Software / Keyhelper Help...
« on: June 30, 2005, 06:20:22 am »
Sadly the keyhelperconf doesent recognise the comma key. Oh well, it's not a problem, I've just disabled keyhelper which means I don't get the sticky shift.

Software / Keyhelper Help...
« on: June 18, 2005, 08:13:45 am »
It's all a bit strange, as when I remove those lines, as long as Keyhelper is enabled, the ',' still requires shift!
I hardly use console or scripting at all - only when I'm trying to get the comma sorted so I can do writing! I used the Zaurus for Uni you see, so it was always writing and taking notes, where you don't want to use / all the time, and always need the comma!
Cheers for the help though!

Software / Keyhelper Help...
« on: June 17, 2005, 07:25:26 pm »
Does anyone know how to get the Comma key to produce a comma without the shift key?
Last year, I bought a Zaurus C860, and when I received it, I was quite annoyed that I had to use the shift key every time I wanted a comma! I played with Keyhelper for a while and figured out a way of fixing the problem. Sadly, I didn't keep a record of how to fix it, and need to as I'm selling my C860 on.
I've re-installed Cacko, and have spend a good bit of time trying to get the ',' key to work, but no success. I've go the 'sticky shift' which is good, but in order to get the comma working properly, I've got to disable keyhelper, loosing the sticky shift.
Can anyone give me a keyhelper.xml file, or the code that works on Cacko 1.22 on a C860 that has the comma key working properly?
I've searched for ages, tried many things, but nothing seems to work. Frustrating stuff, when I know all it needs is a couple of lines of simple text!!!! Cheers in advance for any help!!

I wonder why they went with the half sized mmc cards?I guess the Half sized MMC slot would make it easier to design a smaller package.

This sort of thing will really come into it's own when Wi-Max or a similar technology becomes widespread, then people can always have a functional internet connection with them (3G etc is currently too expensive for most people to use it much, e.g. streaming web Radio for an hour would not be cheap!).

Maybe a good choice; it does look really great. If you're going to use it as a PDA, you might need to check that there's a synchronisable personal information manager available. It's not supposed to be a PDA (According to nokia), but with some slight modifications (Maybe less wide, keyboard), it could be the closest thing to a viable 'laptop replacement' PDA available.

Apart from the bigger screen and Wifi/BT, I don't see what extras it brings that the Zaurus doesnt.
Those alone make it worth considering for me! Also, it adds a Mic, decent video support, Flash Player 6, internet radio streaming (So, mainly software benefits) and it's thinner.
Not sure about PIM though?

The Inq is reporting that it will cost only $349! Sounds too cheap for the great screen and features. 400 €uros sounds more like it, but lets hope it's less.
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=23494
Sounds like a good device, and apparently it has a TI OMAP Processor (http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=11991&path=templatedata/cm/product/data/omap_1710)
Just slap on a keyboard and camera and it's almost perfect! Maybe Sharp needs to stay sharp if it's not to loose out.

Hi,
I'm looking for £250 minimum ($470), plus postage for the Zaurus + SD card & Wifi card, some guy's on e-bay are trying for £380 ish, but I recon they would be lucky to get that!
If anyone is interested, feel free to make an offer.
Will swap for a good condition Clie NX + some money (£140 ish) if anyone wants.

Hi, I have a C860 with 512mb SD and Wifi card, perfect condition (Bar some tiny marks - I don't have a camera to show, but they are insignificant. When closed, no marks can be seen). Screen is totally free of scratches or dead pixels.
I have the original box and everything that came with it - it is pretty much as good as new! Only difference is that it now has a metal stylus (And 2 spare), not the riginal plastic one.
Please reply if you are interested.

The problems I've found with QPsword:
- Selecting book/chapter/verse requires keyboard/handwriting input (A pain, could be all stylus)
- Not many versions available (I'd like NIV/ESV/NASB)
- Cannot change size of text
Apart from these issues, it's great, and for free it's not bad, it's just a shame there is no more functional alternative (Similar to oliveTree biblereader for Palm/pocket PC).

General Discussion / Which Rom To Use? Which Is Best? Why?
« on: May 03, 2005, 09:36:02 am »
I fully agree - Meanie - you are a legend! I don't have the first clue about linux, so all those command lines look scary, but I'll certainly have to try xQT and Openoffice etc! (Never had any success with getting xQT to work with anything in the past!) You should get together with some other clever people and make a way for thick people like me to easily install openoffice, firefox, thunderbird etc from an IPK - I'm sure a good few people would pay for it!
Why don't Sharp include ways to do all this stuff simply in their default Rom?

General Discussion / Zaurus Replacement?
« on: April 30, 2005, 01:15:32 pm »
Now, what I'm going to say is a bit silly, and would probably be way too expensive etc, but I enjoy thinking about it anyway: Why not buy out Sony's old Clie division and make a great PDA?
I used to own a Sony Clie NX80v - amazing device, extremely well built (Lovely Magnesium rather than tacky Zaurus and other PDA's plastic!), had good features (Camera, microphone, Music controller etc) and had good hardware and battery life.
I don't have a clue about Sony's structure, how they manufacture etc, but as they have stopped making PDA's, could they sell off that division of their company?
Basically, I would love a decent clamshell mini-laptop PDA running Linux, so something like my current C860 but with features more than 'screen and keyboard', and maybe a bit smaller.
If the Clie NX80v was made landscape with good keyboard, improved screen (Like C860/1000/3000's, maybe wider), add Wifi (Maybe bluetooth) and Linux, and you've pretty much got my perfect PDA. (I thought the UX50 was my dream PDA, until I had it and realised it was rubbish compared to the NX80v or Zaurus C860, but it was very small!).
The NX80v was Xscale based, so adding 400-600Mhz processor, bluetooth and Wifi would be fairly easy I guess. This PDA would not be cheap, but could probably cost a similar price to a C3000 if made in large enough quantities. If I had the money, and it was possible, I'd buy Sony's old Clie division and make a wikid cool PDA!
