Hi there everyone!
I went to TOKYO not so long ago (end of July). And GUESS what I saw??? :shock:
These marketers introduced me to a new Pocket PC.
They call it the FUTARON V27 :shock:
It's basicly a 812MHz Pocket PC, with a 3 Megapixel CCD video/photo cam. Its got a powerful graphics controller, similar to the one's in the PSP (Playstation Portable) and a strong 3G+GPRS built-in antenna. When they demonstated it to me, they wouldn't let me touch it
They put WM5 on one, and on another they put their own program which lacks similarities to the MW5 but it is, how do you say, more simplied and windows xp looking.
They run, the liberty city stories using a PSP emulator, which also runs other games like Mario and Pokemon. When I asked them about JAVA, they laughed , but yeah it does have it's own JAVA system.
He loaded the game from the pocket pc, itself so it was large file size. He told me it had a total of 5 Gb storage!!! :shock:
It's even got its own TV out, like the samsung d600 phone. They plugged it on a projector and showed me Pocket Powerpoint and also played the game via the projection. 8)
I should mention, though it was a bit bigger than my XDAII, the size was basicly the result of the fingerprint reader and all the other commercially available space consuming specialties. Basicly had more specifics than you can point with sticks!! But it was without a doubt, thinner, less rigid and smaller than the PSP.
There was special accessories made for it, like 3 different types of car holders for different holding ways. Optional: loudspeaker, charger, GPS holders. A weird case, but it is very protective, which you can tell by teh fact how the guy dropped and slammed it unto the ground a couple times which nothing happend. An expensive looking stylish cover. A durable plastic cover which you can go diving (i think) since its waterproof and you can press the buttons from the cover's buttons (what about taping the screen??) I guess that was designed for diving photography. A mini device wich you plug into the serial and the tv out and it shows a small (about 20" inch) projective for portable in-class presentations.A work station where its hooked up to speakers, where it can be charged and charge a battery, otherwise the spare battery (u connect) to the station is used, also has the projector, a note holder and couple of buttons which u can configure, i saw him use it like an office telephone with the hold button and all. And many other things which u connect like a powerful LED torch, forgot to mention the camera has it own LED torch and ca be used separately.
The whole pocket poket pc was very artistically designed, very comfortable, light and stylish. You could hold it in a digital camera type way, the PSP game kind of way, the stylus tapping sort of way and ofcourse the mobile type where you hold it on your ear.
When I asked them for a trade for my XDA II, the man nearly died of laughter. No racial offence, but I think these Japanese cannot hold their laughter. :roll: I asked for the price, he said it wasn't for sale. That they were merely introducing their devices to the tourists and hoping to get feedback and possibly order. Since I dont trust anyone with my money :wink: I didnt order anything, they basicly get your ID and credit card and contact you when they will release it.
This phone was not a phone, a pocket pc, a digital camera, a gameboy but it was something else. These nerds gathered their brains :?: and the wanted things/ideas :idea: from the public and made it real.
He said there is a slim chance these devices may come out until the end of 2007-mid 2008. I guess their holding off their stuff to profit more from previous products.?..
I've not pictures of this, it was a, as the sign read, "NO CAM TAKING" with guards about. :x
Anyways, I guess these people just rolled our dreams into one good fantasy which we can't have or touch and probably photograph until 3 or so more years.
I am thinking about buying a machine that packages (with an opening mini-parachute) a stored content when it fires. And it does fire, yes it does, so i can be like to the guy:
Why dont you try my SD card? Yoink grab the device
chuck it in the launcher. shoot the device into the air.
The parachute opens, it lands safely out of the secure zone.
My friend grabs it and disappears from TOKYO. And while the guards watch the device open its parachute, I run another direction and also escape. Next week, I'm home using my new whatever device. Lets face the facts, the name of the device is very bad. :?
That's it for my explaining.
812 MHz? How much battery life would that device have?
plenty of battery life, it has a nuclear reactor in the back instead of those outdated Lithion Ion batteries were stuck with....
Thats quite impressive but not surprising for Japan the micro technology capital of the world, I think theres some big innovations in pocket technology on the way from pocket pc phones to UMPCs.
By 2007-2008 only imagination knows what could be coming out by then.
No its not a PPC. Its is a UMPC And they have already been release in America.
I've sold one at my warehouse for $880.
The other system running is Windows XP Media Center Portable Edition.
Samsung and Asus have released them in America
Are you sure you didnt see this thing?
30gig, 1.2gig intel,4.5inch screen, XP, wifi, Plus many more. There are some models that come EDGE/GPRS.
Its only a little bigger then the XDA Exec.
and Im loving it!
Uh, "a little bigger" is the whole issue. Don't get me wrong, I love gadgets but lets face it: a device this size really takes the "pocket" out of "Pocket PC".
Sure, it's a great replacement for a laptop, but not for PPC (specially phone edition devices).
Well, I got my iPAQ a couple weeks ago, and I just came across a great addition. I don't need the functionality or hastle of dragging around a laptop, but when I travel, hence the pda. However, when I travel, there are times, of course, that I need to print. I found this:

Anyone used anything like this before?
$600 to print something 2" wide seems rather steep. Check out instead the hp470 range which would allow you to print either by taking out the sd card and sticking it in the printer, or wirelessly using jetcet.
Very nice solutions, but not very portable. It gets back to carrying a laptop around. I love that I can have my PDA in my pocket and use it anytime I need.
Found another great accessory. Check out http://www.pressdigital.com.au/gifts-ideas-clearance/nexian-nexicam-ipaq-pocket-clearance-p-6147.html. Excellent camera.
I have the Canon ip90. It print great, regular paper too, and has a bluetooth adapter available, as well as a battery power option for on-the-go printing

I want to eventually build one with the usb cord built in and make it a vertical dock.

I've got a printer on order already actually
I also contacted samsung to see if we could get a 3d model of the phone but here is what I got:
Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you are requesting for the 3D form factor specification of the Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G from T-Mobile.
Samsung can only provide information that is readily available on our websites. We can also provide troubleshooting information for this phone. Your inquiry about the phone's 3D form factor specification is considered proprietary and confidential. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may present.
So pretty much we are on our own. Lucky for us the phone is easy to model. I plan on finally making a dock for this phone now. I actually have a few plans for mounts and such for this phone. Only crappy part is I still have about 7 weeks of waiting
Update!
Well I got my printer but of course it has a faulty hot end.... I ship it back tomorrow to get replaced but I should be up in another two weeks or so. Here is one of my stands Thingiverse link that actually holds the usb cord in place. I'm planning on a few different ones, just been low on time lately with the new job and cleaning out the garage

So i finally got my charging doc from amazon today. Amazing little thing Charges the whole families handsets at once and i don't have every USB port on my laptop plugged in haha. Wish i would have bought this before Thing is sleek looking and takes about the same amount of space on a desk as my phone alone. The thing is nice and light but to me seems very solid already dropped it once off the desk to a hard marble floor and it still works flawlessly. Not even a crack I would strongly recommend this to anyone who uses multiple phones on a daily bases. Tho i would have liked this accessory in white the glossy black is very appealing to the eyes. What really got me hooked was the smart id the thing recognizes each of our phones separately so i can go into which ever phone i like to view my albums without having to play musical chairs with my USB ports !!!
So for anyone looking for a smartid multiple charging port doc This is it you will find no better...
I LOVE IT

As always with Choetech products this phone/tablet stand came in a very well presented box with precise easy to follow instructions. Putting the stand together is just a matter of sliding the base and the device support together, adjusting the number of notches on the base changes the angle that the device sits at.
My nexus 6p sits well in the stand both horizontally and vertically. I have always been worried using stands that my device may fall and get damaged, however with this stand the lip at the front and the height of the back support I feel that my device is very secure and safe. I can see this stand getting used a lot at night on my bed side table to watch movies.
I tried this stand with my 7" nexus 6 and my 10" Asus tablet and both felt secure in this stand pictures can be seen below, for anyone with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse this could be very useful, with them this stand turns my tablets into what feels like a desktop browsing experience.
Another use for this stand i found good was when combined with my xbox 360 desktop adapter and a otg adapter I can play games like shadowgun without worrying about dropping my tablet or having to balance it somewhere.
I think this phone/tablet stand is excellent value for money, and the quality is amazing. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a stand you can trust.
Hope this review helps someone.
