hi
i bought pocket conquest over 1.5 yrs ago.. and the author of that app has not since released any new versions or even made a vga complaint version for ppc despite my pleading with him..
since i bought the game i own it.. therefor i was wanting to know if i post the game here can anyone with some knowledge of programming make it work normally on a vga ppc...im gearing up for htc universal
let me know
thanks
Hi mate
Just wanted to say that if you've bought something (such as an app or a game) it doesn't mean you own the whole thing including the source code; it means you've bought a license which I assume entitles you to run it on the platform for which it was intended.
Just thought you should know.
Cheers

i may agree with you on that.. but what if the author promised continual upgrades with a vga version planned for near future to lure buyers then a year and a half goes by and nothing//no upgrades no vga compatibility
despite my requests..then what.. am i supposed to think the 20 bucks i spent on this game just went to charity? dont think so mate!
so if i can get some one or try me self somehow to get a vga compatible version of this game (the only one i play) for personal use ..i dont think thats asking for too much
Hi guys, there are more news on the HTC shift, it has been official presented on the 28th in Taiwan by HTC. This is the official retail package and it's 100% what you will get in retail store.
Here is a link for some picture: http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=224&t=508252&last=4825702
For those people who can't see the picture, see my attachment of how to show the picture.
My HTC contact was there and he has tested the device, i specific ask him to test on phone and gps function, he report back saying that there is 100% no phone and GPS inside the Shift.
I know a lot of people will say they seen photo of GPS or phone, but that me remind you this, this is the latest official retail version, all device before are prototype. Yes, i have also seen the picture on FCC website showing there is GPS inside, that's the reason I asked my friend to test it! And let me say this again, there will be no GPS or Phone out of the box.
Our hope will be for the developers here in XDA to crack the function to enable full windows mobile, phone, and GPS.
p.s. Another news i got from my friend, HTC is saying the SD slot will only support up to 2GB.
can you getem?
Hi Wu, how are you doing, just wondering like you got me my Dopod, can you get hold of a shift for me? Thanks Dude

Hi Faisal, i am fine thank you. I hope you are doing well too.
Yes i can get the Shift for you, it's currently on pre-order and the device will be available on the 4th of Feb. Price is a bit lower then anywhere else and you will get bonus with it such as GPS and extra battery....etc.
If you are interesting in getting one, please PM me and we can discuss more there !
Hmm.. i´m ordered a sample from our german distributor but now i´m thinking about to cancel the order. We thinking long time ago about a integration of the shift in our company network for our VIP customers. But without gps, without Mobile and without LAN (or can i install Windows over netboot over WLAN??) i should search better for a other solution. there is not really a innovation inside. maybe the better solution with same features is a Toshiba Portégé R400 Series laptop..
but we will see the next on cebit i hope. maybe a other manufactor. we support htc from scratch with their first devices. after over 7000 devices and the problems within it´s time to test a other manufacor i think. maybe asus, samsung
Pre-Order all gone
Please do not ask me any more for HTC Shift, all the 200 unit for pre-order is gone already, first shipment will be on the 4th of Feb, if there is any more stock available, i will let you all know asap.

weird comment .. I don't see any device being a half of what the Shift is ... and even without GPS, without Phone, without LAN and without full WM6 .. the shift is still the best device on the market for my needs.
WLAN will replace LAN over the time.. so I don't think it is a big mistake, but it could have been great
GPS "should" be in the SHIFT but not in WM6 (GPS in Vista).. but the choice is not perfect (who whant a GPS that is working only 2 hours..)
The Shift is not the perfect device, for everyone, but we have to see the real potential of the shift before crying for any lack of feature.
HTC has announced a "shift" like device with 5" .. maybe it will have GPS, Phone, etc.. we will see
weird - yes of course.. ;-)
i´m think it´s a new strategy of HTC to make devices without completly knows features.
maybe, LAN is only for Enterprise Customers like us with over 200tsd Users worldwide interesting, (automatic Software distribution) but Phone Functionality is interesting some more users. Is not really practicable with a 7" Device, but with BT Headset and Speak Control - why not. GPS is only a nice Addon for freaks like me, they travel around the world.
But overall: you´re need really a device like this? (i call that "the innovation factor" inside ;-)
But it´s really needed? Sometimes i think about Asus EEE PC, there a many Websites with modding this mini laptop, it´s crazy. when i have a look to this modding sites I see one:
they have much fun with modding her cheap Asus EEE Laptop.
But after 6 Years with HTC devices in all colors I ask me sometimes:
where is the fun - as i start with it..
;-)

Well well well .. yeah I really need a device like this. I hate laptop (it's almost like bringing my desktop tower ...) because it's too big for me (even 11" ones). The shift has the perfect size for being a good laptop to use everywhere (including when travelling, when being on the bed, ...).
A laptot is not silent at all... mine is making too much noise.. almost the same as my desktop ! And it's warm.. warm... too warm ! I can't keep it on my knees more than 10 minutes ... WAW ! Totally useless to have a laptop.
The shift is quite, cold (not warm I mean ) and I can put it in my pocket (yeah I can... really ... I can ! .. have I tried... not yet.. but I have look the size and it fits well in my pocket... yeah.. really !).
I have bought an HTC Touch to work without any computer with me ... and .. ouch.. impossible to work with the Touch ! No real application on Windows Mobile .... Mobile Office? NOOOO it's too horrible ! On the shift I can use Windows Vista to work .. mmh so nice !
And what about the size .. 40Go is enough to work everywhere I want .. i can plug a VGA cable to my TFT to have a real screen .. and I can do this in so many room (I'm a student, so believe me... I do see a lot of monitor that just want to put their VGA cable in something !).
The only thing that can be bad was the keyboard, but I have tried it.. and WAW it worked well ! Not as well as my own Logitech Media Keyboard with about 80 words per minute... but I can type about 60 words per minute... enough when I'm not @ home.
I do believe the shift is the only solution for me right now, and I'm waiting a little to see all the real features available on the "retail" shift.. but I have great hopes in it !
Supposedly the Shift has the Qualcomm MSM 7200 chipset in it which has voice and gps built in. I can not see them "removing" that from the chipset. It's just a matter of time before this device get's "unlocked" to it's fullest potential.
I still do not see the marketing strategy of HTC leaving these features "out"... You would think that every device you release you would want to sell the hell out of it no? Are they that cocky that they believe they will be around forever to keep selling up their products to us?
i.e. Model Shift II including GPS!!! More money!!!

hard to know... but it's sure that the strategy seems completely wrong .... maybe they want us to buy a Phone and a GPS ... but it's not the right choice.... many people will not buy a HTC device because of it...
It is an odd strategy but not the first time they've done this stuff. Still I think most people who are inclined to buy Windows Mobile devices usually research them. A WinMo device is alot more advanced than your cpl hundred dollar nokias, I think when people are spending over $500 on a phone they are pretty inclined to do some research.
With that said im pretty sure HTC know if they release a shift w/o GPS or phone enabled, good people here can hack it and enable (remember the P3600) and then its on the users onus if things mess up. Actually sounds like a good strategy when you think about it, they only have to meet target "X" in terms of standards for "X" features. If end users decide to try activating features "Y" then they do so at their own risk...

i don't think it's smart.. because about 50% of intersted people will not buy the shift only because of missing GPS and Phone.
Hey All
Bit more of a lurker and reader than a poster here, have throughly enjoyed my XDA exec, but after getting an Asus EEE for xmas, i am feeling like i am carrying to much around which all does the same job, and so am looking into getting a smaller phone that just does what a phone does, and leave the wifi and stuff for the laptop, so, as the title says, i'm thinking of selling my Universal.
A bit about ... Geoff ... (as he has just been named)
Geoff is an 02 XDA Exec
Geoff comes with his friends
- Boris the case !
- Suzie the hands free kit (wired) !
- Jones the USB to mini USB charging cable!
Geoff started life on the o2 network, but his owner for some reason likes oranges,
so Geoff currently is running on orange software!
(As stated below, that is the screen protector that is filthy, underneath is clear as a fish!)
Geoffs interests include:
* Connecting people ! He loves to be the go between man enabling people to talk !
* Texting ! He can take inputs on his QWERTY keyboard as fast as you can type!
* Surfing the web, he checks his emails daily !
* Listing to music ! ... His favourite band at the moment seems to be Muse !
Geoffs shining merits are:
* Geoff likes to play it safe, and ALWAYS uses a screen protector, so the screen is immaculate.
* Geoff, considering his life span, has hardly been used. 13 hours of incoming and 9 hours of outgoing calls !
* Geoff has all the other benifits of Universals that you know and love!
Geoffs notable flaws are:
* A slight "ding" on his head he got when he was younger, its not even noticeable, and he performs just as well as any xda !
* Geoffs lunch box (battery), seems to be shrinking in capacity, and while is still perfectly functioning at storing a full days meal (or days life), it would be advisable to buy a new one to make Geoff happy again!
*Geoff has lost his tail (stylus), and its nowhere to be seen :-(
So thats Geoff ..
Geoff has no idea of his current value to others, but is open to offers.
Geoff is also open to receive questions about himself, or perhaps you want him to model some more for photos? or even just to say Hi !
Geoff awaits your response!
Hi, I'm interested an Universal (opting to get one over an EEE PC), but I will only buy if you are in my neighborhood, I don't like doing the shipping thing and I don't have online payment methods anyway.
Would you by any chance be in the Muntinlupa/Las Pinas area of the Philippines right now?

I was searching around for an alternative to Airplay without a wireless TV with my 10.1, and I stumbled upon this.
http://droidcon.nl/?p=3616
It's called xBounds. Anyone heard of this? I see that the video was posted the 25th and I'm surprised at the low views.
thats great
Exactly what i was looking for as Dlna is just crap for compatibility and so slow and clumsy to use. This xbounds looks awesome.

I saw the video about xBounds also.
Is really cool. I sent an e-mail to the team and they answered:

Sorry for the slow reply. xBounds is not available for end-users yet, as it is not an app that can easily be installed on the phone.
We are talking to numerous cell phone makers and are confident that xBounds will become available by Q3 this year.
We will let you know as soon the technology is available!
By the way, xBounds supports all the use cases you described and it makes gaming real phone on a large TV using you phone as a controller

The use cases what he is talking about is a description what I wrote about play HD games like Shadowgun and play high quality videos in .MKV format.
This device is very usefull if your handset don't have any tv-out hardware, and if you already have some you can start to think wireless.
People from Amsterdan can find to buy at droidcon (droidcon.nl).
It seems to work with any android with wifi, and also bluethoot and usb (seriously I don't know how).
The Xperia Play users are running in circles while shaking money to buy it xP.

A New Revolution Is Coming For Arc S, Wireless Hdmi "Xbounds" By Dream Chip Tech.
Wow... waiting for this to hit the market soon
check videos :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ILHEUWzZTOw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlx7Z6j_An4
no need of dlna, i really think it sucks!!
just need hdmi t.v , wi-fi or bluetooth enabled phone(the better technology the faster it performs)
oh yes i am talking about Xbounds working on our arc s, arc ,etc phones which has opengl, etc ... u can say for all advance android smartphones.
better than htc media link(its too costly aswell)
in video the guy is saying when a customer will buy the product they will provide an app/software for phone and ofcourse xbounds dongle(i guess it has an hdmi port with it, not a usb port.. if yes more good for t.v's which just has hdmi and not usb, else would just need an additional wire as in second video posted)
once plugged in your t.v just on your wi-fi or bluetooth and as said then open the software from your phone, connect it the way it will be told and you'll view your phone on the big screen... watch videos do any damn thing its really fast just 1-2 millisecond difference that's like nothing!! and all that wirelessly !! WoOhoO
** Just one con is that you can't do other multitasking things while watching a movie,etc on your phone(whatever u'll be doing on phone it'll show u that only). Not like in htc one x, like u played a movie from it on t.v (htc media link attached) using wirelss hdmi and its still playing the movie on t.v and u are doing other stuff on phone ** (though this hardly matters to me)
Please Rate Thread and Press Thanks if you want it badly now like i do

Edit : glad u saw the difference ...
just got an update from the real makers via e-mail:
Dear Mr. Singh,

.....................................................................
Now what i am trying to figure out as he said that they are talkin to numerous cell phone makers, so is this thing(the software) be coming inbuilt in future phones with the device?!
Or still we will be able to buy it separately to be able to plug the device and install the software and play it on our old smartphones aswell?!
Thanks for the info! Is really very interesting!
The product is awesome. This product needs more advertising space in the net and more info about release date and available magazines. Waiting for it.
