If they ripped off a working video chipset and drivers, I'd buy it...

You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag

"You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag "
LOL !!!
Nice

Interestingly that endgadget article has a post that this phone does not actually run Windows Mobile... but some sort of rip-off.
Other sites that sell the device don't state WM6 (or any version) on their features list.
Does M$ charge alot for putting WM on a device? If so that could be one reason for the low price.
Plus it only has a 30 day warranty, I believe the tilt has a 1 year(?)

Uses "some sort of Windows Mobile operating system". The real one is already a buggy mess, go figure that one...LOL

I bet it will perform better than the Kaiser, and I'm not kidding (sadly).

It will probably perform better than the Kaiser because it is using a basic OS that is more like a calculator than a Windows Mobile.
So, it probably boots up in 5 seconds, switches apps in a fraction.
But it also probably doesn't have TouchFlo, PIE, or many of the other features that make the Kaiser/Tilt nice.
It is like any of the other numerous phones out there on the market (like from Verizon) that have a slide out keyboard with a proprietary OS.
This of course is assuming the statements above about it not being WM6 are true. If it indeed runs WM6 then I am sure the performance will be equivalent to the Kaiser.

What to use an extra 17" LCD for?

I was just given a newish 17" LCD (VGA) for free. I'm already using both ports on my PC, so what can I use it for? Obviously I could sell it, but I'm wondering about other uses:
- Video game console if I pickup a converter?
- Some sort of info display in my bedroom? (easy, cheap way to display headlines, current weather, etc.?)
- neat-o big ass digital picture frame?
What else? Also, does anyone have any leads on the above? What say you?

Use it as your PPC's monitor, drag it around town, woooooohooooo!!!!
Or as a door greeter:

if u can build pc make a car pc

17 is WAYY too big for a carpc, im using an 8in and thats huge considering your only 1 foot away from the screen. if i were you i would put in next to your current monitor and put ur music player and stuff like that on that screen while u use the main screen for web browsing and what not.

What I'd really love is a Chumby like device or the WidgetStation (which I don't know if it will ever come out...)
I could re-create it using a small Linux system, but it's the hardware I don't have a clue about. I envision now waking up to this display near my bed, on it are some "widgets" with weather, time, some RSS feeds, etc.
That would be sweet...

That's not a bad idea ChaOConnor. I like having everything right there when I wake up also.

I do like this idea. I may have to ponder it for myself.
Oh And ON that Note....

Anyone see the Raspberry Pi? MMM delicious

Has anyone been eyeing up the Raspberry Pi? Soon to come out of the development stage into production. Looks like it would be a winner combined with a small touchscreen display and a port of ICS (with the phone stuff, etc, removed to enhance performance)
The details :The first product is about the size of a credit card, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen accessory for a low cost tablet. The product will be available in two configurations: Model A and Model B. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured Model-A system and around $35 for a Model B.

I know you wouldn't create a new thread without first searching, as specified in the rules which you read when you joined, so I assume there's something wrong with the search function. Would you like to let admin know it's not working or shall I?

ahhh ****, I was typing in rapberry pi lmao, and no it's not spam. Went up and typed it again, soon as I had Ra in it came up Rapberry. No wonder I never saw it Q_Q
Too bad! Plus its coming out soon.

Yeh, looking forward to the release date, hoping to be one of the lucky bidders chosen
Have you registered?

looking forward to it....also FXI Cotton Candy

[GAME][Android 4.0+] Sic Semper

EDIT: Now in open(and free!) beta! PM me for details
I'm close to finishing my new game, "Sic Semper". It's a space exploration and combat game with a randomized galaxy of 200 stars, each with a random number of planets(between 1 and 5), each with randomly generated terrain.
For the backstory: Humanity was almost entirely conquered by an alien race called the Ypetigan shortly after achieving interstellar travel. All that was left was a single secret facility working on a ship that would be capable of defending itself against the Ypetigan. The player takes command of that ship to rebuild human civilization by colonizing planets, expanding across the galaxy, and eliminating the Ypetigan.
Sic Semper features 7 different ship types, 6 weapon types, 4 types of turrets and 12 component upgrades. Initially, Sic Semper will be released for Android, but I also plan to release on basically any platform I can(I've made proof-of-concept ports of older builds to ubuntu using Qt and Chrome native client).
Here's a video of some of the basic gameplay in action(sorry for framerate issues, it's the fault of the screen recorder I used. I typically get ~60fps in practice):
And here's some screenshots:
Solar System view:

Ship Customization Garage screen:
Also, here's the full album, if you want to see screenshots of progress dating back to March, 2012(I've been working on the game for more than 2 years): https://plus.google.com/photos/116688016659241634367/albums/5667908906736055633?fd=1
Finally, for a little technical info: The game uses my own custom gameplay and graphics engine using OpenGL ES 2.0. I wrote all the code myself(hence the > 2 years of development), got the ship models from turbosquid and the sound effects are modified versions from Freesound.org. I'm planning on releasing to the Play Store initially(probably 1-2 months down the road) and then Ouya(I already have controller support and have tested it successfully on Ouya). Then I'll probably port it to PC and possibly Chrome Native Client.

I'm now ready to open up a beta. PM me your google account(invitations have to go through google+) and I'll send an invite to the beta test(This will happen in stages, first come first serve).

Cool
That's perfect. hard and done a great job

Chromecast now in Wal-Mart !!

:good:

I looked at my local Walmart on Thursday and there was no Chromecast with the Roku products.

Next time you're there, I'm very curious to know what serial numbers they have... and whether they are of the format 3xxx101xxxxx or something different.

Just look on their site. If one is avail at a store near you the site will tell Ya. Then head on down to check the serial. It's 2013

Back to WalMart today. Might have missed them the other day as they were in a special cardboard floor display at the end of an isle.
Must have been over twenty of them, mostly 3A's but there were around six or so that were 3802 and 3807 but I didn't pry out the three that were in separate pockets! :laugh:

Of course its now in WalMart, that where all worthless old technology goes.

Your mileage may vary, my Chromecast is far from worthless.

While I would never buy a computer from Wal-Mart, lots of people buy TVs and other consumer stuff there.
Chromecast in Wal-Mart means more market penetration (I recently noticed the TV ads for Chromecast), and now they're finally making active strides for outside development with a hackathon at Google HQ.
Looking at the serial numbers alone, we have at least 30M Chromecasts produced, and that's using a conservative calculation of 10K units per first-four range, but there should definitely be more than 10K per, as the final 5 positions are definitely alphanumeric.
