Hi,
I'm a new and proud owner of a Zaurus C-1000 from pricejapan (found them on this forum). I've been reading the forums for the past few months. Thanks to everyone's comments, I think I know where to start.
I'm still unsure what wifi card to get, I'm debating between the socket (lower power consumption) and the ambicom (small profile). any suggestions? anyone have both and care to share which is preferred?
I'm going to play with the default Sharp rom --> Cracko --> Pdxarom to figure out which one I prefer.
BTW, the link for Zplayer frontend does not seem to be working, anyone has a working link, or direct me to where to download? Most people mention Kino2 with Mplayer, but I want to try Zplayer also....
Thanks everyone,
Carl

I have both. I use the socket in my C-series and I have been happy with it so I have not tried the ambicom in it (it is in my 5500). I will try it this weekend and let you know my preference.

Thanks for the quick response.
I just localized the Zaurus to english!, on to the fun. took me 5 minutes and google for save the chages to the config file in vi. First thing on the list, if i'm going to be using the terminal, install a more user friendly text editor

Why did you select these two cards? I prefer the symbol card ( and also have an ambicom). It is smaller than the ambicom and needs less power...

The price is why I've not considered it.... most online stores have it over $100, while the other two are sub $100. If you have any links to a reputable site, selling it sub $100, please share I would consider getting it.

Thanks Cresho. Is there a way to install more than one of your themes? BTW, the oslinux them ver1.5, do you plan on finishing it?
I love mplayer, other than space constraints, no need to re-encode video files. is Vlan available for Cacko or Sharp rom? I noticed it's in the pdaXrom feed.
-
hmmm....not sure if i am. I did not plan on having themes changable through a gui interface just because each one is around 4-6mb big. having 4 themes translates to alot of used space on a c1000.
-
actually what we can do is create a directory on a cf/sd card then symlink the directory where pics and pics144 should be, then you can just install the theme(actually iconset) in there. Now if we could get an interface to change the symlink properties to point to a different folder, then changing iconsets would be easy.

I spent the weekend using the Ambicom WI-FI card instead of the Socket card with my 760. For what it is worth, I definitely prefer the Socket card. the Ambicom juts out too much, drains the battery quicker, and also was a lot more finicky than the Socket. Sometimes it wouldn't suspend/resume properly and sometimes I had trouble getting an IP Address. I never have these problems with the Socket.

Thank ThirtyOne, I'm going to order one today. Are you using the Sharp/Cacko rom?

Actually I use pdaxrom.
