Its just sinking in for me.. im kind of bummed about it.
The measly 4GB on the diamond with NO means of expansion is not enough.
The iphone offers 8 and 16.. even the freaking Samsung Tocco is being given away with 8GB card.
What were HTC thinking?!

Don't like it, don't buy it!!! You really like the iphone? Go with it and hold your complaints to yourself. There is a lot of this topic going around already, don't litter it with more of the same sh*t...

No.. I absolutely detest the iPhone.
I already have my diamond, but tonight (as I put loads of music on my device) ive been thinking about it more and more... why didnt HTC put at least 8GB in it or add a Micro SD slot.
Other than that, I absolutely adore my diamond. Its a fantastic device and a great upgrade to my HTC Touch.
The whole 'mine is bigger than yours' thing doesn't bother me.
It's a phone, not an entertainment system for me.
I always carry a usb drive and am rarely far from a real pc.
When I ordered it I hadn't noticed the lack of card slot and I've only ever had a 2gig card in my previous smartphones. Maybe I just don't understand the concern to have so much on a media player but then again I did used to buy C120 tapes for my walkman

I cant remember the exact figure but it would add several mm to the device to put in a MicroSD slot so that's the main reason they didnt. There may also be power savings and speed improvements but i beleive the size issue was the most important.

Second the notion! One of the best things the Diamond has is its size!
Perfect size,you boys are forgetting the SIZE.
The fruityphone is huge looks like a brick.

Turns into one too you try and do anything clever on it ;-)
I'm syncing my diamond to my iMac(itunes) using missing sync, so I'm not really sure whether this is possible using media player on windows, haven't been using windows for years so I have no idea as to it's playlist capabilities...
I've got two playlists that I'm syncing (everytime my diamond connects, basically every night) the first one I add music to as I please (songs I have to actually add to the playlist)... The second however consists of songs played less than three times... I have a pretty large library and my diamond pretty much always have music on it that I'm not tired of, hence I find the 4Gb quite sufficient. This is also available for videos, or video podcasts (if you use your diamond as a video player)
They'll comeout with one with more memory, until then, go to www.modmyifone.com:)

I absolutely agree. Everyone knows that the Diamond has 4Gb and is not expandable. Pretty pathetic really if they buy it and then realise they want more space.
I have stored 100+ pics, 15 hours of music and installed all programs in the internal storage - and I still have 2,4 GB free.

I am perfectly within my rights to discuss the shortcomings of a product that I purchased within the arena of a forum dedicated to said product.
A forum exists for discussion, debate and problem solving. What do you expect, me to create countless thread of "how much I love my diamond". No.
You dont like it, stay out of the thread.
just look at your posts
moan...moan....ohh yes and moan again

Not really. Its like anything else, you buy it thinking it'll be fine - its only when the space runs out that you realise you want more.
And no - dont go suggesting the iphone as an alternative, to me its a compromise. I want a kick ass Windows Mobile device. The diamond is damn near perfect apart from the storage issue. Curious HTC went this route as
1) Flash memory is very cheap. Hardly any cost difference between 4GB and 8GB
2)A Micro SD slot will not impact size that much
Do any of you think there will be any third party solutions (adaptors of some sort?)

The forum is for trying to solve a problem and sharing information.
Moaning - perhaps understandable to a certain limit.
Now, you know there is nothing you (or anyone else can do) about the 4 GB internal sotrage that you got with your phone.
If there is a new version of the diamond, with more memory or an external card slot.. someone will definitely share that info.
Unless that's what you were doing, I don't think that moaning is going to get you anywhere or achieve anything.
An exercise in futility.
If you just want to share your opinion, there are plenty of places where you can do so.
Doing it on a forum where people are looking for solutions, not exactly the best approach.
Just my view

Not really - there are workable solutions, for example someone mentioned ORB.. plus I'd like to get into dialogue about the possibility of adaptors..
I wont be dictated to about what I can or cannot talk about.
I mean a thread dedicated to wallpaper on the diamond (Which is near 5 pages long) is more redundant than this one, yet I hear no complaints about that.
Hey guys .. well I basicly wanted to ask a quick question ... would it be possible to run .. a pokemon game .. you the ones for nintendo ds lite ? ..... I do enjoy those games they help me kill time .. if you wanna contact me u can at [email protected] .. thanx guys if not just send me a message on here peace
u can use the kidd gbc which is a game boy color emulator but its pretty slow
Where do i find it ?
he said for the ds lite. for right now its only for gameboy color games
As an active member of both the Android and Pokemon communities, I can safely say it is impossible to run Pokemon D/P/P on Android (at least with the currently available hardware).
coolbho3000:
Why that? Because of the lack of screen/buttons/processing-power?
citizen-erased:
Nope, you can't. Look at the DS, and then look at the Dream. Do you see anything missing?

I guess if you had the source code from Game Freak, or you could even do a very accurate clone ... It's not a control issue (the bottom screen is practically useless in the game anyway). There's no way to do DS emulation on a G1 or any other Android hardware that's going to release this year. Hell, the best PC emulator is still slow on older computers.

i don't have a ds or ds lite or ds wifi or whatever the new one is, and i don't play pokemon, but i haven't posted much lately, and i want to stay consistenet on this site, and i want to up my posts, and if you haven't noticed yet i DO LOVE COMMAS, so, for lack of the obvious, i'm going to chime in here and say....
an extra screen?
Just thought I'd point out a full NES emulator on the market which works perfectly at full speed with sound and saving state. It's called Nesroid. I've tried it with a few games and it seems to work perfectly, although the sound is a little static-y.
Yeah I saw that this morning. I was waiting on a little more feedback before I bought it. Im looking forward to some Captain Skyhawk...
Yeah, I tried to buy it with my dad's credit card, but i stucked at "validating credit card" or something like that (i'm german) so i mailed the developer asking him for e.g. paypal .. still waiting for answer <.< GNAH GIMME ZELDA

I posted some feedback on it here

**Nesoid
Saw this posted on here and HAD to test it out...!! But when searching for Nesroid, I received no results. It's actually under Nesoid (no R) But regardless, I am very impressed. There are comments on the market page for it stating there is NO sound..well that's not true. I tested FF1, FF2, Kirby's Adventure, Zelda, and Megaman, all work flawlessly!! Full speed, sound, everything. ^-^ Keeping it, worth the $1.99..this is what I've been waiting for.. now hopefully, there will be more on a Genesis or SNES emulator..though I know an SNES one is in the works and should be out by end of June... crap..I don't have the link, but the developers are very focused on speed, sound, and save states..! I will find that link...eek.
you mean, this one:
http://www.supergnes.com/
Yeah it works well. I guess why some don't have sound is because of the lack of Open GL drivers in their firmware (HAHAHAHHAHAHA! screw them ). There is lite (free) version that seems to be the same thing... I'm kinda pissed because there seems to be no difference between the two! At this point... I normally would refund and get the free (exact duplicate!!) one but I feel bad because I have waited for this since I got my G1. Hummm.... the Touch Pro 2 is coming to T-MO USA in July and I was gonna go back to WM (keep my Dream as a back up) but it gets easier to decide not to with each day of fantastic Android innovation, port, or emulator. Hell, it's good to have choices! Now T-Mobile is finally giving us MANY more (cough, cough, Samsung Android w/ 8GB internal memory coming in fall)
Looks like my battery life will suffer severely thanks to this app. Sound gets choppy when the phone starts accessing data, which sucks, but it is still awesome
works on jf 1.5.... The sound for me doesn't work but every game I have played on it works 100% This is a dev who knows what a good product is!
its about time a decent emulator came out, if ScummVM works fine i dont see why all the other emulators till now had to suck...

Maybe you should try to write a high performance emulator in Java. Then you'd find out.
Freedomcaller:
You have no clue what an emulator, OR scummvm is, do you?
An emulator simulates all low-level calls, and basicly pretends it's a whole other computer... and that's while running all the other services and apps in the background.
That is not an easy thing to do, and especially not in pure interpreted java. That's why native/compiled code is probably used in that emulator.
ScummVM is *NOT* an emulator. SCUMM is an interpreted language, by lucas-art.
What ScummVM does is basicly just read some sort of script, and match the commands in the script, to local calls.
ScummVM is (relatively) easy to implement, and doesn't need a whole lot of horse-power (The NintendoDS runs it, and i think the GBA does too... and the GBA runs at 16MHz, with 384kB of RAM)
this emulator works great, i tested 5 nes rom and they all runs and sounds perfectly.
this is from 1.5 H build.
the graphic looks cool when g1 screen is so small.
now lets give us SNES emulator please

This emulator is so fast in fact, I suspect this app has a component of native code in it that is not Java at all. Doom had a piece of native code in it.

This is great!
Any chance buying the emulator for the ones outside T-Mobile networks?
u don't need tmobile?!
The lite version only plays one preloaded rom - Chip N Dale. I'm sure you could mess with the .apk to play other roms, but the work involved to make a good NES emulator is worth 2 bucks to me.
Well, let me try again then.. Is there any way to get this outside the market, as I live in a country that cannot browse any priced applications on the market.
Edit: I have no problem paying for it via paypal or something, it's just unavailable for me over the market and I really want this !

This will allow you to browse priced apps on the market:

However you'll still need to attach a credit card to your Google Checkout to use it.
Lite version works with thedude's apps2sd rom, but the paid doesn't. the app.zip file isn't showing up as being downloaded, and market says it is. Anyone having this problem with an apps to sd rom?
So I've been looking around on Google for a tutorial on how to jailbreak a Xbox 360 but seems like all the links are fake and can't find a legit guide. And where better to ask than the forum I read daily full of genius developers can anybody help me out? Its a Xbox 360 slim 4gb. Thanks!

What software version is the xbox?
You can find more about it here, http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php
But to be honest I doubt you will be able to jtag it since it's a slim and they are quite new.
not sure what software version it is, ill check it when i get home, but i guess if theres a will theres a way lol
What country to you live in?
In the UK you can send it off to get the drive flashed.
Don't know about any other country.
My Xbox 360 is an Arcade model (the old one). Its flashed and allows you to play copied games.
(but we can't talk about stuff like this here)
BTW: the new xbox 360 cannot be JTAGed.
Xbox 360 is simple to mod, all you need is the correct sata card, I use Via, and the Jungleflasher software to flash your dvd drive with the custom firmware.
Jtag is a bit more complicated, and dependent on your software version.
I have a Jtagged console, but as most of the jtaggable consoles are old and mostly Red ring, the Jtag scene has pretty much died.
Will any body tell me that how I could jailbreak my Xbox 360 E 4gb console, as I couldn't found any legit guide to do though. Please help me...!
alright guys my friend has a toshiba satellite L755 (this might not be the entire model number im going to look into it again) and its spec are alright but the video card and possible the cpu are ****. he wants to play alot of the newest games but isent able to run most of them, but im sure a simple getting a video card and installing it should be easy but i dont know if the video card is attached to the cpu and that would be very expensive . i wouldnt know how to tell if it would be that problem can anyone help us?
No, yes, no ...
Desktop and Laptop thread? You can't have missed it?
I have never heard of changing a video card on laptop. It's like built in feature and look that you won't find anything on the market that fits GPU for laptops. You could of course buy a graphics card and connect it via usb but from what I remember It was very expensive and was only given support to some intel cpu's
Better luck asking here.

I've done it several times. It all depends on the laptop and wether or not you can even access the Videocard. Most high-end Asus laptops can easily be customized.
Best go to a computershop if you've no experience with it yourself, it isn't always easy.
