Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one that does that. :)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

iTunes integration.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Think bigger! iPhone App Store integration (via iPhone OS emulation layer)!

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

eeks who the hell would want itunes integration?

Drag and drop > itunes...

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I rekon this is the future of mobile computing! Screens are everywhere & your computer is in your pocket (but limited by screen size for serious computing)! Connect and compute. And the connection oughta be wireless...USB, BT,WiFi, et al. Initially I suppose with a dongle on the screen side. Nokia have been workin on summit lyk this...but cant remember where i saw it!

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

@qole: most media remotes are targeted for dark room operation though.. you wouldn't want to be blinded by your remote ;)

@sachin: you can do drag&drop operations on itunes as well, but the reason that many other media managers copy itunes is the additional functoins it provide.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Shyah! It's the best and brightest I have. The cell does okay, the BB better, but a nice browser homepage on the N800 for preventing toe damage after leaving the desktop- no need for an LED keychain. Good thing there isn't a 120v 2-prong plug on the tablet or I'd buy a 6-pack o' NITs and use them around the house. I jest...don't I?

I doubt the new device will have IR of any sort, but that'd be my pick for an Easter egg choice. If NFC would have significant value in our lives in the "right now", I'd be up for that too. Last I checked no magical NFC grocery store opened up near me.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Oh ok.. but my first experience was very bad. I was trying to add some songs from my laptop into a friend's ipod and it said that it had to sync the ipod to my laptop..... which meant that all the songs in the ipod would be replaced by the songs in my laptop. I was surprised and assumed that there would be some other way to just add a few of my songs... i was so frustrated that i swore i will never use it again.!

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Looking through the pictures I would like to add 2 more things that could be cool easter eggs: a return of the fm reviser for auto tuning the fm transmitter, and thermal sensitive back and menu button.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Well, Sachin probably meant drag and drop without any needs of itunes or similar such software.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Contactless/inductive charging would be great - particularly as the RX-51 will probably need charging every day.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Nice for a start I guess. We'll see some more Nokia developed apps in the future, I hope. Not that many on previous tablets.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Even with a simple TV-out as already exists on N-series phones, it would be a great thing, if one could change the screen resolution, which should not be a big problem, since there will be a proper graphics driver this time. This really sounds too good to be true :D

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

The N900 also have TV-Out with cable...

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Must have overlooked it then. But in that case it would be necessary to be able to change the resolution to suit the external display. Or even better have a possibility of a dual display of some sort.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I never suggested that it should have IrDA... :B Of course it should be spec'ed for using as a remote. That Nokia was.

Personally I have passed on the Harmony One, because of the lack of hardware colour keys. I have the 525.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Omg, that would totally rock. Imagine me, bored while waiting to go home at the horses grazing lands. Running around, waving that thing. The horses would totally go WTF. Not to mention the stable girls.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

+1

Also, touch screens on a remote doesn't work quite that well if you live with someone who will sit on the damned thing to hog it.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

A person that's actually bought music perhaps?

Drag and drop is much inferior, time consuming. I'm not as OCD as I was while younger. Or when I had more time to hand type everything in, either.

So either iTunes or Zune integration. I have both. The rest... have fun typing.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Quite funny how just a few moments of reading would have remedied that bad experience.

When in doubt, use Yamipod if you're synchronizing with a machine that's not yours.

I'm not singling you out, sachin007, I just find it somewhat laughable that people just really chalk up their bad experiences as something universal. It's not. Just a moment of research and a ton of these situations could be avoided.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Bad experiences with itunes is not universal, but it is common.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

So are bad experiences with: MS Windows, Apple OS X, Linux, zippers, popcorn and puppy dogs.

Not having an informed approach to any of the above can prove to be problematic for anybody.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

When my sister got an iPod, there was no printed information with it. She did not understand why it could not do what all her other music players could do - just connect and then transfer music.

I bought a box of Milk Duds the other day and boy was I angry when all of that caramel got stuck in my teeth.

iTunes annihilation

Hell.. I have bad experiences just using this forum to wr!+3_m7ds8boihclfhlsd

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Back to the remote control talk.

For sh*ts and giggles I ported my stuff to the iPod touch. Nothing has been the same since the removal of the d-pad, but it works fine. Here's a screen shot:

Attachment 3964

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

How about a second level of pull-out keyboard (i.e. a double-decker keyboard) comes out from beneath the keyboard adding a couple more rows of keys and a D-pad.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

The FM transceiver can be switched to NFM in the 2m ham band -- good for phone and various data modes, but especially APRS. There's an SMB jack under one of the covers somewhere, so you can hook up an external antenna and maybe an amplifier.

(FWIW, ham transmitters, unlike transmitters for most (all?) other services, don't need to be certified with the FCC -- the only "proof" that this isn't it is the absence of support in the public datasheets. But maybe Nokia has commissioned a super-secret variant with extended range...)

Seriously, while I'm well aware of the practical issues preventing a future tablet from having interchangeable/optional radio modules, it would be incredibly awesome. Hams could have 2m, 1.25m, and/or 70cm cards, and non-hams could go for FRS/LPD433/PMR446 cards.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Uh... since when does anyone need to do any typing when dragging and dropping? wtf

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Good idea. That would also provide space for all the other characters I use regularly, especially French and Turkish characters.

Plus, two keyboards could be folded to form a hard cover... :D

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Has inductive charging been mentioned yet?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

No, but I still want to understand how "drag and drop" means "a lot of typing" to you.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

well peter has already confirmed that it doesn't have a 3D holographic projector :-(

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Easy to solve just need a taser expansion pack?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Hmm, if you screw it open, there is a second SIM card compartment hidden. Once you open it you find fridged LSD blotter saying "made in Berkeley".

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Bah, even my N800 had that. (Bad video is still bad.)


EDIT: Link updated. Thanks, ColdFusion! I didn't know YouTube allowed linking to specific points on timelines now. Is keen, though what happened to SMIL...

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

try deep linking ;)

Even with Nokia build quality, this would still be useful:

Sadly, my child has been conditioned to be drawn to my tablet the way yours were drawn to the laptop in your video. Now, when I pull it out on a canoe trip to check that the GPS is on, my daughter calls, "Daddy, can I watch something?"
