What a coincidence, new Nokia smartphones will also contain TV out. They're getting more and more like each other...

There is nothing universal about it. They're as proprietary as you can get, except than you may license them. For a very nice fee *ahem*.

Perhaps you can show us the IEEE number of this 'standard' you are speculating about. Right, it doesn't exist. USB, BlueTooth, FireWire. Those are standards. Also with their own licensing fee, btw. So not open standards.

in other words, the ipod connector is whats called a "de-facto standard".

and yes, each time i read about some product or other that comes with a ipod dock or connection ability, i feel like going on a hulk rampage...

Maybe once I'm no longer employed I can be enticed into strengthening certain hints... :D

So, you'll send extra "hee hees" to tablet users who PayPal you fifty bucks?

LOL... no, I may be a *bit* more forthcoming about some old stuff for free. ;)

It's probably too late but let me add these for the record ( I already posted a long list before):

a) sensible ergonomics which on the n800 basically stinks, mainly buttons placement. While at it rethink the need for them, n800 has 12 hardware buttons, and 3 software ones on the desktop. iPhone has ONE (plus a power switch I believe) and their GUI works nicely, nokia's not so nicely.

b) accelerometer to sense the rotation and a desktop design able to switch from portrait and landscape mode.

You may do some reality check in the other thread.

looks like RX-51 will have even less buttons than N810, the ones on the top will probably stay (zoom, full screen,..) the two remaining ones on the body will go or move to the keyboard. This is a guess from keyboard mapping in kernel, no defined F4,F5,F8 keys = menu, home , zoom - (?).

There is one :-)

BTW, let this thread die and continue in the RX-51 one if you want to discuss real RX-51 features.

must have
  • TI OMAP 3440 core with working OpenGL drivers
  • transflective screen (mandatory!)
  • Similar or better battery life
  • at least 512Mo ram
  • Dual SD-card slots OR MORE
  • NO INTERNAL FLASH : Provide more SD Card slots and a SDCARD with the OS embedded (I would like 3 slots : internal (for the OS), 2 externals)
  • Communication extension slot (for some gsm modem using USB, or for GPS usb device)
  • 2 mini usb OTG with charging capability through usb

cool to have :
  • dual sceen with one on slider and one on top
  • a little wider screen (viewable area of about the size of a physical n800
