Kinetic on Windows 7 - Off-topic

I know this is kind of an old topic but this is awesome, the iron man and matrix movies are coming to real life!

Anyone know when this will be released to the public? If it even gets released.

I´m sure we will see something like that soon!

Only in the lazy world.....
Its pretty cool, though. They probably might start building games for the computer also that involve Kinect.

It's all nice to watch, but it would be completely exhausting for your arms and hands.
I bought a P5 glove way back in the day, thinking it was so cool to have the future in my hand, literally. It made my arm hurt after 5 minutes and it was definitely not worth it.
Everyone loves to see Minority Report and hope for a chance at that interaction, but what you don't know until you try it is how awful the experience really is.

Agreed, it's never going to be practical.

well, it's not like kinetic is better than touch screen.. unless they also develop the hologram screen to touch..
low accuracy, less responsive, and on top of that, it's not even easier to do.. it just looks cooler.. and only counts when someone see you doing that.. otherwise, that's non sense..

IPhone look-a-likes

I am so sick of everybody making Iphone icons and themes and all this bull**** for their kaisers. If you want a ****ing Iphone, go buy one. Otherwise, don't deface your iphone-superior Windows mobile phone with all this gay super-mario-looking jellybean rainbow macintosh ****. Iphones suck balls. Macintosh sucks balls. It's like buying a Ford F-650 and trying to make it look like a volkswagen jetta. Be proud of your windows mobile device people. Instead of infesting your phone, and our forums with all this glittery, trendy, crap, just go buy a ****** phone and go hang out at some other forum. ****, go hang out at starbucks, I'm sure there's about 100 douchebags crammed in there right now who'd love to go make gay buttlove with you. Damn, that felt good. I could go off on this all night. I'm gonna try to get some anti-mac stickers printed out to put on the back of my kaiser. If anyone else wants to rock one hit me up. If enough people are interested I'll get a bunch printed. Here's what I was thinkin:
Horray for super-mario-looking jellybean rainbow macintosh ****!!!
EDIT: But to add something useful...
The iPhone UI is very unique, combined with the ease and 'hackability' of Windows Mobile 6 IT SHALL MAKE THE GREATEST PHONE EVER!!!!
Catch my drift?
Plus, no-one is forcing you to use it, simply give the noob a link and PM a mod to delete the topic.
No need for a rant.
You do have a short temper do you?
EDIT II: For got to add the clincher!
Your avatar suits you
That is great and i feel the same way. Minues all of the gay love and harsh words but exactly what i was thinking in a way. I do like my tilt the way it is but i dont mind making it custom to my likings. The stickers though are a greaat idea. I think they could become a hot item.
I can't tell you how many people have seen my Tilt and said
"Is that an iPhone?"
No, it's a Windows Pocket Pc.
"Huh?"
Apple did a great job advertising and promoting their product. I rarely see ads for high-end pocket pc phones. It's annoying how iPhone users act smug thinkin their device is "sooo superior" and "sooo chic". Blow me

for sure. they just think its like a sidekick and are all over it. but then get all confused when they are able to touch the screen and cant manage their way around it w/o a scrolly ball and 4 buttons to get around the whole phone
Capacitive touch (like the iphone) uses the bodys natural capacitance (ability to store electricity) to detect when a finger is placed on the screen and where, determined by capacitive touch sensors.
Resistive touch is based on a series of many MANY resistors under the screen, in a matrix form (not Neo...) and when you touch the screen, a resistor goes low (no resistance) which tells the TS (touch screen) controller to tell the processor (Qual7200) that a finger has been placed at x,y with 0,0 being the upper lefthand portion of the screen.
o and its resistive, I cant spell

Multi-touch isnt a patent, its a STDIO (standard input-output device)

I feel pretty much the same way...I think the I in IPhone stands for idiot....Yeah an Idiot phone. Anyway, but the IPhone UI is pretty slick and Microsoft has not been innovative with the today screen for 7 or so years. Point UI does a good job of not looking like an iphone and making it feel more like where MS should have had it by at least WM6. No love for the idiot phone here. Symbian before Iphone anyday.

iphone 4 stinks

Hello guys and girls,
I recently went from an htc desire to iphone 4, it was like going back in technology. sure, the screen is awesome and the design is good, but at the end of the day it's like an ipod itouch It's boring, now desire was fun to play with. I never got bored of it. So, if anyone thinking about going from desire to iphone 4 it's not worth it.
Well, Apple sucks, that's a given; but please give a list of the things you don't like about it.
It's nice to have some more fodder for later arguments about WHY Apple sucks...
There are many reasons that i dislike about the iPhone, these are that come to mind. First, the check board in safari is really annoying, like on android i never got any checker boards, while scrolling up faster even when the page was loading. Next, is the row of icons is just plain and too simple... Another is having no adobe flash and no click toggle. I read Manga and the manga readers in app store suck...
I do like the built quality, I hope more android devices are built without getting a plastic feeling.
No matter if it´s 2, 3, 3gs or 4 all are the same sh....t
It's good to hear that you value Flash. So many iPhags want to say that they don't need it...

Well, it's not great build quality with all the broken glass iPhones all over. Have you touched the G2 yet? It's incredible. My TP2 was a great build, but the G2 is a thing of beauty. Only more greatness to come from HTC.
People have made weight such a big deal over the years. Like your phone is going to anchor you when you dive into water. Why is weight such a big deal? What difference does it really make? I would love to have a hardcore metal design rather than cheap light plastic.

Well considering it's an ARM processor, would be interesting if someone tried porting Android to the NGP/PSP2.
In general, it looks great, I highly doubt many games will use the new features well though. I'm looking forward to having a touchscreen keyboard with online games, hopefully they do a good job with it.
I don't think that's gonna be possible. Sony is mightily afraid of the homebrew scene...
And I hope it doesn't go touchscreen either. Just stick to the traditional button controls, please

Just because they don't want it doesn't mean it's impossible Exploits will be found eventually.
And a bit late for that, have you seen the NGP yet? It's already got both a touchscreen and a touchpad on the back, the new main interface is based on it(hideous, but it's based on it )

After seeing Sony abandon the PSP (in terms of games, at least) after it was jailbroken, you'll have to excuse me if I'm reluctant to adopt the PSP2... but well...
And I stand corrected, there is a touchscreen on it, but my earlier comment was more pointed towards redundancy in gaming devices. There are already three significant portable gaming devices with touchscreen (iOS, NDS and Android), and I'm not sure the market is open enough for another (as opposed to a niched 3D-heavy porta-console).
I just hope that the platform has more games, rather than the sucky barrage of J-games...
In terms of jailbreaking... well... it took 4 full years for it to happen. You gonna wait?
Will totally depends on price and popularity!
it will be outdated enuff to not be worth to get a separate console for gaming by the time it comes out ... basically , its already dead before birth , sony should know better what huge changes go down in one year in the exponentially growing phone market

This game is coming along great.
I'd say once you have a good number of levels built and the graphics tightened up, you're fully entitled to charge for your hard work! Or perhaps always have a free basic version, but have to pay for advanced features like the level editor?
Great fun anyway, thanks
Want to compliment you on an excellent game. It's coming along nicely. The latest updates greatly improve the gameplay. Would like to see the implementation of tapping the screen anywhere to activate the chicken's special features. Tapping directly on the chicken can be a pain.
That's by far the best WP7
Game out there. Thank you.

I'm not sure how I'm going to make money from this, I'm really glad I released the beta but I don't want to charge people after playing it. What I might end up doing is releasing a big massive level pack of something and charging for that, but hopefully there will be at least 60 high quality 100% free levels for everyone to play as that's what I'm aiming for by version 1.0 which will be free I think what I'll end up doing is turning the original game into a trial with the 60 levels as well as simultaneously releasing a 'light' version containing the 60 levels, that way hopefully people won't think 'trial' means limited, I think 60 levels is plenty of fun for everyone especially for $0. Actually I'm still not too sure, 60 levels might be too much or too little for a trial, I don't want to put people off playing the game because the trial is too short but I don't want to make the trial so long and epic that people never get around to finishing it (therefore have no motivation to buy the full version).
At any rate the full version will hopefully be going for $0.99, if I can't beat Angry Birds in sheer content I can at least beat them on value for money.

I'm glad you like the latest update, I'm aiming to make future updates even better, specifically I'm looking into tweaking the way objects break and making it so that you can fire the cannon like it were a slingshot, as well as adding a tracer so you can see the rough path your chicken will take when you fire. If you have any suggestions do please throw them my way
Oh and you don't have to tap on the chicken to use its power, what makes you think you have to?

Sorry, maybe I just wasn't doing it right. It seemed I tapped several time elsewhere on the screen and nothing happened but when I specifically tapped the chicken, it did its special feature. But I do love this game. It has so much potential and I believe...just my opinion, now...that once you have it perfected, MS might try to buy it or partner with you. [thinking of Halo] There's no doubt MS wants an Angry Birds type blockbuster game. Yours has that potential.
From what you've done, you are an extremely talented dev and I wish the best for you.

I don't really think so. People would have to pay for angry birds, wouldn't they? But even if not, I think both games can coexist without any problem. I mean, I loved Angry Birds on Android. But you know what's better than one high quality games of a certain type? Two high quality games of that certain type. And yours is definitely high quality. No doubt about that, mate. Excellent job.

I hope you're right, I'm going to be pricing this at the $1 mark and pushing more free content so hopefully that will make up for the fact it's not angry birds
A lot of people giving the game reviews want more levels, so I've released 0.6 now, it doesn't have eerything I wanted to put into it but..
In addition to five more levels the cannon now behaves like a slingshot (i.e. pull back to fire), if you move your finger to the right side of the cannon you dis-engage it.
If you're pinching or dragging the camera around there is no chance of activating the cannon.
The camera will go back to its last position/zoom setting after a chicken has finished being fired (and stopped moving). This only works with ch
ickens when their special power is not activated.
Level loading speeds have been dramatically increased, after an initial ~7 second wait for the first level to load the rest will load very quickly (almost instantly) until the app closes The reason for this is that content is now shared between all levels.
And here's a teaser screenshot of one of the new levels: http://imgur.com/fNYH3
I think there are about five new levels in the update, I'm sorry I couldn't make it more, I have a day job and it's 2am (I get up at 6 XD).
I will be working on more levels so by the time this gets approved I'll hopefully have v0.7 ready for submission
Release date is whenever Microsoft approves the update (hopefully sometime later this week).
So I've hopefully addressed the annoyances with the clumsiness of the cannon and now levels load much faster (after the first load anyway) so that should be good. On my Omnia 7 there are no load times, it's circle in/circle out.

Yeah it's probably because it shutdown half way through, not too sure what you can do about that htough. Maybe try asking in a WP7 specific help forum?

If you are going to keep it free indefinitely then perhaps you should open source it so that other devs and join in and improve the game?
If you alone could make something that's so close to Angry Birds, imagine what a group of devs could do. It just needs a bit more polish, but it's oh so close.

HDC Galaxy Note N7000/i9220 Android Dualsim Phone

After some messing about on-line I was intrigued to find this video review of something that "looked" similar to the Galaxy note.
Obviously its not the real thing as you and I are well aware but it prompted me to do some more researching.
After a few nights of checking out the different versions of the "clone" I decided to bite the bullet and buy one to play about with.
Now I don't know much about Android phones and was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to exactly what this phone is capable of in terms of using the android marketplace and installing generic android apps.
I am a little unsure of some of the screens. It shows that it has Android Version 4.0.3 - Does that mean it has ICS already installed?
The other thing I was wondering is whether or not there are any custom roms that will do away with some of the China/Far East apps/languages that this thing will be able to run?
I have attached some pics and also the pics that I was sent in .rar files from the supplier..
**I understand that this is not the real deal so anyone who feels like having a nice flaming session then rant away. My questions are genuine in the hope to learn something..
Cheers
It's probably the cheapest hardware around in that. Don't expect any smoothness and it's on the completely opposite end of the phone spectrum from the Note. Doubt there are any custom ROM for it as well, but it probably runs many apps from Play.
I don't know why you would waste money on it, unless you try to look cool by pretending you have a genuine Note. It's a bit like walking around with a fake Rolex.
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Yea for sure I know what you're saying. I know someone with a fake rolex. He has had it for many many years. It still even tells the right time
I in no way purchased it to "pretend" to have the real deal. I have an iphone already and this was more something to play around with.
I like the "open source" side to it and with my Linux background and Programming and coding firmware for Satellite TV Receivers It took my fancy as its not locked down as badly as an I-Phone.
I guess from reading a bit more I would have do dump the firmware that is already on the phone and decompile it and figure out how to edit it to my own needs and then re-flash.
Hell, for £130 if it keeps me amused and out of mischief for a few months then its money well spent.
I would rather learn on something that costs a LOAD less. Once I am familiar with the whole system structure, Tools, Terms, Apps, etc etc I will probably buy the real deal.
Take Care..
I was thinking of buying one. Are they good? Where did you buy yours? The white one looks nice.

hi mate, when it arrives I will let you know!
still beats the dell streak lol
not bad for a fake phone imo, anyone who wants a big screen on a budget could use it.
Hey I woudn't mind using this over my (screen-plagued issues) Gnote..
This phone easily beats the features of the real mccoy.
I wonder how would Sammy feel that a run of the mill cheapo phone like this has their branded logo emblazoned on it?
Watching the video mesmerized me on the myriad capabilities this knockoff can offer.
Also great music, it 'tranced' me while watching the phone's features...
Cheers!
Does it run real ICS ?
There are fake Chinese 'iFones' in the market which certainly don't have IOS.
He says in the video it runs Gingerbread which would also explain the GB in the build number.
For 130 pounds I guess it's a pretty decent phone. It has a pretty slow single core CPU and a relatively low resolution for such a big screen but in the end you get what you pay for. I'm sure it's a nice toy to play around with and for a first Android experience you could do a lot worse but since I first used my Note I'll never settle for anything less anymore
Because these types of phones are never meant for international sales I doubt there will be any viable custom roms anytime soon and I think you can forget about official updates but even stock Gingerbread is a very decent OS. You'll miss out on a big part of the 'openness' of Android though.
Once you decide to get the real deal you'll be amazed at what the real Note is actually capable of.
I guess it has 800x480 res which gives you pixels like golf balls with a 5.3" screen. That's so extremely far from the Note hi res experience...

In the movie the guy says "it's got a 5.3 inch 5-point multi-touch screen".
That's another difference from the real Note, only being able to detect a maximum of 5 touch points. The Note detects at least 10. Nothing to be concerned about I think, I've never used more than 3 fingers at the same time.

Ah okay cool cool. I think in the vid he says 5.3 but on his blog, he later corrects it.
Good that you mention about the 5 touch points. I wondered what he was doing when he touched the screen like that.
How and why would you use more then 5 fingers at one time anyway? Still pretty cool that the "real" note can do 10.

Ah okay. I am already mooching about for legit ones and there seems to be a good deal on the Real Note from amazon.de for about £350
I am actually quite looking forward for the fake one to arrive to see what its like. When I spoke to the seller, he said it came with some Legit Sammy software so who knows what that's for..
Looks like it Left Guangzhou on Friday so I expect it to be here sometime before the end of this week.
I think spythedude is aware of the fact this phone doesn't come anywhere near the specifications of the real Note. Everything about the phone screams FAKE!!! But still, for 130 pounds I think it's a pretty decent device given it's large capacitive screen. I can't think of any Android phone getting anywhere near such screen size for 130 pounds. It won't be the fastest phone around but there used to be Android phones with even worse hardware that still gave a good user experience.
@spythedude >> If you want, please let us know what you think of the device when you receive it, I'm really curious about it.

Then I mostly emphasized about Colonel Zap reviewer and Fastcardtech fraud, as this is indeed a real fraud when mixing up Samsung product images during unboxing with this so called clone.

Hi
I didn't mix up any pictures, I'm showing in my video exactly what I received when I ordered it. I have the FEELING (and I don't know this) that the box it came in might actually be an original box but of course it could be a fake as well. The phone definitely is NOT made by Samsung and whatever specs I mention in the video, I did so to the best of my knowledge.
I'm not trying too "fool" anyone, I'm just reporting about a phone, trying to show people how a device like this operates, that's it!

I'm not promoting or selling anything. I just make videos of the phones and tablets that I order from China, giving who ever might be interested in these devices "the heads up" what the devices are all about.
I couldn't care less if some likes a particular device or not and/or orders one of them from whatever online store
I've been reviewing phone and tables for years now, some are "fakes", some are not and so far my videos have been very much appreciated by the majority of my viewers
If you don't like my videos, don't watch them. If you don't like the device, don't buy it But please don't accuse me of mixing things up to fool anyone, I've never done that and I never will.

ColonelZap, don't worry buddy. When people sit on a high horse its difficult to see things properly or for what it is.
I appreciate and really enjoy your site for checking things out and I am sure others do too.. You will always get a small percentage of people who like to cry about things they don't agree with or understand.
Take Care
I have been looking into this because my phone is a blackberry and is not really working out for me... so when you get the phone, woud you mind making a video showing how fast is temple run and other such games, also please do a camera video test
