Old news story about them

Instead it uses low-cost semiconductor-based sensors. Mr Spare says this means the company can sell the technology to the manufacturers of mobile devices for about $35. He expects it to be available in the first half of 2003.

HAHAHA Its now 2004 and the the retail costs is nearly $200 typical
As i said in a previous post, these are so new the manufacturer hasnt started selling them yet!! they appear to be research and development units. buy one if you like but if you need service or tech support you will be in deep s**t.
here is the link to the manufacturers web site

They are actually already available in the UK from http://www.internity.co.uk/vkb.asp. They are £105 inc VAT and P&P.
I have had mine for over a week and it works like a charm with my Himalaya.

Hi Martin
I was obviously wrong with my other posts . if you follow my link you can see where i was coming from.
Appologies to all.

Pilgrim, would be very interested to learn of your experience with this keyboard, I look forward to it.
Any reviews? Seems good

I changed my HTC device with an Apple Iphone..the major thing I miss is the XDA developers forum ... In the future can we (about 5000k people..) at least hope to have one ? cheers....
probably not, this forum is for ms pda's (mainly htc), notice not much talk of palm devices either you'll probably have to find other forums that discuss the iphone cuz ive noticed not many people on this forum even like the word iphone unless its getting bashed. so good luck but i wouldnt look forward to it
I heard Apple is releasing the dev kit for the iPhone...so people can start writing their own apps for the phone. Also heard something about being able to run webapps offline.
I'm sure the iPhone forums will take off as soon as people start developing for the iPhone.
yeah it's true. tomorrow for the devkit !
If it's not made by HTC you won't get it through the door. There'll be sites-a-pleanty once a devkit is out but probably none as good as this. I wonder if Apple will set about having them shut down? You can't have people using their own property for anything they want you know.....
another issue is that apple use objectC rather then c++ or c# or even old c or poorly VB
and objectC is a world apart from the other languages
HTC

This is really an HTC only forum.
Sorry to plug, but forums.macrumors.com has a pretty good iPhone/iPhone Hacking Community.
Hey!
A little Definion about "XDA":
"The [O2] Xda brand is a range of O2-branded Windows Mobile PDA phones, produced by multiple manufacturers (mainly HTC, Quanta and Erima). The first model was released in June 2002. The "X" represents convergence of voice and information/data within one product; the "da" stands for "digital assistant", as in PDA."
I think this forum should be specified in Windows Mobile. The iPhone isn't a productively device on the market! And the people who buy this expensive "Fun-Gadget" doesn't use it to develop something on it.
"The iPhone is a dust-bin: It can look beautiful, but the contents are rubbish."

What part of the contents are rubbish? Just wondering becuase I just got a good deal on a 16gb and I cant find flaws. BTW, I purchased it to resell it becuase it was way too cheap. Not to mention, it would give me a chance to see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you...I know why so many devs on xda are trying to emulate some of the features and charecteristics of the iphone. Bcuase it is the best phone/handheld device that I have ever played with.
In my idea, not to go into all of the greatness of the iphone in my opinion, but if I can buy a 16gb for $400 (unlocked to use with any gsm carrier), $5.99 T-ZOne hack and many other cool things like SNES, NES with each having about 100 or so games etc. and the abilty to add 12 movies and over 700 songs and still have over 7gb to play with and still running like lightning.......my mind is made up.
DOnt let me forget about the accelorometer and the games that are available that utilize the accelorometer.
Please tell me where the rubbish is.
Oh and BTW, I am locked in my Verizon contract for another couple of months on my 6700 so I cant %100 test the calling capabilities yet as I have not hooked this one up.
Just contacted GelaSkins to enquire about the S II, and they replied with this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Potatoman
Thank you for your email! The Galaxy S II is definitely on our list of devices to skin, but I'm afraid that we do not have a release date scheduled yet. Stay tuned!
Elizabeth Czetyrbok | GelaSkins Inc.
Check us out on Facebook and Twitter!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shame the release date isn't set yet, but good news nonetheless! Personally I find them to be some of the most unique skins (I use the Neo New York one for my laptop ) and they do a great job of protecting the device. Thought I'd put this up here in case anyone was holding off on buying a skin until something new came around, I avoided the gel ones because I find them a bit plain and boring.
Yeah, I like them too, they look great!
Indeed! I dunno, but for a phone that had 3 million preorders, I like these skins because they make my phone feel unique sue me, I like being a snowflake ^_^
Not sure how well they would look with the textured back on the SGS2. We shall see
You can also upload your own disign and they will fabricate it for you!
no directly links to advertise please
it's okay to link to ebay/amazon and other such market places, but direct links to the manufacture or distributor websites are not allowed, unless a Marketing deal has been made with XDA Admins
Apologies, I wasnt aware, i just saw other threads discussing it and assumed the rule referred to official advertising.
As for the textured back, I don't think it will matter, my laptop one is pretty thick anyway so it should smooth it out. My laptop isnt AS textured as the SGS2, but it flattens this backplate out quite nicely, so we'll see i guess.
amagad how long should we wait ((( don't they know that our devices will be delivered soon (many have already got it)
I think they will release once it is out in the US, since they are a US company. I've bought a cheap case off ebay for £4 to protect the phone until gelaskins release them :3
by the way, there is an alternative - ZAGGskins. does anybody know if they are planning to make skins for our device too?
Great idea... i cant wait until they have the template ready

Hopefully, when SGS2 sells like hotcakes, manufacturers will start churning out cases and protectors like no-ones business
This is the first time I've heard of Gelaskins. I looked them up and their skins look amazing! Looking forward to their release of skins for the SGS2.
EDIT: Just received news from Gelaskins that the skins for the SGS2 should be up on the site on Monday or Tuesday!
SGS2 Skins now available
Thanks for the heads up
Brilliant
Just ordered mine
For some reason, my card isnt getting accepted. Well Ill try later I guess
I'm gonna order mine tonight i think... some great looking skins on their
Just a thought!!!!
Would the skin not interfere with the touch keys at the bottom?
Ok my dear fellow users, here´s the thing, since the guys from Game Gripper aren't interest in adapting their product to our devices, I figured out it's time for a different approach, this, is the GameKlip:
This is what I've send to the guy who made this little piece of magic:
Hi, my name is Santiago Console, I’m a Captivate Glide user and an active participant of the XDA Forum dedicated to the development for this phone. A few month’s back, we gathered a bunch of request, from people who were trying to make this guys:
http://www.game-gripper.com/
Adapt their product to our phone, for some reason, they didn’t bother, even after we gather more people than the D3 Community, and that guys ended up getting it. That aside, will you be interested in adapting the GameKlip to our phone ? I can assure you, that, at least, you will sell 30 units, right after you set up the pre-order J
To know the dimensions and the shape of our phone, you can look into this page:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i927_captivate_glide-4071.php
Thanks, and I hope you can make this happen
END OF THE E-MAIL
He answered that if get's enough requests, he will make a GameKlip for the Glide and, come on, there's a lot of pros about this thing:
1) If you already have a PS3 Controller, you don't have to spend a lot of cash to play like a real Gamer on your device.
2) You can take advantage of the Glide's OTG functionality.
3) It's only a "Clip", so it's not like it's going to broke, get lost, or anything XD
So, the idea it's the same as with the GameGripper request before, so, please, If you have some time, and want to have this "Clip" available for the Glide, take a few minutes, and write an E-Mail to the creator, and tell hin that, If he makes it, you will buy it. His E-Mail is [email protected]
You can learn more about the GameKlip here:

Thanks for letting me know about this, filled out a request.

I was thinking about this, maybe I can even make Rogers send it to my courrier on the US, it's there any custom taxes for sending something from Canada to US ? Because if it is, then, I would just make my courrier pick it up directly from Rogers, it would be a little more expensive, but, safest as well.
And, about the thread, keep going, Game Gripper for the Glide it's possible, we just have to make sure that people over GG know that there's a lot of customers willing to pay for this device.
I like the iControlPad personally, it has 2 analog sticks that are great to use, but will request this for you guys anyways!

Bump !!!!!
Done! How many submissions are they supposed to get before they consider doing it?
Maybe it's time to face the reality, we are not going to get the Game Gripper for the Glide, also, with MOGA around the corner, I would discourage anyone who's considering to buy the iControlPad, because, no mather how expensive the MOGA could be, It can't be very far from the iControlPad's price, also, it has better materials, and support from the big fishes like EA and Gameloft.
Farewell Game Gripper, you had your chance, and you lost it.

Yeah, I was also thinking about that, but aparently Moga it's having some trouble with the compatibily, and now the guys are telling us that in order to work with the Moga every f*cking game we used to play has to be re-writed, sorry, but for me, that's a deal breaker, I want the biggest compatibility list posible.

Looks like we wont have to wait much longer than that.
Just a quick word. people that order the free devices are supposed to give it proper use. Specifically, this particular program is aimed at giving Nokia developers the opportunity to migrate of create new apps for Windows Phone.
If you are not interested to keep the device and do just that, then you are basically taking advantage of a situation that can create a precedence to the point that Nokia may stop making such offerings in the future. I'm not an affiliate from Nokia or work for them btw.
The best way to show Nokia that it is good investment to continue to deliver free or discounted devices to developers is to actually do what you have set to do when you pressed the order button.
Also you should check if you are not in violation of your agreement when you ordered the device. I dont have any idea if its allowed or not to resell the device. I would be surprised if it is.
My 2 cents.

I know people have posted that they want to buy them, I don't know if anyone talked about selling theirs(from the program). I personally am signed up as a developer because I am, and that is just what this phone is going to be used for. I am developing cross-platform applications to broaden my targetable client base so getting a free phone to test on is a god send because I don't actually have the funds to purchase my own.
In any case I do agree with what you said.

When Microsoft handed me and Lumia 800 "for free" they basically wrote on the contract: "loan for 2 years" and that it shall be returned after that which would prevent me from selling it if I ever wanted. Probably something similar for you guys.
Like you said as well; Nokia is showing a lot of good-will and wants to get WP7 off the ground so it would be sad if some of the "devs" would try abusing it.

Didn't realize nokia had a contract with the devs in order to receive the free phone. Are there NDA's involved too ? Is a credit card involed or is this tied to the devs payout account from the market (app sales) in any way ?

Honestly I have no clue, I got my phone through a Microsoft programme as part of a deal that whomever managed to get 3 certified apps on the market within a month were to recieve a new Lumia 800. I had to sign a 2-paged contract and the relevant point in it was that you "borrowed it" and wasn't allowed to sell it on.
Nokia might want to protect themselves as well and not just giving out free money to some people, one way is to have a contract that screws over any dev if they sell it.
Just a quick reminder to everyone, any transactions that take place through XDA must happen in the Marketplace forum in a Public thread. This is one thing that is strictly enforced and is for the protection of both parties, as well as XDA.
Please read the Marketplace Rules and then check out the XDA Marketplace if you are looking to buy or sell a device.
Has anyone else that was in on this gotten theirs shipped yet? It's been a little over 2 weeks since they told me 2 weeks but still sitting at 'new order'.
Looks like I spoke too soon! just got my shipping notification, its being sent from TURKU - FINLAND. On another note I looked over the agreement for getting the phone and it looks as if it is treated just as I purchased the phone myself so resale is ok, I still however plan to use the phone for dev.
