I'm About Five Seconds Away On Buying A New Zaurus

[Hydraulix]

Just a couple questions before I make the purchase. I'm thinking of getting the sl-c3200.

Where can I get one for cheap with fast shipping?

What's the best wifi card?

Can I watch internet tv on it?

Can I listen to internet radio?

What else can I do with this device?



Sorry if these questions have been asked before. I'm just trying to get an update.

Where can I get one for cheap with fast shipping?

For sure, Pricejapan is the cheapest($586 shipped to USA) and fastest(2 business days).

What's the best wifi card?

The smallest, the cheapest and the one that requires less power is the Symbol Spectrum24($40 new on ebay) or the Socket one but they have a quiet short range and need little tweaks to work in monitor mode with PdaXrom(you just need to untar a file found on this forum).
The best supported card are the prism2 chipset based one.

Can I watch internet tv on it?

I don't think so

Can I listen to internet radio?

If I remember well it is possible

What else can I do with this device?

I'm told there is a shoutast program (it even has the word shoutcast in the name), but I haven't checked it out yet.

Can I listen to internet radio?

Hmmm. I thought that if I installed xmms I should be able to listen to live streams such as bassdrive.com. And internet tv is just streaming media. Opie Player 2 should be able to handle that, right?

I don't know about opie player 2 but with Kino2 on cacko I'm able to watch internet-tv and can also listen to streaming radio. I tried with xmms on my old SL5500 with OZ/Opie but somehow it was not able to play back live streams. But I don't know if this is fixed in recent OZ/xmms-versions.

Really?  Can you tell me how you do streaming audio on cacko/kino2?  which version of cacko?

I listen to internet radio just about every night using Shoutcast Player and Cacko 1.23 rom.
Do a search on the forums for Shoutcast and you'll find instructions.

I'm not as close to ordering as the thread founder, but hope to by month end.
I'm still wondering if a laptop might not be a better choice.

I'd like to use it to:

read PDF's - OK
View digital photos, slideshow  -OK
play music -OK
wireless websurfing -OK

can it also handle these additional wants?

write scripts (bash, perl,PHP)
Compile a usb kernel driver at OLS

I just save the playlist file somewhere, then I open it with Kino2. The direct loading of the playlist from the server via "Open URL" doesn't work, it has to be saved on Flash/Card. This is on Cacko-1.23-lite with Kino2-0.4.3c

thanks that did it!  I was using open URL as previously that was the only way I could get it to work.  I was also saving my playlist to hdd3, but I could definitely play it using the sd card.

for me the best wifi card was a prism 2.5/3 card which runs in hostap mode and therefore does WPA

mplayer, using kino2 as front end, will play internet radio - just open the URL mms://x.y.z/stream

I would *guess* it would play internet TV *IF* you can get the right codec. People have managed to set up a linux server to transcode video streams using VLC and stream them to the Z.
