I'll jot my name down in the "interested" column :)

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

Craves1, are you planning 1 or 2 sd slots?

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

Just one slot for now. I am not sure if the Tablet would support more than one slot. I already spoke to my engineer to see if it is hardware possible even if the Tablet does not support it yet in software.

I am not a linux software person but if there are great interest I can make the hardware for many devices for the N810. Then maybe others will write the software for them to control the tablet in many ways.

The interface for other devices will be made in the near future.
A IR receives and Transmitter and a tilt sensor are just a few products comming for the tablet.

I will keep you updated.

For those who are interested I received the first set of production parts and all works fine. I am now waiting for the replacement door samples. I then have to decide what colors to offer the cover in and everything will be completed.

I am testing it now with th 16GB class 6 SD card. SO far it is much better and faster then with the 8GB Mini SD class 4.

When saving programs in Xournal the folder on the card where I store all my notes comes up more than 3 times faster.

Thanks All

I imagine offering the cover in a single color will be most cost effective. My vote would be to replicate the original color as closely as possible.

BTW, I proposed an idea like this back in March 08, just after I got my tablet. This is what I wrote:

"I had thought about a ribon cable, like you see on printer carriages (sp?) but from the MiniSD card slot. Using a MiniSD adapter, pulled apart, and the ribon cable soldered on and then terminating to a standard SD card reader, somehow fixed on the back (the guts are relatively slim). This was also to allow the stand to work but enable a standard SD card to be used."

My thought was to put the SD slot on the outside but your implementation is much better. I look forward to the finished result.

Different colors does not add anything to the cost of production. One of the colors would be close to the original color. I am also leaning towards a shiny black color. I will receive color samples next week.

Thanks

Sign me up as interested. :D

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

Craves1 is it possible to add another sdhc card slot to n800? Also could you add IR and tilt to n800? I'm just waiting for n900. Would it be possible to add sim card? I use pay as you go sim card where ever I travel. I don't care about cost. Send me pm. Thanks

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

I absolutely would pay for an "internal SD slot". I'd been trying to figure out ways to create one myself off of the external USB port (ha!), and this sounds like it would be much much nicer.

Throw in a tilt sensor and I will worship you forever. :D

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

There are only two SD/MMC interfaces inside N8x0 and both are used. For N810, one is used for builtin 2GB storage. Easiest way to add third slot is perhaps only via some tiny usb card reader (which is pretty cumbersome solution).

Re: 32GB SD adapter For N810
 

The 2 slot in the N800 I think is enough due to the fact that the battery life would be decreased if anything else is added.
I can add a tilt sensor and IR to the N800 as well but I do not think enough people would want it for this tablet to make it cost effective. I would have to make another cover for the back of the N800 also and this would be expensive. I was however considering it before I received the N810 because I wanted to add a keyboard and Flash memory to the N800.

I also wanted the back cover of the N800 to be metal so I could use the magnetic cover without adding the metal pieces to the back.
If I thought enough people wanted it I could make an adapter to add Flash memory, Tilt sensor, and IR to the n800.

Most of All I think the N800 would make great a infrared remote like the ones that sell for $1500 but I would need the community to make the software interface to it.

I will be making some prototypes for this in the near future and if everything works the way I think it will, I will then wait for a response from the community with the software ideas and if they would want it.

Thanks all
