TV Remote Control

Hey, after cruising some threads I couldn't really find what I'm looking for. Is there any .cabs for a program that will let me use my tilt as a remote control for a time warner cable box? Either through radio or bluetooth, or even infared? Thanks in advance.

I used a program with the 8525 that was really good, called NDR Deluxe, however it's one you have to pay for. It doesn't work with the Tilt because the tilt doesn't have a IR port.
I don't think you can get one that will work without an IR port.

The Tilt has no IR, does your cable box have a radio receiver or bluetooth?

id imagine it has a radio receiver. But not sure about the bluetooth. would a bluetooth dongle work for it though? theres usb ports on the back of the device.

The only remote you will be getting is the one I think timewarner is doing with ATT. ( I think) You can program your dvr with it remotely like sprint offers.

Inexpensive Desktop Cradle (Pics inside)

I found an inexpensive alternative to a desktop cradle that works really well with the Incredible.
The photos below is of an old one I have had laying around, the one in the auction link below is black with grey inserts. If you search eBay, they come in different colors as well (I found blue and red as well).
It's a cell phone holder for a car (not designed for the incredible), you will need to remove the seat belts but they just pull out. It won't secure the phone but for a desktop cradle that's not needed anyway.
It works perfect for viewing videos and slideshows in landscape mode.
The only drawback I have found is that in Landscape mode the USB cable needs to have an up angle to not interfear with the way it sits (it hits the descktop).
To solve this I ordered an up angle USB Cable.

Here is a link to an eBay auction that is selling them for $8.50 with free shipping.

It looks like a neat solution for anyone who's been wondering when the Apple TV 2G will be able to boot Linux, seem to have everything that you'd need to a silent, low power media streamer without the trouble of building something using beagleboard or similar...
I have no idea how this works properly without a touchscreen but clearly it does. It should be possible to connect an external mouse or larger touchscreen display to make it easier to control. I'm thinking of getting one and a cheap IR-based 24" touchscreen display for a nice living room media controller.
Wanted to know if anyone has one and if it's possible to root this?

Bump! Anybody get one of these things yet. I'm a Google TV owner and wondering how this thing compares.

i have received it one it comes with android 2.1, upgraded to 2.2 through following forum http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1679431&p=5 and nice people working on it for rooting and all, it is just another android mobile without gsm / gps in a black box, u can attache bluetooth keyboard mouse which i m using.

Lego Dock for Defy

I saw a similar dock on youtube (thanks for the author), it was plain and functional.
Made mine with a little more fun.
There is a lego guy "in control" when docked.
He is really enjoying the big screen!
Have to find a magnet to try the docking feature of defy. There is room for the magnet...
If you like it, build your own and hit thanks.

I tried that too but it don´works verry good becaus the usb cable pushed the phone out of the Dock

To do this you'd have to have some curved cable I think... or the dock could be a bit higher so the cable would fit under it, but then it wouldn't be small good looking dock, but a big block dock

how to make to show only picture on dock??
Thanks a lot

I did load that wallpaper as image with the gallery to make the photos.
So I did not make any automtism there.
I try to find the wallpper and post it here as I saw there was a request for it...

The wallpaper
And here it is...

Tiny keyboard (external)

I just bought a Rii Handheld keyboard (RII-518), and I am very happy with it.
It looks like this:

only smaller than you think, and it was only 35 dollars from this site: http://dx.com/p/mini-handheld-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-93118
It pairs beautifully, and the only think I don't like about it is that it doesn't work right away when you turn it on. You sort of have to push a few buttons, and then change apps - but then it works fine. I usually just turn it on when I start using it, and then don't turn it off until I put the tablet away for the night.
Anyway, try it if you think it's for you.

Tempted to buy this. One of those items I would really like to test drive before I commit though. I have would be using it for note taking in class probably. Thoughts?

Looks nice n compact..
I've got one of the diNovo mini's.

Works well, and you have mouse control as well with the trackpad on the right.

I got this one and really like it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0QLLO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

Both of those are rechargeable? And have you tried to do any extensive note taking?

Seems way over priced, have seen similar ones for 10$ shipped on ebay, Chinese ones

Build quality on the cheap Chinese ones can be very poor though, waste of $10 if you get it and the keys don't work properly.

Well, I won't say the Rii's quality is comparable to an old IBM Model M keyboard, but it certainly works! Well worth the money IMO.
