Not quite a PPC. But still portable :D

Rummaging through the interweb just now i stumbled across this little bit of kit:

Looks pretty cool. I would get one if i had the £445 for it
Maybe in the near future aayyyyyyyyyy

fancy. where can i get one?

I'd love to get one of these true mini-computers (I like to think of my Rhodium as a mini-computer but until it runs regular desktop Windows it will always be somewhat limited).
However, I absolutely hate the way the mouse is setup on most of these kits. Usually there seems to be some kind of minuscule trackpad on one side of the screen and mouse buttons on the other side. I see the mouse buttons on this one, but where's the track pad? Is it that diamond shaped thing on the top left? If so I cannot imagine that the mouse on this thing would be even close to usable.
What I really want is a trackpoint/nipple mouse like the ones on Lenovo Thinkpads. I think Sony produced something like this, but it was absurdly expensive (~$800).

You are referring to the UX series UMPC. Beautiful device (when you install XP on it). My only complain is the keyboard has recessed keys (think of the Motorola Razr), so typing is difficult as hell.
I very much like the one that the OP has posted though. It does look somewhat like the Rhodium

Actually this is what I was thinking of:
Sony Vaio P
Both nice looking kits

The middle one kinda looks like the Uni

Don't get that sharp one, whatever you do. It's a nice machine, but I sold mine after a month because you get about an hour of use out of it(of battery), now I have a viliv s5 and love it. Sony ux was good, never had one, but loved playing with one at the stores

I ended up getting an Acer Aspire One A150.
Got it off a friend who has no idea on the price of electronics...
as a result, i got it for £20
Still might get one of these ULTRA portable netbooks sometime in the future though

£20?!!? niiiiiiice!

Viliv S5
Any other Viliv users here? I want to ask about GPS navigation software for the S5.

Ordering one next month! ..

Yuck... although I like the concept of small portable computers... the reality is usually too much eye strain and inability to do perform "normal" computing tasks.
The smallest I want my computer to be is my netbook... which usually sits collecting dust on my night stand.

Wow people these are so cool! I haven't even heard of antly of these. So awesome. I have to have one now.

Nice had one myself last year. Sold it again after using it a year for $200
If you tweak it a little you'll be able to play GTA Vice City on it San Andreas will also run, but you won't get 60 FPS.

Samsung, where is my dock!

I don't know about you guys, but the day I bought a dock for my BlackBerry it changed my life. I can live without one for a while, but it's just not the same. Samsung and 3rd parties need to step up their game.

You can always make your own, it's not like they promised it like they did with the Galaxy S phones (took couple of months for them to get it out).

I had both the car and home dock for my Nexus One. I may be able to live without the home dock, but the car dock is a must for me!
Sent from my Nexus S

Watchu need a home dock for?
I'd take a landscape one that would let me have the phone on clock mode in landscape... Other then that... pass...
Car dock would be uber useful but I bet the Nexus One dock works just fine.

I wanted a landscape dock for that exact reason for my G1. I really hope to see one for the Nexus S.
I am hoping that Pro Clip will come out with a decent car dock soon as well.
I could also go for a dock with speakers for work as well. I like to listen to music and Sirius XM

Miss my Nexus dock.
It was really nice... had connection at the bottom u didn't have to plug into usb... and a the dock acts as a a2dp hub!
but ya... prob not gonna happen for the ns

a little handy work and you can make a real nice DIY dock as it was done on the SGS

The Nexus One dock was designed specifically for the N1. The N1 is the only phone that will fit and get any use out of it unfortunately. I loved my N1 dock and right now it's what I miss the most with my NS. I bought a $30 universal USB car dock and it it super cheap feeling and is already loose.
The fact that I have to manually connect a USB connector anytime I want to charge it isn't a huge deal, but definitely not a plus. And then with my N1 dock, it would launch the car home when it was docked. Just super useful and convenient. I hope Samsung can release a dock for the NS of equal quality.

Agreed, those little metal contacts on the bottom of the nexus were a great idea I wish that other manufacturers would steal.

The MT4G has them on its side... and HTC released a landscape dock a few weeks ago.
I agree about the docking on the NS.... one of my biggest gripes about the phone.

I'd like to see them use NFC to automatically launch Car Home/Clock.

Keyboard solutions?

Has anyone found a good keyboard set up for the nexus 7? I am starting school back up soon and would like to find an elegant and well functioning keyboard set up to take notes on my little tablet but haven't seen anything on here that catches my eye.
I can't from the transformer and the dock is the only thing I miss!
I recently saw that Samsung came out with a seven inch tab student bucks bundled that came with as little keyboard dock. Not sure if that would be compatible though.
Anyone find a good keyboard, dock, and our cars case for this?
Thanks

I love my Thinkoutside folding keyboard which I've had for years. I was really please that it connected and worked perfectly with the N7. I also have some cheesy old BT mouse that really rounds out the set.

I second the Thinkoutside folding keyboard. I had read about it on one of these boards and recently picked up a used one to be used with both my Nexus 7 and HP Touchpad. It is nice and portable, and very comfortable (in my opinion) to use.
You can try and see whether you can pick one up on Craigslist or eBay.

Thanks a lot I will check it out. Do you guys use something separate to prop the tab up?
Edit: can't seem to find out in stock almost anywhere. Pretty pricy too for the few I found on eBay. Some seem to have a little cradle and some don't. Any difference? I'll keep an eye out though.
Any other suggestions?

The Verbatim Folding Bluetooth Keyboard is really good. The keys are wide and have good response. It's made for the iPad, so obviously their are some iOS specific keys that don't work, but other than that it's solid.

I posted a deal on a Motorola one the other day, it has a trackpad and Android hotkeys. If you can find one for a similar price then it would be worth it, otherwise I would suggest either the bigger Logitech ($50-$60) one or the HP Touchpad keyboard ($30).

I ordered a Zippy keyboard from NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823701033, and a bit cheaper at Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Zippy-FULL-Function-Bluetooth-Keyboard/dp/B004MMESVY
It is a bit smaller than I expected but it works well with the 7 as it is faster than the on screen keyboard and I only type with about 4 or 5 fingers anyway. Can be paired with 6 BT devices and switch between them. I haven't used it much yet, but it seems sturdy and well made.
I have a book type case that I prop up when using the keyboard and snagged a $5 Motorola BT mouse the other day on woot.

Any recommendations for non blue tooth keyboards? I don't really want yet another device to charge or use batteries with, and so a wired connection is fine By me. All the small ones I can find are BT. I'm looking for a chiclet style if possible.

for some reason, the verbatim keyboard doesn't work with my nexus. I worked on my nook color running cyanogenmod and it works with my iPad 2, but not the nexus 7 could it be b/c i'm using trinity kernel ?

Dock and or Keyboard

Will the the pogo pin connection be used for a stand/charging/media dock only or shall we hope for a keyboard as well?

It is meant for all of the above that you just mentioned
Hopefully Google/Samsung support it with a wide range of accessories.

I just hope the keyboard doesn't cost 100€ like others. That's 1/4 of the device. There isn't much technology inside a keyboard...

What's the chance of seeing a keyboard cover a la the MS Touch Cover, or a dock a la the Transformer series?

While the technology might not be that impressive in a keyboard, they usually include an extended battery in the keyboard. That alone is worth a decent amount of money. That and a normal keyboard is easily ~$50 or more. I don't think that is a terrible price to pay for the convenience and functionality.

The Surface keyboard cover is a great idea, but $120 extra (with Surface), ouch.

Keyboard Case for nexus 10
Hope that comes with a keyboard cover as beautiful as that of the MS Surface.
This Tablet is beautifull for develop whit AIDE - Android Java IDE

Is it really possible to have a keyboard dock for this tablet? The tablet doesn't have hinges where the dock would attach and be secured to, so unfortunately I don't think it will be possible.

What? There is a pogo pin connector on the bottom in between two slots for something to snap into (like the prime tablet implementation). This is obviously not used for the cover, as that uses the top part of the back, so the pogo and slots should be for some dock/keyboard of some kind. Would be shocked to find they don't make them.

I'll get my surface in the next few days, but if it 's no fit for me, then I so hope for a battery/keyboard dock...

My guess is some dock that charges it at the same time.

Is that a keyboard or a tablet placed flat on this photo??

Outdated? How so? There is currently no other android tablet that has close to the same specs...

Here's a nice keyboard accessory:
http://phandroid.com/2012/11/01/logitech-bluetooth-android-keyboard-only-10-better-hurry-deals/
should fit the nexus 10. No sd card slot, uses bluetooth.

I would love something comparable to the Transformer dock for the Asus transformer prime series. Adds a USB port, full size SD reader, 6 hours of extra battery and a full keyboard.
The only way to improve on that would be a backlit keyboard and USB 3.0 instead of 2.0.... Maybe a blu-ray drive? I can dream:cyclops:

Hmmm... I wonder if the keyboard could have a microSD card?

Gaming Case

Is there anything like that for Note 2?
http://www.wynlabs.com/

not that I have seen of. Some of us are using the GameKlip Universal with a sixaxias controller.

I have seen that and it looks awesome. But its not practical - I don't want to carry Sixaxis controller everywhere I go.

Is there anything like that for our note i like it alot!

I use an iControlpad... it's the most portable and versatile game pad that I've found that can attach to the phone. It works as an external battery, too, so you can charge your phone off the game pads battery. They're about to release the iControlpad2, which will have a keyboard built in and has a much nicer design. Their website is icontrolpad.com.

Ya it will be released if that lazy ass developer will hurry up. It was supposed to be released 3 months ago and a hell of alot of people are pissed because they pledged ya back in september or october I believe. I'm sure happy I didnt...
All I did was get a ps controller, bought a controller case, got tetrax and combined them all together.

Honestly you may think it looks bad but it is the smallest mount that I can possibly use with a quality playstation controller.

iControlPad looks awesome. I don't really care about keyboard, but since first version is sold out and due to other non-keyboard improvements. I will wait. Are there any news about price of that thing?
I like your controller, but as I said my goal here is to have portable controller that I can take anywhere (put it into my pocket). And PS controller can't be that.

I like the carrying case for the PS3 controller. I should look for something like that. I went with the GameKlip and Clingo Neklit. Not as portable as what the OP is wanting, but it's universal.

It really depends on what you are playing also.
If you truely want to play n64 the correct way then you must have a ps3 controller with the sixaxis app. I dont see any better way to get that type of control and that type of quality any smaller.
For a while I was actually looking at mini p3 controller lol. Never really found any great ones though.

That was the big thing for me, too... I wanted something easily pocketable. I pledged on their kick starter for the 2nd one, so I got one coming once it's produced. They had delays because they ended up adding LEDs and had to make some design changes, but they're finally about to go into production and plan to start shipping in March. I think the price will be around $70.
I'd be willing to sell or trade my original one once I get the 2nd version... or maybe sooner as I haven't had time recently to use it much anyways.
