I looked around at ways to get more use out of my tilt and found the redfly Item it connects to the tilt via usb and gives you an 8 inch screen and a bigger keyboard and even a touch pad and VGA output that got me thinking "My Axim had a VGA adapter" so I started looking and found this Item http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2006/11/pda_mod_vga_rs2.html has anyone seen what would be best called a "docking Port" for the TILT?
Also considering switching out my 8925 to a Athena or a Shift? Might even trade my tilt I just need a bigger screen and VGA its hard to remote desktop on QVGA.
i'd just get a netbook and be done with it.
yeah and then use ICS with the netbook. I have a dell mini 9 and love it when it's mated to my tilt
@ChumleyEX: "ICS"?
A netbook + smartphone combi... Say, didn't Palm think of this before, and the concept failed?
internet connection sharing
Yar, this is definitly not fail. I can surf from ubuntu or windows just about anywhere with a larger screen, plus you can bluetooth your GPS to the notebook, share movies. It's pretty nice.

Hi
I am thinking to get either Kaiser or Athena for my next mobile phone. I don't care if it is bulky. I just want something that I can connect it to my LCD computer screen. I am wonder if a new Kaiser have that options? I know Athena can do that with their accescories 4 in 1 cable.
Any input? Thanks in advance.
not directly through your hardware but you can get pocket controller and have an emulated version of your tytn II show on your computers display and use all the functions using your keyboard and mouse

Here's a free emulator that works great:

Thanks for the info. Do you know also the programs that I can use for presentation or connecting my PDA to projector.
It looks like RedFly has drivers to communicate video and keyboard through the USB port!!
I bet these drivers could be used for any computer, such as the Asus EEE - with a bit of work at first, of course.
I've always wanted a large screen for my WinMo, and it looks like it is on the way!
is this as we have got?
there must be someone out there that can turn a eee pc into a redfly clone
eagerly waiting for such a WinMo driver, (linux or windows on the EEE side), that allows using the EEE screen at native resolution ,for buying an EEE.
I want it!!!
redfly: really good idea, but not at that price point!
redlfy price is a little high
I'm hoping to have one in the next week or 2, i will post a review.
FYI - the video appears on redfly in native resolution (i.e. the resolution of the tilt" and works both via USB and Bluetooth

I may be wrong, But my understanding is that video appears on redfly at 800*480, not at native tilt qvga 320*240.
So, redfly soft to be installed in PDA must have something similar to RealVGA, a proggie that changes Windows Mobile resolution,
I´d be happy having on the EEE a 640*480 piece of screen real state for Mindows Mobile remote screen ( with real crisp VGA, not just upscaled QVGA!) and the remainin screen real state for underlying linux/windows desktop

i wish it were true - there is upscaling for regular programs email even web browsing but for video - it plays native 320.240 this has been confirmed in the reviews so far of the unit
but like i said hopefully i will be able to show you - i expect to hear by thursday if one is shipping to me soon
The Redfly has a software that has to be installed on the phone to make it bigger and better quality, however it doesn't work for video playback. Plus I found out it doesn't work with Skyfire Browser.

Thanks for sharing the info. Then redfly is a no-no because I can get a similar size,fully capable, PC (EEE) for much less money, and use either SOTI or Mymobiler with a 2x Zoom factor.
Next step would be using Kaiser as a SideShow device for EEE:
funny:using the PC for controlling the Kaiser, and using the Kaiser for controlling the PC!
LOL!!!!

it better work with opera or thats a deal killer
Posted using my Redfly and Opera Mini...
So the Redfly experience so far is good. Not great, but good. This is a new product so inevitably it should get better provided Celio (mfg'r) listens to user communities like XDA.
Pros -
Instant On
Instant Connect with USB and BlueTooth
Usable Screen Size/Experience
Usable Web Browsing
Keyboard Controls (Alt-Tab, Windows Key, Function Keys)
Size for Experience
Light Weight
Long Battery Life
Cons -
Does not replace a full fledged PC (if you're expecting that)
Amplifies limitations of WinMo outside of its native form factor (I'm running Sleuth 6.1 on a TyTN II)
No Video/Audio playback on the device
If you're looking for a full fledged PC experience out of this, its not going to happen. IMHO given natural progression of technology and improvements in WinMo devices (SW and HW) this could take the place of a laptop eventually.
For those looking at this vs an EEE or something similar, I'd like t see them put the PC up to their ear to take a phone call, also your still carrying two devices which are mutually exclusive vs a single device with an auxiliary piece of hardare that enhances the experience of the core device (only when needed).
I have a apple bluetooth keyboard to use for my laptop and love it. But I would love to get it working on my Tilt as well. It's the version with out the number pad, so it's very small, thin and light, perfect for a portable key board to take to class in my book bag and take notes with onto my Tilt.
This youtube user got it to work but he's posted in another language and has not responded to my messages.

When you pair it with the tilt, it works but shows up as a input device and does not "work" when you go to type or use the keyboard...but it shows up as a paired device on the bluetooth manager...but then again so does my bluetooth mouse, but I knew that would not work ( and I really wish it would because I would use it...I'm a geek I confess)
Honestly if I could get the key board and mouse to work, all I would need is VGA or video out and I'd use my Tilt as my home desktop...because it has all the office programs I need. That's the reason I was very disappointed when I found out the HTC Shift would not have a full version of WM6 on it...because I would use that for ever thing that I use a PC...web browsing (Opera mobile works great) Typing text documents and taking notes in class, using excal for schedules and time sheets, power point for reviewing school slides, GPS navigation...ect I can do it all on wm6 and its faster then a PC. I could just boot up vista if I ever needed to print something out or get something on the web that needed more powerful java usage, or edit complex text/excel documents (rare)....oh well, the tilt will make me happy for now(not that I would have gotten rid of it any way...I love it!.)

There are some "stowaway bluetooth mouse/keyboard" drivers around too (they are part of the ROM I use), but they don't seem as reliable.
Ahh, I knew I should have added that I tried these programs already.
It does not seam to work with either my mac keyboard or my PC rocketfish bluetooth keyboard. I found them while googling for a solution and was very happy...only to be disappointed.
This is was actually drove me to buy a Celio RedFly, which comes in the mail on tuesday But I still want to be able to use my mac keyboard! Now I can just used a USB mouse and the redfly as a larger screen.
I did this because in all practicality my WinMo can do every I need...may not be as enjoyable of a experience as say a MID or UMPC, but I'm looking for function here.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Kaiser to project a power point presentation, bypassing the need for a laptop, and without the use of an intermediate device like the Margi PDA presenter? I read that the new HTC phones may be able to do that, if so is this a software or special hardware wiring? is it a function of the device being VGA or qVGA display? I would appreciate an explanantion by one of the experts.
You are hearing about a technology that hasn't yet been released... it will be a micro projector built into the phone or as an ipod sized accessory.

If you mean the sort of video output dongle thats possible to use with the Touch Pro and other devices, no it won't work if used with the Kaiser. I've not tried it with my Kaiser, I've just read it here somewhere on XDA-DEV that it doesn't work with a Kaiser.
I am talking about the ability of the new devices e.g. Fuze to connect directly to a TV or slide projector using a special cable from the mini USB on on one end and has RCA connections on the other to attach to the external display device. See this:
http://www.htc.com/us/product.aspx?id=58080
Kaiser doesn't support/have the TV Out feature, this was asked and explain before, just search the kaiser forum and you will get your answer.

I have my old CDMA touch diamond and i would like to use it as a bluetooth mouse for my windows 7 netbook, My perferable kind would be a tilt sesor one, but i dont think it has the tilt sensors so i regular old mouse would work, does any one know a good app for this

The DIAM500 or CDMA Diamond has a G sensor, There is a pretty good app that uses tilt or touch and works threw bluetooth\usb\wifi, Im just on my device at work so when i get home ill find out what its called and post a link. This app does have a price tag tho.
It is called Gremote
http://gbmsoftware.com/
Its $9.95 right now,
It works really well threw usb, Bluetooth disconnected randomly once in a wile, and wifi I never got going but I didn't give it a fair shot.
