X01HT meeting in Tokyo!!!

Gentlemen,
here is the date and location for our next X01HT meeting.
As suggested by Andrew Shuttleworth, we decided on the 9th of January at 7pm.
As location we settled on the PINKCOW in Shibuya, details can be found here http://www.thepinkcow.com
i typed this on the go and might edit it on my PC later.
We are happy for anyone who appreciates this phone, to come and share your thoughts, suggestions and concerns. The meeting will be held in a relaxed atmosphere and of course we talk English.
I suggest for anyone who has problems with the phone or Softbank (seems to be a few, including me) to participate and hopefully find or give some answers that might help others.

Hi there,
I'll be there. On time, this time. Hopefully.

Thats ok, mate. We can hold one of the upcoming events in your office...ha ha

Ladies and Gentlemen,
here is my daily "bump"
Still alot of time...

Hm. live very close by, I hope I will be able to make it, too.
Having bought my X01HT just yesterday, it's my first ever Windows Mobile device so I feel a bit like a fish out of water. So far I've got it in English, installed google maps and skype and set up a complicated e-mail forwarding network involving gmail to get spam-free mail to the phone, but that's about it.
I want to get some kind of push e-mail at some point, now to start scouring handango for software. I hope to get a bunch of good recommendations from you guys who've been using the thing a while longer than me!

You are always welcome!! I am actually thinking to make a late Christmas present for everyone attending. Something useful for the phone.
So i want to make a list of the people who can make it that day.
So to all of you guys, please, if you think you most likely be able to show up, PM me or quick post in here.

Well, all the best to you. I hope its nothing serious.

Happy New Year, People!!!
I am finally back in Tokyo after spending "the days" snowboarding in Hokkaido and O-Shogatsu at my In-Law`s house.
Too bad my doc doesnt allow me to have a drink.
Anyway, this post got a little lost and confused with another.
So either way, i hope i can fix it somewhat.
So we will hold the meeting in Shibuya at ThePinkCow

Not sure how I missed this thread, but I'll be there this evening. Look forward to it.

I just pinged a few Japanese Windows Mobile geek friends and 3 of them should be coming along including:

Should be a great meeting!

Tokyo Jan 2006 Meeting Report
We had a great this evening. 4 of the top Japanese Windows Mobile experts came along so there was no shortage of expertise. One member also partly managed to join remotely thanks to MSN and a projector. I'm going to be looking at options for setting up some sort of video cast and/or a Skype or MSN chat room next time. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Everyone seemed very happy with the venue, but as the 13th is booked next month I'd like to propose moving the Feb. event a week forward to the 6th. How does that sound? The guys from http://www.htc-fan.jp/ said they will announce the event so perhaps we can expect 20-30 people.
It's great to have excitement and energy re. Windows Mobile smart phones in Japan ;-)

Looking for your help guys, Transferring ownership for free!

Hey,
As most of you know, I am the sole owner of touch innovation. I have done alot to this website (and I still have more to come). THe problem is, over the next half year I have alot of work ahead of me, that affects my future. But I don't particulary want to go into it.
I want someone that can look after and keep the site going for up to 6 months. I know you're thinking "What's the point in this, what do I get out of it?". Well, you get experience.
You'll get a weekly number of emails, submissions etc from people that use the website, you can monitor these, and help out there questions.
You can add programs from here etc.
Why Am I asking this?
I have spent months and months of coding this website (considering the website is only 4 months old, it's a lot of work). And I've hit a niche in the market, people want a website like this, and I am supplying them with one, but I need it to be updated while I am gone. Maybe some marketing (aka advertising) as well, so everything is running peak, and more users are coming.
This is a non-profit organisation, I make no money out of it.
I will pay the guy at the end (maybe), dependant on how much they have done to the website. And I want them to take it upon them self to make any adjustments. The site will potentially be yours for the half year (I will be checking up on it, and If there are some changes that are iffy, I will contact you about it).
It's good experience, and maybe helping me + the community out for a while.
Thanks guys,
-------------------
Okay, another idea, A team of people can request to be part of the team, and keep the site running well and keep it updated for the time I'm gone
Touch Innovation team (to-be's):
nir36
jackkkkk
Kenshino
jdiperla
AkshayGenius
Hannigan174
churka
Thanks for anyone who helps in advance, I will be up for giving a little price tag at the end, dependant on whether they've applied effort to maintain the site

No one?

I think it would be awesome to have this opportunity but I have no experience in html coding. Just the basics.

I thought I had replied to this :/
Erm, you dont need any html coding skills. You just need to know how to keep a website updated (using xda, and others) using my simple but easy and clever admin panel. Also advertise to keep hits up etc.

Napbree, I would gladly take this website, but i'm MEGAbusy with studies and work.
I suggest that instead of granting this website to another "sole" person, you create users in your admin panel and grant them to a few people who will keep it updated. I build websites and I can tell you that there's no way i'd be able to handle even one of those i've built, myself.
If a group of people are willing to help, I will be one of them.
I'll also try creating commercial opportunities for the website - profitwise.

I'd usually say "This is not the place to post these kind of posts.. use the Q&A section".. which comes naturally nowadays..
but considering the importance of this... I think we need this thread bumped up until you manage to get what you wish for.

Yes, that would be great. You've given me an awesome idea. A team of people that can mointor and keep the site up and running well, and content updated etc.
I'll start making a list of people who want to become part of the team
And if you could get a commercial opportunity, that would be amazing. I'd be up for selling it as well (maybe). It's just I want to keep the site of my hands for a while. Because my dad died only a week ago, and i'm entering a state of depression, and I need to get out into the world and keep myself busy.
Thanks

Someone?
I really like this site, and would like to see it continue.
Nathan has done such great job on developing this site, it would be shame, to see it gone waste!
So anyone who has motivation and some time to take this site under ownership, please contact nathan!
Ps. I'm one of admins of this site, and can tell you that it's really easy to update site, because of the nathan's clever admin panel. I would do it myself if i had the time, but my studies and and other projects takes too much time.
All friends of this site, let's get this thread bumped until we get some help for nathan

Firstly.. i'm sorry. Be well.
Secondly, I have some connections.. I can't promise anything but i might be able to get some advertisments going.. we'll see how it goes.
Also, if manage to get some time off .. sometime.. I'll create flash banners and put them up.
COUNT ME IN.

Thank you allevant
And nir36 thanks again, that would be mucho appreciated! very generous

I'm willing to help...
But I'm not sure if I got any use thou as I got no tech experiences or running a website.
My best experience is being a gaming forum moderator and basic computer/pda knowledge.
But, if you think I'm a good canadiate please let me know as I would like to help in anyways.

You don't really need experience in running a site. As long as you can spend some time on the admin panel to add content, it's all good.
I've added you to the to-be team , hope you don't mind.

Thanks! future for the site is looking brighter this is just a bump post

I'll bump your bump

Dear Napbree,
I am an Application Consultant and actually my job consists of making corporate websites for government entities.
Websites I've done include (not exhaustive list)
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/industry/
and
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/games
Same domain but totally different things.
So do count me in if you need help running the website.
I am certified in JAVA (Have Sun Certified Java Programmer and Developer certs) and am proficient in both JSP and Applications.
Currently I am writing CMS based websites using PHP, CSS, HTML and Javascript.
I can definitely write some code to add more cool functionality to your website

I'll bumb your bumbing my bumb

Hi Kenshino,
Application consultant heh, nice!
At the moment, I will be able to code up new sections for the site, for example, the new update that will come sooner or later (when I have time to finish it), has live submission, which means users can instantly add applications, as long as it applies with a few of my automated checks.
But if you have any ideas, and you want to code them up, you can definately! But I wouldn't be able to give source code, but you can code it seperately and then I can incoroporate it nicely
Thank you lots for your interest
Nathan

Hey, I volunteer too. I am a PC administrator and had had success in hosting my own sites in the past as well as prior administration duties to games like http://www.swcombine.com

Sounds great
Added you to the list, I will contact you all in the future, once I have a nice big list of contributors
Thanks

let's keep this on top.

I've been accepted into the beta test for Wave, I have 3 invites left over. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll determine if you're worthy.

Me, pm sent

I'd like one. pm sent

if you could, I shall pm you my email? many thanks either way

I've got a bunch leftover as well. PM me. (and then help me get Zenulators 1.6 build working on my Vogue haha...)

Right, I'm out of invites now... those who got them, welcome to the fun. Those who didn't, be patient, I'm sure we'll all get more soon

I've started an Android "brain trust" wave so far... trying to get all the pertinent info we have her eon the forums onto another medium. Seems to be working so far. Do a search for Android braintrust, let me know what you find. Also if you could PM me your google wave address, I'll add you to my contacts and then to the Wave.

hello
I have a couple of friends who have received the google wave as well yet they haven't received extra invites to pass out, so I would be so appreciative if some one was to send me one, I would be glad to pm my gmail addy to whoever could send one, no worries either way, thank you.

Currently I use google docs with people in my company to manage documents and stuff. Once Wave gets developed and opened more I feel like we will probably move some of our stuff to that for collaboration.

hey if anyone gets more of the invites let me know, i have been itching to try it out i'll pm you my Gmail address

Unfortunately I have no invites to give out yet, but I'll keep XDA in mind. Here's a secret, a ton are being given away in the Wave subReddit.
Google Wave is slow, but usable in Android browser, even at 320x240. Has anyone else experimented with this?

Hey,
I was wondering if anybody had any Wave invites left, I know polyrythmic ran out but if anybody else could lend me a hand, that would be awesome.

i just got on wave i will let you know if i get any

I threw it on virtualbox. It's okay and a pretty neat concept for the older generation. It's kind of refreshing to see a Linux platform that's not the typical GDE or KDE interface and simplifies things. For me, I would never use it on a day to day basis but I can see where google was going. If anything, Ubuntu is still the main Linux platform opposed to Windows or Macs for everyday users.

the only thing i wished is that they didnt demand SSD, think of all the legacy equipment that cant run a newer operating system and is just planning on being thrown out, esp since they cant support alot of newer software.
things like that i hope the open source community would help in porting with, it will extend the life out of alot of computers

[REQ] Need Beta Testers (Animated Children's Book) [ENDED]

Hi Guys,
I have spent several years in the device specific forums here at XDA and finally I need some help from the community.
The company I work for is developing animated children's book for Android, iOS (and soon WinPhone7).
As an avid Android user, I find cross-platform applications are often sub-par on Android, and even across devices within the Android platform. Our company is dedicated to writing our applications from the ground up on each platform and particularly in the case of Android to ensure that our applications look great across all devices.
We are looking currently for users with Android devices to test and give feedback, volunteers are to send me a private message with their username, hardware devices they can test on and OSs. They will be send a custom build featuring their username.
The requirements and requested feedback is as follows:
Requirements:
Android Phone or Tablet
Stock OS preferrable.
MDPI or higher device.
An Interest in Children's books.
We would LOVE to have this tested on a Xoom Tablet.
Feedback:
Screenshots
OS Version
Device Name
Comments on performance and appearance.
Testing at the moment is focussing on the performance and appearance of the application but comments regarding the "story" and it's illustration that are relevent would also be appreciated.
I'm not sure if the rules of advertising apply here but if you require more information feel free to PM me and I can provide a link to our website pending allowance from admins to post our name and address.
UPDATE: Thank you for all those who have helped and provided feedback. My apologies to those who have not yet had replies. The BETA has now ended and the product will be releasing very soon.

I'd like to beta test it.

Hi all,
I have now sent out the first few copies of the application for testing. I have replied to all PMs with either an email wit hthe file and instructions where supplied, or a request for a contact email to which I can send further instructions and the application.
If I have missed anyone I apologies, please message me again and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I have had a large number of PMs and I'm only human so in between relaxing for the weekend I have tried to reply to everyone without missing any out.
Thanks again and I look forward to some feedback from the community.

Me me me!
I'd love to test this out. My 3 year old and my soon-to-be-1 year old would love to be able to listen to different stories than the ones I've already bought. ^_^
And, to the person who wonders if this is practical... it truly is.
I'm sending a PM, hope I can be involved.

Hi Guys,
Please do send in more PMs. We have have had several testers on the Motorola XOOM tablet so we don't really need many more of them, but please if you have other devices get in touch, the BETA will be running for a day or two longer.

i am a stay at home dad with a 7 month old ..... i would be honored to be a part of something so important to the new generations development... lord knows the world will need our kids to be smarter

[APP] Balanced - need Desire testers!

Hi, Im the dev of Balanced, an app/widget for checking your mobile balance through *100# or *123# USSD commands. It has been in beta for a while here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
We really need a few hard-core testers with this phone.
We are near releasing a final version and would welcome some testing on the Desire, as there still seem to be some bugs to iron out!
Also, we are looking for translations, so if you are interested you can let me know and i will send you the internal pro version for free or put a few bucks in a paypal email for beers.

Guys some of you have written about problems - are there any others with issues?
