Drop Shift - Mechanical keyboards

After trying a cheaper TKL version of a mechanical keyboard from Amazon, which wasn't too bad. I found that I missed the number pad. I actually use it quite often.
After looking at all the options, I thought the DROP Shift looked like it was the best fit, and it was on sale.

Anyone else have this keyboard? What do you think of it?
I like the keys, build quality, and the built in USB port. If purchasing again I would probably get the version without LED.

Really solid kb. I know this because we work in the same office and I've used it before

Yeah, I've heard good things about it. The Xtrfy is also a good value for money option.

What's Win CE 5 Pro plus? Looks V3ed and as said Minority Report'd and something else...looks good but with ARM11 (no particular implementation named nor any clock speed given) and 1GB of Memory + full SD card usability, a TV out and WiBro, it sure as heck l ooks like an interesting device.
Interestingly enough two d pad layouts on the slide out keyboard so I hope the screen is sufficent for navigation.
It's also 1,000,000 times better looking than the Wizard, very sexy if you ask me.
Plus T-DMB for digital TV on the go, very nice indeed.
WVGA in a screen that small is hard to believe....
Still, very cool device. Much thinner than a Wizard. I'd buy one in a minute except for the fact that there's no d-pad unless you extend the kbd. Do you suppose d-pad functionality is somehow encompassed by the two buttons on the top and bottom? It almost looks like one does left-right and the other does up-down. I wonder how softkeys work.....
If they put a phone in it it would be worth a look at, who whats to carry two devices when you can have one, I think somebody forgot the phone part.
Looks trick though.

Not exactly; it seems designed for VoIP so I wouldn't exactly expect a GSM/CDMA/UMTS transciever in it. WiBro seems to be in there for that exact purpose.

iPhone screen on WinMo?

This sounds stupid but is it possible to hook up an OEM iPhone LCD screen http://cnn.cn/shop/apple-iphone-complete-digitizer-p-1863.html to a WinMo device? WinMo6 supports 480x320 correct?

Kind of like hooking up an external monitor to a laptop. Are the connectors the same? Just thought I'd ask. That would be sweet to hook up a iPhone screen to say a Touch board. Then duct tape them together. . Better yet dual screens! Haha.
nice idea !
cool idea, but you would need to write yourself a driver for the screen, unless WM6 is pornographically plug-n-play.
i've just replaced the lcd screen on my hx4700. they are not the same.
even between differen't ipaqs they are all different screen connectors.
fairly sure with the multitouch hardware it wouldn't be compatible without someone with alot of knowledge of this stuff to create something to make it work.
sorry to be a downer.
what would be a really cool idea though is if someone put iphone-on-ppc apps on their x50/x50v, then painted black over the buttons and labels (the DELL, A X I M, X50/X50V bits),
then added a little extension to the top of it to continue outer the silver edge around the whole screen.
then just add a compact flash card that you insert a sim card and it adds phone capabilities to it (i have such a card),
and you'd practically then have an unlocked iphone with a 3.7" vga screen and graphics accelerator, that is capable of running windows mobile aswell (if you want to).
i.e.
>>>
(note - my mspaint skills suck. it probably wouldn't look as bad in real life.)
Probably you would need the controller for the screen (chip) and other stuff... nice idea but not possible.

Great inexpensive Tilt/Kaiser case

Just FYI. I picked up a Cellet "NOBLET2" leather case for my Tilt at a local Fry's for $15.
EXCELLENT case, especially for the cost. Great belt clip. Magnetic closure. I'm really happy with it. If you're looking for an inexpensive case for your device, I recommend taking a look at this brand.
Happy Shopping!

Packaging looks like this:
If it is a magnetic case, can you check to see if the magnet is affect the phone in any way? I have seen mine going from portrait to landscape when I put a magnet next to the front of the phone. Who knows whatelse the magnet may trigger.
I haven't seen my case have any effect on the portrait/landscape mode of the phone. I always put the screen side towards my body, and almost always put the phone in the case while asleep.
I have a Cellet case like the one above (but with one central magnet) for my 8525 and have no issues with it.
Not only is this case inexpensive (got mine on e-bay), but it also looks and feel very good.
Highly recommended.
I had a problem with my MDa VARIO II which had a magneting closing. When I used the bluetooth headset people complained that they could hardly hear me and that there was a lot of static on the line. So If i were you avoid magnetic cases. I am extremely happy the my TyTn II came with the one with velcro closing
Ive only been able to find these online for like $25 plus shipping... anyone know where to get them on the cheap?

Japanese Privacy Screen Protector

Has anybody used these with a pressure sensitive touch screen device and the Touch Pro in particular?
I've never seen one in the US but they're all over the place in Japan. It like a screen protector but when viewed at an angle over ~30degrees from perpendicular the screen is unreadable or black, sometimes with a image on it.
This page shows how it works, the page is Japanese but there's pictures.

The difference is they're stiffer and thicker than the usual screen protector so I wonder how well the pressure sensitive screens like the Touch Pro work. Since the pressure sensitivity is adjustable they might still work good anyway.
There's a Touch Pro specific one for sale here for $8 so I'd think that means it works decently.

And the next question is can anybody in Japan order these up for us? Maybe expansys can buy them in bulk and resell them to us?
I am sure this is nice especially in Japan where it would be annoying to have someone constantly trying to look at your screen so they could watch you weird cartoon pr0n.
Nice find... very nice. I'll try to get a few. You can as well go request this in Dealextreme... if the demand is high, they will consider of getting it listed.
Nice one, I will have a look at the shop on the way home tonight and see how they perform.
Pocketsolutions has them, just not for the fuze yet.

Iphone size could be trimmed to fit.

When I see this (bottom hot buttons) on people's phones, what is it? Does it work like the HC/ICS buttons with previews and whatnot?
Thanks.

They work the same way as our iconia buttons. Just different images is all. You'll find these on "theme'd" roms for tabs and phones alike. Some phones, like my HTC Desire, have real buttons. Other's, like HTC Desire S have capacitive buttons (images) like our tab.
Hi , Moscow.
Yes, I thought the buttons looked functional, but was curious. I would love to find a ROM with these buttons. it would actually be less wear and tear on my physical buttons...
It takes up valuable screen space to have the buttons on most cell phones.. Unless you have a 4.6 inch screen . nearly a tablet with a modem not a cell phone..
My cell is small sleek and i can put it in the tiny pockets on my Jeans .I love the hardware buttons. Get insurance on your phone. what 3.00 a month to insure if it messes up you get a new one for nearly nothing..
But we all have our own taste and opinions yours is equally as valuable as mine. Thou i like mine better..
i do need a new cell phone thou.Was considering buying something and flashing it over to Cricket Wireless most of there phones are not so great. .
Thanks for hearing my comments..
i been using honeylicous found in development here, it has these themed buttons, like it better than stock, nice slick design.
Nice, thanks for the replies everyone!
