I know the Kaiser is not out yet, and I know for fact that I will be one of the first buyers, because the Kaiser simply rocks
But lets face it! what do you guys think is missing in the Kaiser (tytn II), and makes you wish to have in the upcoming successor (tytn III maybe)
for me, this is my wish list:
1- SiRFIII not A-GPS (SiRFIII seems more sensitive, A-GPS takes too much time for initial fix based on my experience with the Trinity)
2- A built-in flash for the camera for night shots (5 MP would be nice also)
3- VGA screen (this will soon become a standard in all devices i think)
4- Blending the screen edges or level with the device body in a manner similar to the HTC touch and enabling the Touch-Cube
5- FM Tuner
hmmmmmmm not so important also but would be nice to have a 3.5mm or 2.5mm jack for stereo headphones and not being restricted to the mini-usb.....
For me, I would like to see the following:
1. VGA output via USB (for connecting to a data projector)
2. Support mobile TV standard like DVB-H
3. A flash light like that in Hermes, so that I can use it as a torch at night.
well I already said im getting one to replace my ill fated 8125. But here is a short list I would have loved to see this phone have but sizewise no way it would of fit in.
Fm radio
Video out
VGA screen
sterio speakers
A flash
standard headphone jack
Built in HD of 4+ gb (apple has more then proven it can be done so do it)
GPU of the GeForce flavor
A cdma chip to match its GMS set up make it a true world phone
Higher res cam 3.0 is nice but still fairly weak
Toss those into the bad boy and well yea it would be just kick ass.
+4gb HD
+1GB Ram
VGA
TV tuner
FM tuner
+1ghz processor
multitouch screen
very bright xeon flash.
IR port. (for using as a remote for my TV)
+6mp camera (even tho it already has a good camera)
Louder, clearer, stereo speakers with bass.
I only want a VGA screen!!
Why have a 4G HD when you can have a 4G or more micro SD card. MicroSD consumes less power and easy to move around and replace. With a HD, you are stuck with what it is. No upgradability.
And for the camera, it is the marketing people who want us to believe more pixels equate better photos. What we really need is a good quality lens and CMOS sensor. That is what makes good photo. My Canon Powershot S30 (3 mega pixels) produces much better photos to the many 6 or more M pixels photos from other cameras.
vga screen and tv out. nothing else..

I agree ... big time agree
Phone manufacturers are fooling all of u with the pixel game... they dont talk much about sensor and lense because they know what the result will show.... not to mention the zoom .... one excuse in the past that cell phones have no optical zooms because it will make the phone bulky ... well this is maybe true in the past ... but one look at sony's new cybershots DSC-t100 for example will tell you that everthing now is changed
My wish list would be:-
FM Radio
3.5mm audio jack
VGA toughened touch Screen which is also flush to make it easy to clean
Camera flash which doubles as torch
Infrared (I know it's a bit obsolete but I currently use IR on Vario 2 (hermes) as my TV and Sky remote )
Don't want much do I
Oh yea Nicky flush screen is a good one.
The Hermes suffers from screen misalignment mainly because of the dusts getting into the sides!
But the Kaiser should have a 3.5mm audio jack via an adaptor cable like the Hermes.
my dream is a kaiser exactly like it is now.....
but with a weight of 120 max 130 grams
1. FM Tuner
2. 3.5mm "standard" audio-out port
3. VGA Screen
4. Few mms thinner and narrower!
my wish list for the Kaiser II
VGA screen
Multi touch screen ala Iphone
3.5mm head phone socket
USB host
IR which will operate TV etc accross a room
Battery life of a Nokia 6310
Wake from standby on receipt of SMS, MMS, Email, IM
Webcam functionality
Network share folder
Camera flash
Reliable alarm
Decent carrier supplied ROM.
Twin sim slots
Ability to multitask eg. TomTom, MediaPlayer, IM and phone call simultaneously.
Oh and I want it to weigh next to nothing, be droppable without scratching and to survive being dropped in water.

lol The water one is a good one, I have lost two phones now by accidentally dropping them in water .. whoops
Sounds like you might be a little unlucky with your current phone though because my Vario 2 (Hermes) already has a reliable alarm (albeit with 3rd party software) and has no problem waking for SMS, IM etc... it isn't too bad on the multi-tasking front either .. ie. media player and Tomtom running simultaneously and streaming all via A2DP to my headset .. didn't think that was too bad going although an incoming call can throw a spanner in the works sometimes

well let me rephrase what i ment.
6mo Cmos Camera. the same quality as the kaiser but higher resolution.
and for the HD, yes i thought about that, but ROM is much faster than a storage card usually. so actually i'd like 1-4gb of Rom.
I only want
* decent quality finish (it should not peel off in two weeks)
* for christ's shake, ANTI REFLECTIVE SCREEN
the rest is okay.
Many have asked for 3.5mm audio plug for Kaiser for use with headphones. I think I have read somewhere that audio coming out from the USB port would be much cleaner than the 3.5 mm analog audio port. Reason is the USB port is digital so there is no need for the digital to analog conversion. Hence the USB headphones are in general preferred over the analog headphone if audio quality if a prime consideration.

I didn't think an anti-reflective coating was possible for a transflective screen??

yes, it is. i had heard an dread the same. which is why i want the usb audio port. i remember the 2.5 and 3.5mm slots would break or get stuck, but usb would not do that. plus it would be much faster, no need to wait for it to switch profiles and lag your phone.
I have the video out cable for my Dinc and It works very well, but I can't figure out a way to disable the main phone screen while I am using the TV out cable. I use it quite a bit on flights as I have some MyVu video glasses that let me watch movies on them. The issue is that the battery is being depleted very quickly due to havign the main screen on even though I am not watching it.
Is there an app or setting that will toggle the main screen on or off, or let the screen sleep without stopping the video playback like when you hit the top sleep button as long as the video out cable is plugged in?
I have noticed that compare to the on computer content such as youtube. especially like androidauthority youtube video. I noticed that on YouTube their bottom right conner icon has more blank space. However when I cast from youtube to my TV. I noticed that the video is a bit cut off, not a big deal, but just a bit cut off. Anyone see this too? My TV is an Old Philips 32 inches from at least 4 years back, but surprise has HDMI-CEC
It's overscan, try to turn that setting off it has it.
Tried searching everywhere for a my problem. Just bought the CC over the weekend. Brought it home, set it up and everything worked great. However, after watching a few movies via Googel cast on Chrome using the yellow video player, I noticed the screen would dim down in low light scenes and brighten back up in brighter scenes. Same scenario with Plex, Youtube, and Netflix. Anyone else have this issue?

That's nothing to do with Chromecast. That's your TVs "feature" called Dynamic Contrast (or similar marketing name). It is probably enabled on HDMI input you are using Chromecast on.
Re: Chromecast fluctuating Brightness
I have a brand new Chromecast device and I am having brightness issues myself but think it is the fact that I have a cheap import TV. overall casting is always much darker than on my pc on all 3 HDMI ports and my TV has no Dynamic Contrast setting. It does have a dynamic color setting but all that does is add vibrance and sharpness and I leave that off as it makes movies look unnatural.
Even when I cast from my Phone or Tablet the image is darker and there are blues in the darker areas making the image beyond ugly if I turn up the brightness/contrast on my TV.
I hope I can get the cash together for a more expensive TV as I think it is the only way to get a decent image when casting. It would be good if the chromecast extension and the chromecast app had a brightness/contrast/gamma settings in their options to counteract this glitch on cheaper TV's (and cheaper than a new TV)
P.s. Sorry for necroing but this post shows that brightness issues are still happening to this day.
Is it normal for a television to make the text look weird? Like hard to read and stuff. Maybe there are not enough pixels per inch?
I'm using my laptop's (Dell Latitude e6320) mini HDMI port to hook up to my 42" LG TV http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-42LB5600-42-Inch-1080p/dp/B00KVLT0A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1419899716&sr=1-1&keywords=Led+tv
The resolution is set to 1920x1080 and although things seem fairly sharp the text is still hard to read. I am fairly close to my TV as well (maybe 4-5 feet). Is a TV just not supposed to work for reading small text?
It's a 1080p TV so I'm expecting the text to be sharp and easy to read...
You're not supposed to be sitting 1.5m (5ft) from a 42" TV... They're not designed for that.
A 42" 1080p TV has an effective DPI of 48. A monitor has 72. High quality print is 300+.
If you want to read text on a TV that close, you'll need at least a 4K TV.
As @ShadowLea says. TV's are not designed for that stuff. Even with 4K it sometimes looks weird from close distance. I can tell that from my own experience with a Samsung curved 55 inch.
