New SD Camera Available... and it works!

We just got our first batch of SD cameras for the XDA PocketPC phone and it sold out fast!
We will receive another batch before the end of the month, so you may want to order one today before those are gone too.
With this SD camera YOU DON'T NEED SDIO, so it works perfectly with the XDA. You can even record video!

i'm having a little problem with it tho...
it dont seem to stay secured in the slot!
a regular sd card locks-in, but IT slides right out, even
after u here that little click, when u push it in.
any idea why?
other than that, its very nice!
i hope they make a 1.3/2.1 mp soon

UK sources
I see that you do export. I am in the UK. Just trying to match up the price to work out feasability. Looks expensive.
US$80 -Camera
Shipping ? $20?
Taxes VAT + duty
BP£90 ??

I was almost considering ordering one of these, but the camera has no flash, which is the problem with a lot of the camera phones.
A friend pointed out if I were to spend $80 for it, I might as well put in a little bit more money and get a cheap digital camera.
Basic line is this. Camera phones are finally evolving and new ones come with a flash. To be honest, you REALLY need a flash with these things.

I just saw a tiny camera at Fry's that does video, 1MP stills, has flash, and a built-in display LCD. $90. Might as well just get that and swap the card into the XDA if you want to copy/send photos. This camera is too little for too much. It's too big to really be any particular space saver. Is it even safe to carry around in the device all the time (couldn't it release and fall out if bumped)?

i have one of these, paid £59 from ebay, but it doesnt lock into the sd slot. any advice on making it stay in or it will get lost.

Smallboy... why not try the bodger's favourite... a small wodge of "blue tac"! - this works for me for my tom-tom car cradle (along with a couple of screws at the bottom of the cradle)
Theoretically you could place the blue tac between the xda body and camera, which would give it some "grip" but yet easily removable.

not a bad idea m8, but i use the sd slot with a 256mb card for my navigator maps and mp3's

SD camera for XDA
Where can I buy it ? Datanywhere has teamed up with Expansys !

Memory Stick to SD/MMC adapter?

Is there an adapter for Memory stick to SD/MMC slot so I can use my memory stick to used with my MDA II?
Is there a product like this?(Memory Stick convert to SD/MMC slot)

Thanks! :lol: But I already know that... What I want is just Memory stick to SD/MMC slot I dont want to add backpack just to use my memory stick.
Then I guess no such thing exist huh!?

I also tried searching on the Net but found nothing... Hmmm.. too bad..

Thanks for all your help mate... I guess we just need to wait and hope some manufacturer will come up with what we want.

...or XDAIII will have CF Slot! :lol:
P.S. ( If Anyone knows a cheap SD card seller in Europe, please be so kind and let me know - Here in SLovenia are they just 2 Expensive :roll: )
Regards!! :wink:
Dejan

Yes - I think they should design the upcoming XDA with mutiple memory slots (CF, SD, MMC, MS etc).. Good idea!

LOL... But that sucks if we need to wait for XDA/MDAIII to used different types of memory cards. It means we need to spent another thousand bucks(closed to) to have it. :lol:

well the backpack is not that expensive
of cause one can not always be sure that
using a converter like the backpack to get CF
to use a converter to get MS would work 100%
there will only be such a product as a ms to sd if there was a high enough demand for it
i doubt there is
is it not only sony who use ms ?
sd seem imho to become the std like CF was which is getting old and will prob be outfased in 2 years or something

I guess you're right CF will be faced out in a few years, SD might be the next standard BUT micro drive still using CF isn't it? So I guess there are still some debate on that huh!
I also read somewhere that mini-SD is also coming out soon. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happened in the few years. :roll: :lol:

Belive me - You don't want to have XDAIII with CF slot. Just look at Your precious XDA or XDAII close to Your face during a phone call and imagine it 20% biger and 50g havier. Even now it's way too big as a phone especially that summer is comming and I have totaly no idea how to carry it without all those winter clothes, deep ass hell pockets
Best idea I can imagine is USB port in host mode - I've got HDD 9mm (from laptop computer) in aluminium case connected via USB interface. Imagine U can have 40GB in another pocket to carry all those xxx movies LOL.

U got a Hdd connected via usb- is that right? Can you transfer files? Is it a simple laptop drive enclosure u got? Let me know bruv- I wanna hook it up...

which mean that he would like xda3 to support host mode because xda2 dont, so unless his external disk is defect then he can transfer files from his pc not his ppc
if 9mm mean 2.5" laptop hd then i have this case (it's still empty but i will get a fujitcu or seagate 2.5" disk for it soon)
http://www.starkingtech.com/@PRDCT/TT945.htm
it have both firewire and usb2 connecting options
and i will of cause use firewire since irl it's faster then usb2
but it's nice that it have usb2 aswell because far from all computers have firewire yet and usb2 is backward compatible with usb1.1

Will this work with MDA2/XDA2?

It has nothing to do with UR device. U can ask if this reader will work with your SD card (of course it will ) but there is no way to connect XDA to it directly ROTFL.

Here in the US, I'm seeing 256MB SD cards for $30 now, and the high-speed cards for $40.
If that's a lot less than what you pay there, I'd be happy to post one to you. It costs $5 to send something that small to Europe, and it arrives in 4-7 days.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Camera Connection Kit

wow...is it really on the market? but looking the connector head kinda rare to find with the camera connector slot?

This thing can only be found at expansys webpages. Not even Samsung has it. So I wount give 2 much 2 it. Greetings Ottschke
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

Where I can find this item? I'm looking forward to buy it. Is there anyone who already has and working?

So what does this actually do?

What it does is allow you to put an SD card from your camera into one end and then connect the other end to the tab. This would allow you to move files back and forth, hence the name Camera Connection Kit.
BUT this product is vaporware because the tab is not a USB host. This thing will never exist and never did exist. It is something that the iPad has and perhaps a optimistic marketer either at Samsung or Expansys slapped a Samsung logo on a pic of the iPad dongle because they expected it to be released.
There are a few other solutions to getting pix from your camera to the tab, none are elegant and some are expensive.
1) Remove your MicroSD from your tab and insert it into a SD card adapter and then insert into your camera. This is cheap but is a pain and the microsd can get hosed if you do not carefully mount it and dismount it when reinserting or removing.
2) Root your tab, buy an Eye Fi X2 Pro card for your camera, install Android Tether for root users and use the card to wifi transfer to your tab, using Eye-Fi Server for Android OS or Fe-Fi or MoPhotos from the Android market
3) Root your phone, remove your microsd, use mobidapter (USB to microSD dongle) and then use root explorer to transfer pics to you internal SD card.

in other words, tab is not gadget to work with camera becaused of this connector issued

darn....... why does all this camera kits stuff have to be in SD Card Format???? My camera only supports CF cards..... and a lot of those mid to high end DSLR used CF.

response from expansys
Expansys inform me before 4 hours that the specific item has remove from the products list!!!!
What can i say?

Honestly... you probably don't want to use your tablet for DSLR photos anyway.
Besides the fact that RAW images are large files (~20-30MB) and huge resolutions (18 Megapixel) that no tablet can adequately handle... there is no way to calibrate the screens or make or convert RAWs on a tablet.
I would use a point-and-shoot camera with a microSD card inside a SD adapter.
Tablets are supposed to be about putting small size and mobility foremost over wide functionality or productivity.

would the current usb kit for the 10.1 work on the p1000?

How does the viewsonic gtab have usb host on 2.2¿
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

Because Viewsonic customized the rom and added it in.

so it becomes a software problem?
i thought there are hacks to enable it on 2.2/2.3 too?

it was possible to inject 2.1 with host mode, many cheap tablets did it. However the p1000 is missing the host protocol on-chip so cannot do the required functions like power regulations etc. So tis more of a no hardware than a software problem.

my thoughts are the usb chip doesn't have ability to control unit to socket power, hence why anything that requires a fair number of volts wont work (memcard reader, mouse, thumbdrive etc)
And I have a few 2.1 tablets with USB host, and a 2.2 tablet with usb host (Scroll and some other weird make).
So not sure what is not correct here? If you have info that rebuts this please share?

ziggary said:

I would very much like to be wrong on this, but all of my development and rough research along with the fact there are no volt dependent accessories for the tab7 lead me to conclude that it doesn't do it!
The reason I want to be wrong is that I have a few tabs here and want them to be the product of choice for a project I'm doing, the limiting factor is usb host, I would really want it for 2 hardware accessories, but I found only evidence that the chip that controls the in-socket and the onboard controller do not have ability to play with voltage to the socket thus can never accept any accessory that requires above the base voltage of the board.
Again I REALLY WANT TO BE WRONG here
Let me know if you have any info to say thats wrong please please please !

FareBot (app that reads RFID transit cards) updated for Android 2.3.3

Hi everyone!
FareBot is an Android app that can read data from public transit RFID cards using the Nexus S' NFC radio. It currently supports Seattle's ORCA card but I hope to add support for other cards as well in the future. See my blog post with more information.
I just updated it to work with Android 2.3.3, so if you're looking for more things to do with your phone's NFC radio, check it out in the market!
The source code is at http://github.com/codebutler/farebot

if we can read, can we re write. It think free bus is coming in soon

At my office we use a rfid card to enter the building and such. How hard would it be to be able to make my phone work as my card? Can that even be done?

Sticky tape the card to back of your phone?

I've been thinking the same thing. We use Mifare Classic 1K cards. I actually have access to the card writer too. Surely its now possible to write the card to the device?

The NFC of the Nexus S can read my student card with a show "unknown tag type"^_^
Just funny to play with this~but it can't read out the Chinese Public Transportation Card~Maybe these two are just different~~
Anyway, NFC may still be a far-away toy here in China~But it's fun, really~

The chip in the Nexus S supports card emulation so this should be technically possible. It's something I'd like to look into, but I don't have any physical access control hardware.

Have you tried reading your student card with FareBot? It should at least tell you the type.

RFID,ISO14443A,ISO14443B,ISO15693,contactless reader/writer,Mifare
Jinmuyu solves your RFID problems by offering RFID Reader,MIfare Card,RFID Tags and

irrelevant....are you trying to sell here? we're talking about Android Apps.
@marsrogers & whoever in China
The following apps can read the China transport card, I've tested for Beijing Yikatong (pls. note the newer card not the old one) & Hongkong Octopus card.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sharemore.nfc.transport&feature=search_result

so i dont get it what your saying is you can read the card to see your left over balance or are you saying i can pay with my phone?

I can read the balance left in the card, it's very convenient rather than going to the nearest subway or bus station only to find out out what's left in the card.

Can you please add feature to emulate the written card?

I want to see card emulation happen too, so

storage options

hey everyone! I've been looking to buy a nexus 7 but the lack of expandable memory is making it hard to justify buying and the fact that the biggest option is 16GB of internal storage (13GB available).
Now I'm still going to buy it just because i cant resist but does anyone think there is a way I could actually replace the internal SD card with my own larger one? i ask this because I have seen in a few phones that the internal storage is nothing more than a regular SD card.
anyways it would be great if anyone has any ideas or if you really think cloud storage is just fine let me know

Being totally unqualified to comment (but that has never stopped me),
you would be silly buying a Nexus 7 with the idea of replacing the internal SD card yourself.
Maybe a teardown will reveal a standard SD card socket - but I highly doubt it.
Sockets cost a lot more than a surface mount device, and you really don't want to go there. Even if you are able to replace the SD card, the boot rom is likely to have an idea as to the size and format of the SD - and you can't change that.

Not many people can answer your question now since not many have them. We will have to wait for IFixIt to break one down. There are stories on people replacing the sdcard chip with a larger one via soldering but we won't know for sure until someone opens one up.
At it's current infant stage, best storage option is to use an OTG cable & sdcard.
Also, need to wait to see if dev's are able to improve anything.
Can't comment on cloud storage because you need to tell us what type of user you are: gamer, video watcher, etc....
I'm a gamer & the best way for me to to backup Android folder & remove game files that I'm currently not playing. When I do play that game, I transfer back the game files to Android folder.
Basically you have to manage your storage space. Also need to factor in storage for nandroids.
I'll say 16gb is enough if you manage your space: backup files & transferring them back when needed, etc.

Transcend storejet cloud 64gb wireless ssd hard drive is $99.00 on amazon. Small enough for put in your pocket, 5-6 hrs battery. I can put link here, cause i'm newbie lol.
or

or
Maxell AirStash flash drive: good battery, but it's very exspensive.

Cloud only works for multimedia. It doesn't work for games/apps that take up space. Games (non-casual) can get pretty big. Ditto for some apps, eg Google Maps offline caching. One solution,
