vga support in JASJAR - new device

what do you thing about this device:
http://www.spectec.com.tw/en/sdv-840.htm
does it good enough for the JASJAR?
thank's
omry

If the SD slot is used for this device, then where to store the files (presentation, pictures, movies, etc) to be shown via the projector?
There are few options such as via Wifi/bluetooth streaming, but that makes this solution (combination of Jasjar and this SDIO VGA) not elegant, such as when you visit a customer to give presentation.

FYI, A UK Supplier:
http://www.jactron.co.uk/pretec/io/sdio/sd-presenter.htm
Lists the same item as coming soon.

i beleive this is gr8, i can manage the size fo rthe time being to be on the device. it will give me a gr8 comfort when doing the presentation at the client office instead of carrying the laptop with me.
can't wait to get this device.

Yessss, this could transform our toy in a media center and run movies stored on some external HDD.
Has anyone tried the solution already?

What this device needs is 256-1024 megs of memory included, like you had at some point with the SDIO-wlan+256M cards.
Better yet if they can simply put an extra SD slot in the already large dongle -- that should be possible if a bit more difficult.

That's a very good idea, the only possible problem is how much bandwidth does VGA use ??? because if its all of it then you won't have much room for data !! however it should be possible to get an SD card reader writer that plugs into the jasjars USB port ( but then we run into all the same old problems about the jasjar not being a USB host ) its a no win situation !!!

Speaking of which, why the *hell* did they give the thing physically a USBHost port (or rather, a mini-AB instead of a mini-B like cardreaders and digicams, indicating it supports USBHost) if it doesn't *actually* support it? I think that might even be enough to disqualify it from bearing the USB logo, technically.

upgrade to orbit? yes or no?

o2 have offered me an upgrade from my IIi to the orbit. As some of you have been using the orbit for a little while is it all it's cracked up to be?
and does tomtom work ok with the orbit and the built in gps reciever?
cheers guys

Go for it you will love it if not sell it many will be after it if you don't like it.
Or you could wait for the zinc (feb 07 or so) if you can do without the gps in-built?

There is an issue with MicroSD's that possibly dosnt effect all units. See other threads.
Apart from that and if you clock it to 250MHz it works extremely well. I loved my BlueAngel but even my old stylus feels fat now. The jog dial / track ball is mega and internal GPS a breeze. The slower CPU also has the benefit of longer battery life.
I am currently looking for one for a friend on eBay and they are going for £300+ so if you dont like it can always sell and keep old phone...
ps. I use a Sandisk UltraII 2gb MicroSD which may speed up map access etc, its generally slightly slower than my 500MHz BlueAngel but no problem.

I'm a new user of the Xda Orbit, my first WM PDA after owning a tapwave zodiac and the first phone I can really type text messages on. For a PDA it's light, snappy (my last wm device was a Compaq Aero 15xx), has an excellent battery life and the GPS works a treat.
The biggest benefit is the size, though, compared to the other similarly featured Xda's in the o2 lineup this one is TINY, it dropped the jaws of my techy colleagues to the floor.
I find TomTom to be pretty fast and accurate getting a fix, route calculations are fast enough, but it is a little slow to start up initially- overclocking helps but not much. I have overclocked to 260 for PocketSNES and on other occasions but find it normally fast enough to be comfortable - quite a feat with a meer 200mhz!
I'd say go for it, I'm posting this message from Mine now! got 3 tabs open text-mode in NetFront- browsing perfection!

I have had the following:
XDA II
XDA IIs
XDA IIi
XDA Exec
And recently upgraded to the Orbit. I must say that it is the closest I have come to being 100% happy with an XDA.
Had no idea how compact this device is. No more holding a brick to your ear, this is an aesthetically pleasing device - even for non PDA'ers.
I haven't found anything that doesn't work yet. I thought the GPS would be just another gimick and there was no way it was going to work properly without an external antenna - WRONG! Stick TomTom 6.02 on it and away you go. Managed nearly seven hours of GPS directed driving before the battery got too low (have now got a car charger).
I have been waiting for a device that combined all the functionality of a good PDA and phone in a phone size package and here it is.............and they throw in a GPS and FM Radio to boot.
and one more thing if you get a decent set of headphones (either buy an adapter or do a bit of DIY soldering) it's a pretty decent MP3 player too. 2GB micro SD from Moby Memory for about £40 and painless synching with Media Player 11 and your away.
The main reason I have a PDA phone is for Terminal Server. I provide software support and it gives me the freedom to get out of the House/Office and still be able to support my Clients. I was always able to justify carrying around a house brick (EXEC) because of this. Now I don't have to this phone is great and I have to say it ..... Gorgeous.
OK now it's out - I love my Orbit!!!
Go get one - I'm pretty sure you'll be happy!
Hope this helped!

Since a couple of weeks ago, I'm also the proud owner of a HTC P3300, after owning a Qtek S100 for a year and a half.
I'm truly very happy with my new P3300.
Almost all of the features have been mentioned in other replies to your post (and I agree with them), so, I want to add that, despite having the same 64Mb of RAM as the S100, it seems to me (I'm no expert) that memory management works better (probably WM5 instead of WM2003 has something to to with it) than it did on the S100.
Also the new 2Mpixel camera works very well, the picture quality is very good. It doesn't have flash or 'macro mode' selector, but I can live without it.
The phone capabilities are good (I had a lot of problems with the S100 not relating phone numbers to names or contact photos).
Apart from a little problem I had with activesync (mentioned in another thread and already solved) it's been working perfectly.
As for the GPS softwares, I use Destinator 6 (instead of TomTom) and Navitel (with custom Madeira map) for navigation and both of them work perfectly.
Bottom line, and yes, I'll be repating myself, I'm very very happy with my P3300.
regards,

thanks for the advice guys! looks like im off to get myself one then!

How about InfraRed capability?
I currently own a Mini S and I'm really keen to upgrade to the Orbit. I've however found that Orbit seems not to have an InfraRed port. So I wouldn't be able to use it as a TV remote control. Can anyone please confirm? Thanks.

as far as i could see and i've read no it doesnt have an IR port, but surely using your phone as a tv remote isn't the be all and end all is it?

I asked HTC about making this device with consumer grade IR and 3G to make this a complete device. This is the response i got from HTC.
"Thank you for getting in contact with HTC regarding your recommendations and support. its more than likely a phone will come out with the functions you have asked. Its a case that at the moment a trade of as to be implemented due to technology reasons due to the GPS functions incorporated in to the phone, which requires other hardware to be dropped from the phone. The GPS being implemented is still fairly new concept and even through I don't have details of future phones its only a matter of time before it happens. Personally i'm waiting for a phone/GPS with slide out keyboard, which again can only be a matter of time.
Thank You for your comments"
All in all adding IR and 3G would make this one compact complete device. Use it to control your gadgets, navigate you around when driving, using it for phone and all manner of PPC functionality with virtually every connection option. One day it will be reality.
Just a snippet from HTC
Hope that helps.

Absolutely YES
Look at my signature, I've worked with nearly all HTCs from an early stage. If you can live without a keyboard, this is THE device to have at the moment.
HTC are nearing perfection!
Best device ever released (excluding the Universal for business use, still unbeatable).

I just got one - having been through the magician (which the wife now loves and uses) and the exec (which I still use as an excellent business tool) I have got to say that I am bowled over by the Orbit/3300 - WM5.0 AKU3, GPS, great screen, brilliant battery life (I get 3 days moderate usage out of mine between charges - 10 calls per day, push email on 18 hours per day, occasional GPS use!
GET ONE - U WILL NOT REGRET IT - and per other posts, if you don't like it I am sure it will get snapped up on EBAY

HTC offering TT6 on the Artemis

Hi all
This post is in relation to the 'corrupt 2gb' posting. My 2 week old Orbit has needed to be re-set twice in the last couple weeks so I guess I'm part of the 'forgetful' micro SD card brigade. Having to re-install everything is a PITA.
I was flicking through my PC magazine and saw an advert for HTC P3300 and the inclusion of TT6 as the SatNav solution bundled in.
So that got me thinking, what brand/type of card do those units ship with? the website http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcp3300.html shows various UK stockists, has anyone bought one like this? and are they experiencing the same?
Are the HTC branded units are having the same issue as 'orbit' owners? if so, then there is a genuine case that the units are not 'fit for purpose' and HTC could well have a situation on their hands. The many many people who are experiencing this 'issue' should go back to the retail outlet where the unit was purchased and put in a note that the unit isn't fit for pupose and is indeed faulty from initial or very early on it's useful operational life and get thier money back. Statutory rights - certainly within the UK, should allow this course of action - however, I'm not saying everyone should and will run out to do this as the handset is very sought after.
Anyone have info or using the HTC branded unit with the TT6 ? please let us know if the same issue exists!
Apologies if this has been included in another thread, if so, I haven't seen it!
I'm very miffed with this issue...!!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!

My HTC Artemis was supplied with a 512MB card and the TomTom DVD containing maps for Europe, I have installed just the UK map along with Route 66 nav software and a number of other products - topographical mapping etc - in the 3 plus months I have used the unit I have had no such data corruption - only use the card for storage though nothing else, and allways exit the programs properly (in the case of TTN don't just switch off the device, exit the application first) - the supplied 512MB card is a typical San Disk offering - nothing special - Mike

I got my P3300 with TT6.02 and had no microSD card - so it was bundled in with the rest of the software. (I should mention that I didn't get the Premium Version). I was allowed 1 free map to download and it wasn't even for the whole country either.
After following along the 2GB corrupt card thread for a while, I got a 1GB Sandisk microSD Ultra II card and I am only using that for storage - notes made with Word Mobile.
The only application I have installed so far is Magic Button - Yet Another Task Manager 2.0.

Keyboard less Responsive Problems

Gents I just wan to collect some ideas or experiences on my issue. since few weeks my keyboard giving me troubles. Some of the keys are less responsive and need more pressure to type correctly. I am not sure whether it is the rubber membrane or the keypad. Anyone has such experience and any idea what can be done to fix it? Obviously I don't wan to spend 250-300 USD to buy complete set of Keyboard for my old Universal

Not That I Know What Causes It But I Too Would Like To.
Since Having My Brand New G4 Replaced With A Nearly New G4 Device, (Due To A Broken USB Port)
I Too Experience This But Only With The Number 6 Key. (Haven't Noticed Any Others Yet)
If Anyone Knows Why And If Its Fixable Please Let It Be Public Knowledge.

Uni Replacement keyboard,case source
Hi, my USB connector pulled out, so I have been searching for parts & accessories sources. This is just one of many I have found: NEW OEM FULL HOUSING CASE + KEYBOARD FOR I-MATE JASJAR $56.00 total http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160242894972&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006
I am a beginner JasJar owner/user, so most of that I read on this web site is greek to me, but interesting copy. Maybe I will learn something, or not? I love my JasJar and I am sure I am using a minimal of its capabilities. I have a 1gb card in use and an 8gb card it does not see, an Spanish Dictionary card it does not see or I cannot access. I am sure it needs to be upgrades from WM5 to WM6, but I am not proficient enought to do myself. After copying the correspondence there appears to be many versions of WM6 with varying drawbacks. I will continue to read ya'alls correspondence and input when I feel I can assist. Hugh

Review of EasyAcc BA406 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter

This Bluetooth adapter works flawlessly and I haven't ran into a single hiccup!
In the package: You get the adapter itself, a CD to install its drivers (only if you're on Windows XP/Vista, otherwise it will automatically install on Windows 7/8), and an "EasyAcc cares about you" card.
First Impressions: Wow, this thing is TINY! When I first plugged it in on my Windows 7 laptop, it automatically installed its drivers and was already up and running. A Bluetooth menu starts appearing in the Notification Area of your Taskbar. I have already paired my phone with my laptop and it was a breeze. I just clicked on the Bluetooth Icon in the Notification Area, clicked the "Add a Device" button, and went ahead from there. I already sent a file from my phone to my laptop and received it in seconds. It is very nice! Files are automatically saved in your documents but you can change the file location.
After using this for a while, I have to say, it is quite useful have Bluetooth capabilities on my laptop. I no longer have to pull out a micro-USB cable every time I want to transfer a file from my phone to my laptop or vice versa. I was able to transfer 12 photos from my phone to my laptop in over a minute (the bigger the file, the longer the transfer times). You can connect to other laptops, tablets, wireless headphones, and even headsets to this small adapter. You can connect just about any Bluetooth device. I think that is truly amazing!
I used to hate how my laptop did not come with Bluetooth already, but then I received this from the nice folks at EasyAcc and it is truly remarkable. I can't imagine not having it. This would be great for students, people that use computers in the work industry, people that are traveling, people on vacation that quickly want to travel their vacation pictures, just about anyone and anybody! If you own a computer or laptop that does not have Bluetooth, you really should consider buying this!
Overall, this device was very good and performed fantastically with no problems whatsoever. It never heats up or anything of the sort. I highly recommend this!
I was supplied a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to this product on Amazon because posting commercial links is forbidden, but you can find it on Amazon by searching for the product's name that is in the title of this thread. Thanks!

Is this OK with Window 7 Enterprise x64 SP1?
Sorry to trouble you but I was hoping you could tell me which version of Windows you are running. There is a review on amazon which says that the device does not work on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (USB device not recognised reported).
Many thanks..

Not a problem at all. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and it seemed to work fine for me.
