to use it mainly for watching movies, surfing the net, playing some games and probably doing some office stuff on it (like e-mails, but also text documents etc.). Entertainment stuff is the main focus, the last one could be neglected...
The maximum I'd be willing to spend would be something around 400 Euros (by looking at the amazon.com store, it's like more or less exactly the same in dollars, without conversion... ) but less would be definitly better (off course, if a few bucks more make a huge difference, it would be also okay).
Concerning features, I would like:
The screen size should be 8" to 10", the bigger, the better
A USB port (which supports working as host) would be nice to have
The screen should be pretty responsive, and also with a rather high resolution
A front camera would be nice (doesn't have to have the best quality)
It should have a good CPU and GPU, so games and stuff run smooth
At least Android 3.1, an announced update to ICS would be much appreciated
some kind of SD card slot (or an other way to extend storage, an USB port counts )
As the CES 2012 is about to happen, and probably some new tablets are going to be announced, I am also open to tablets that are going to be released in January or February this year, as long as they are in my price limit.
Oh, and by the way, regarding this, are there already tablets on the way, which are wort waiting for?
I'd be very glad if you made it till here and also would leave a comment below
Best regards and I apologize for my bad english

P.S.: Before I forget, one last question: Is it possible to put a 2,5" Hard Drive (powered over USB) to an Android tablet?
P.P.S.: Oh, and if it helps in any way, I own a HTC Desire.
nobody? :/
Acer Iconia A500 or A501
A little more expensive Motorola Xoom or Iconia A500.
Acer Iconia A500
wifi only or with 3g?
Just wifi is enough, if I really need 3G I can enable tethering...
The Acer one is certainly not bad, but I kind of don't like the design, but thanks.
I will have a closer look at the Xoom now...

I suggest to go into a shop and hold both in your hands.
First i liked the xoom alot better, but the iconia just feels so much better when holding it. The sound quality of the iconia's speakers is really astonishing.
The iconia has a normal sized usb port, the xoom doesn't.

looks rather good, but are the 16 gigs enough for a bunch of games? The 32GB one is much too expensive, I think
there is Asus Transformer Prime, but it's 500 euros the 32 gig version.
I think 16gb is enough, plus you can just add an sd card if it isn't.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Transformer Prime would be great for you.
10-inch display with 1280x800 resolution, Super-IPS
It has optional keyboard dock that has USB-port, so you can connect your hard drive, it'll recognize it as disk drive and you'll be able to view the hadr drive as a filesystem.
Front-facing camera is 1.2 MP.
Tegra 3 is the best for gaming and has a great GPU right now. CPU is great too.
Android 3.2 Honeycomb is coming with the tablet. There's an update to ICS coming (14-15 Jan)
SD-card slot + USB-port on the keyboard dock.
But costs 'a bit more' than you wish. About 585 Euros ^_^
So, I think that Acer Iconia Tab A500/501 is the best choice for you
Or you can watch at the original Transformer which costs about 350 Euros (16 GB)
Original vs Prime:
Screen (IPS vs S-IPS);
processor (Tegra 2 vs Tegra 3);
camera (5 MP vs 8 MP).
But you still have the USB-port on the dock, as well as the microSD card-slot.

Sure, but as I read, you can't install apps and stuff on the SD card, it's threatened as an external hard drive (on the tablet s)

The Prime looks pretty good but also pretty (and probably too) expensive...the original Transformer looks also pretty decent, but as you need the dock for connecting an usb device, it's also like 499€, sadly
*quick edit* Feature wise the Xoom looks not bad, too. ~410€ for 32Gigs + 3G looks pretty good to me...gotta find some reviews
Yeah, I've written about the price of the Prime.
Xoom is too laggy... Maybe you should wait for Xyboard?
Even with the new update?
The xyboard hasn't a tegra 3, is it worth it though?

Hey guys, today i was watching some youtube videos and i found this awesome masterpiece !
Its called MiGen Game console. Best thing about it it can run android as well as ubuntu!
Here is the link to the video
Here are specifications about the current console.
• Samsung Exynos 4412 2.0Ghz Quad Core Cpu
• Mali 400MP 800Mhz Quad core
• 2GB Ram clocked at 880Mhz
• 16GB eMMC
• SD card slot and External HD support
• It has 6 USB ports (overkill ?), Ethernet, WiFi b/g/n, Audio in/out, Bluetooth
Specifications are badass but price if kinda high, Almost 300$ for Console, Bluetooth Headset, Ac adaptor,HDMI Cable,Controller.
What you guys think ?
Why play games on android with android apps from play store if you can play on an Xbox as well for less money and better game quality?

I would have to agree with ikoolkid but if u really want to know then:
1. Make sure your motherboard supports the processor you're trying to install (socket type, bus frequency and size),
2. Since you're trying to implement ddr3 ram, make sure the motherboard supports it, otherwise, don't waste your money buying ddr3 ram modules.
3. For graphics card, make sure your motherboard supports it.
4. make sure your power supply has the capacity of giving power to all components, add the power requirements of all devices and that should be a guide of how big u want that power supply.
5. read the specs for the motherboard and you'll find out if all those parts are compatible.

Just at a glance, I'd examine the case and PSU.
You want a case with good ventilation, and for that price, I doubt that's a great case - but pictures would help. You want one with cable management space too.
And your PSU will likely not support a decent GPU.
Not to be a jerk - but I built my first computer recently and unless this post is weird spam, I recommend you do research until you understand what you're doing.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've done some research on the compability of CPU, MB and RAM and they seems to be compatible, it has (by the asrock site specs)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (PCIE1 @ x16 mode)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot
- 1 x PCI slot
for a new graphic card, but in my opinion, looking at the card, put a nice 2 slot graphic card would be a problem because of the space.
For the HD its ok, the MB has 6 SATA ports so fully compatible. As Pennycake said, the PSU should be more powerfull if u need a decent graphic card, otherwise for the combination u wrote it would be perfect.
Like others have pointed out this is not the place for this post we are a mobile device developers forum not a computer help website, please use the off topic area
It is compatible
Although of the off topic area might be better suited to this, I'll answer it anyway. So the main components that you need to worry about, the CPU and the motherboard, are both compatible. Be careful though, I have AMD processors can be quite easy to burn out if the processor isn't inserted correctly. Everything else should be fine. Don't be too concerned about heat with that case, you are powering a dedicated graphics card and by the time you do I don't think you will be aiming for a demanding high end one anyway. Cheap power supplies can be issue, so you be wary of any sudden shut downs, as it could be that in the future. Other than that good luck with your first PC build. Every one after this will be a breeze.
Oh before I forget, make sure that you have Sata cables for the hard drive, they usually come with the motherboard, but that isn't always the case.

Cheaper what? I am not sure they could go much cheaper.
Yea make sure the motherboard socket size matches the cup, everything else is pretty cross compatible. You don't want to order the wrong cpu and be like aw grits I ordered the wrong part and wait another week.
The cpu and the motherboards socket definitely marry up, so that isn't an issue. Like I said though, be very careful with installing AMD cpus.
