I agree that it looks very cool, but they want to use a MediaTek processor.
MTEK are very unfriendly to modders and the open source community and rarely release any source code. Yet the Gemini guys wrote that they'll support Linux dualboot.
Looks a bit weird to me. I'd like to get that but only if Lineage will run on it.

I wonder if you can actually use it as a phone. like put it to your ear and talk...

That thing looks way interesting. The only thing that I am worried about is how to make a phone call with this.

ohhhhh wtf? thats looking cool
and if u read the description
Gemini is an ultra-thin clamshell mobile device with fully integrated tactile QWERTY keyboard, that fits in your pocket. Designed for Android, it also features a dual boot Linux option. Gemini is fully equipped with 4G, WiFi & Bluetooth enabling both data communications and mobile phone calls

Yes but, I think that to make a call you have to open it up to dial, and use the stereo speakers to listen, there is no ear only speaker.

The Gemini PDA will have a microphone and speaker for phone use whilst closed. Calls can be made in this mode via the voice activation button or wired or wireless headset. Programmable LEDs will enable caller ID for known callers.
Details can be found here:

Yes, I agree, a sub forum for the Gemini would be great. Going by the comments on Indigogo, there would be a lot of interest in it.

You can* there are mics and speakers on both sides so it doesn't matter which way you use it, but forget about using the touchscreen in case you need to. (you'll have to open the clamshell to do so.)
I have one but haven't tested the phone yet (or really plan to) . As mine is an early release model (early backer) it shipped without the e-sim functionality enabled yet (testing still needed), and I really don't want to get a sim card if I don't have to. (Regular Sim cards do/should work)

Building a ROM for a Hitachi G1000

I know this board is specifically for the XDA, but I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. I own a Hitachi G1000 which is a PocketPC Phone Edition device that runs on Sprint PCS's CDMA network. I am wanting to upgrade it to 2003, but Hitachi and Sprint claim that they will never issue such an upgrade. I was hoping to use the 2003 ROMs that were released to upgrade the XDA, but I am concerned that it would not be compatable with the G1000 because of the CDMA radio, the camera built into the phone, and the hardware keyboard. What would I need to do to build a ROM that brings the Sprint utilitys and G1000 specific drivers into the new 2003 system, or is it even possible without assistance from Hitachi?
I think it would be very hard. most of the core part of the os
is very customized by HTC. I guess the same would hold for the g1000.
however, it would be possible to modify the romkitch/mkrom tools to create extended roms, based on your current rom version.
if these specs are correct
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,18795&start=1
then it's not going to happen
because of the whole
32MB Flash EEPROM (Note: OS is not upgradeable or reflashable)
Darn it. I also have a Hitachi G1000, and was hoping to use the ROM upgrades. Not to PPC2003, but rather just the enhancements for PPC2002. I have read many places that the ROM is EPROM, but this article does make me wonder.
Checked Hitachi, it's EEPROM, darn it, darn it, darn it. Looks more and more like they weren't sure if the thing would sell, or even take in the market. Some of the things/specs seem quite a bit short sighted on Hitachi's and Sprint's part. I love the device, but as I look to upgrade, or expand it's abilities, I become more and more dissappointed.
I feel your pain
The lack of expansion and upgrade options for the Sprint System is why I am getting rid of them and Getting an XDA. I really liked my 2032sp but I wanted a bit more. I have gotten an XDA and upgraded it to 128mb of Ram, an 1800 Battery and I can use it on any GSM Network. Good luck in seeking upgrade paths.
Yeah, I'm not a big GSM/GPRS fan. I can atleast get bursts of 80-100k on the 1xRTT, Sprint uses. Went with the Hitachi for the faster proc and keyboard, too. Probably just have to wait for the next gen of them.

Bluetooth handset ?

Is there a bluetooth like a phone handset? I think that would be awesome.

I read on a forum today that the Nokia N810 (and n800 with firmware up-date) internet tablets support Bluetooth SAP (Sim Access Profile) meaning that they can basically be used like a bluetooth car kit to make and receive calls and display caller I.D. from any host phone that supports SAP (The Athena and TyTn being two that I know of). The N800 and N810 also support Dial Up Networking over bluetooth and many other profiles.
N800s are available for 200 quid from www.cex.co.uk (and probably less on Ebay). I cannot confirm that they support SAP for sure but videos and documentation I've seen sure do indicate this. Integrated with a windows mobile device and Chainfire's WMWifirouter application the two devices could work very well together - particularly since the N800/n810s have a webcam and native Flash 9 support. The N800 probably isn't a GREAT DEAL smaller than the Athena, though the N800 sure is: It looks a bit like a slinky, brushed aluminium TyTn.
As far as I know there is no standalone Bluetooth SAP kit however. Just headsets and earpieces with support for number display.
I hope this is of some help.
Well, whoever make a neat bluetooth headset with a dialpad for things thing will get my bucks thats for sure... bluetooth earpeace just doesn't do it.
BTW how do I make the phone the default application when I turn the screen on? I know this must be a simple thing but after countless hours of searching, still no answer. and I tried all the utils from SPB already
Thanks
BT SAP (Sim Access Profile) Handset Client
I'm also looking for a bluetooth handset that could pair up with my HTC x7501 just like a car kit would. It would be nice to have the x7501 sit on my desk and use a separate handset to make calls with.
LG Style-I. Keypad, caller ID display. No SAP or vibrate alert. I thought about it, but since I want a hands-free headset for the car Im just sticking with my Jabra BT8010, which does have a vibrate feature.
http://reviews.cnet.com/front-door/lg-style-i/4505-1_7-31826853.html
I have found the ultimate bluetooth handset, it's £40 though but defo woth considering

sorry Al but i beat you to it in my post 10 mins before yours
big difference in price though, it`s $80 over here.
No, but I was looking for something really light weight, small form, bluetooth only that also has a small dial pad on it.. you know,
Did you see my post above about the LG Style-I? Its what you are looking for.
Yes, well not quite like the LG Style-I... it has horrible reviews, everything from awkward buttons, poor design to hard to read screen, and so on. It does look cool, but it is not as functional. We live in such a technological revolution that the mere fact that this item does not exists is a step backwards ... The retro phone is much better then the Style-I

Does anyone else feels the need for a handset for the Athena?

Yeah, you can chop, sample, mix, effects, and just about anything else you can do with a full sized drum machine. I know this is an extremely complex app, so chances are, we're SOL. but here's to wishful thinkin!!!
Yes this could be good, plug your TP into a mixer, brings a whole new capability to the device.
I also think though, that to port such an app would be an enormous task.
+1 on wishful thinking
Close thread
I think it's safe to say we can go ahead & close this thread. It's not getting too much interest, so i'm assuming it's either damn near impossible to port, or none of the dev's are really willing to give it a shot. Hopefully someone will drop a similar program from WM.
can somebody please port this i need this in my life.

no my friend... while these are all nice apps, they are NOT beat maker. None of the afore mentioned apps have a full functioning drum machine built into it. Not to mention, NONE of the apps allow for 3rd party plug-ins like Pro-Tools export, rewire, t-racks, etc. Beat Maker is the real deal. I'm seriously debating buying a iTouch SIMPLY for this app!!
Maybe you should contact the maker of the App and see if he would port it himself. Maybe he's already making a WM version to sell on the Windows Marketplace.
For the record, I would also be willing to pay to get a port of this app.

damn, why on EARTH didn't i think of this myself?! i might have to look into this.
i have this app "phoenix Studios" and i love it but its not vga and i stop using it because i didnt have enought memory to keep it going on my old ppc6700.
i almost got an iphone just to get that drum machine apps.
Wouldn't the fact that Raphaels do not have a capacitive touchscreen really hinder this Apps original functionality/awesomeness?
Our touch screens are resistive, and are thus incapable of multitouch like an iphone or g1 for example. (I have seen a demo of multitouch on a supposedly resistive screen around on the nets, but never seen a resistive device with multitouch capabilities released) http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/stantums-mind-blowing-multitouch-interface-on-video/ here's the vid
Just a thought, hope your dreams aren't too dashed.
no need to multitap and such.. we just gotta contact the maker of beatmaker and see if hes brewing a version for WM6.1 platforms!
so is this thing ported yet?
Omniano the Band, is the closest thing to date. The other would be Little Snazzy Drummer, which has a free Lite version as well as a paid version. Neither of these are quite as complex as the app. you mentioned, though I find them both very usable and entertaining.

[HACK]Louder Speaker on Nook Color

Pretty straight forward..the speakers on these devices are far from great..I recently refurbished my HTC EVO 4G and of course I had to find some way to recycle these parts..
I took apart my nook and placed the Speaker from my HTC EVO 4G on the contacts direcrly on the board. I used some tape to hold it in place..then re assembled.
.imgur.com/63SNj.jpg
This is a picture of the two speakers side by side..HTC speaker on the right in the stock location ..
Also what I did was unfold the contact leads on the speaker..I didn't need to do tht..but I will order a new speaker and do a proper write up..
I used the DSP app and adjusted the levels..
Its all proper now...
I shall answer all questions and follow via my twitter @iamsucio please use #nookspeaker
I will update the questions from twitter in a post..
Enjoy
Image is not working. Looking forward to seeing the full article when you get it written.

$3 on ebay!!!!
yeap..its pretty straight forward and super cheap..i just layed the speaker on the contacts and held it in place with doublesided tape..so when i reassembled it wouldnt move..
played around with the DSP settings and BOOM!!..
i havent gotten around to ordering a new one..but i did get it a touchstone charging kit that was dumb cheap and this weekend i plan on tackling that task ..which will give me the opportunity to get in there and take better pictures..
putting this speaker in is about as easy as legos..
the nook was designed pretty well and much like the HTC phones..

There's a problem with going that route. You're still using the same crappy speaker, just making it louder, and if you make it too loud for the speaker, it sounds terrible.
If you are using CM 7 on the nook color there is an app on the playstore called "nook tweaks" that will boost your speaker volume. It has all kinds of functions for the external and internal speaker.
Does it go to 11 now?

As mentioned before this had been there since release LAST year. I don't see how this not being included would have changed your perception of what crap is. I'd ask but you would probably only list 1 or 2 things with any other listing still being a problem in KK.
This game is very addicting. I keep borrowing my dad's Nexus 5 just to play it.

I had several problems with LP not present in KK:
- bluetooth not working properly with car
- when the call screen is minimized, sometimes LP won´t end the call after pressing END
- loss of signal quality (much worse radio, might be related to the bluetooth problem)
- audio notifications at night used to be disabled in KK. Now, with LP, I have do turn wi-fi & 4G off at night so the phone won´t disturb me with notifications
- after 2-3 calls, I have to reboot the phone, because the call after that will be completely silent
Again, none of these problems existed before.
I didn't know this so thank you OP. I think the new feature that concerns me most is the addition of Interruptions to the notifications/sound profile. I like my alarm going off even know I put the phone on silent. :/
