o2 Exec USB?

Hi, I'm going on Holiday soon and want to use my XDA Exec to view photos I take with my digital camera (beats taking the laptop along just to do that).
Now, I understand the Exec doesn't have Host functionality through the USB port, so is there any other way of getting the photos off a Sony Memorystick and onto the XDA?
I've looked around for a USB Host SDIO card and can't find one (not sure the XDA Exec would support it anyway).
Anyone got any suggestions?
TIA

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw a device in PC World that looked like a USB hub, but it was for connecting digital cameras to USB memory sticks, however I only briefly looked at the picture on the box and didn't check it out closely.
Might be worth asking at PC World though in case I didn't imagine it. For gods sake don't mention the exec to the staff there, as they are completely incapable of thinking, but if it would work for a memory stick it might be able to work for the exec, especially as there is a thread around here about making the exec appear as usb memory to a PC.
I found this link http://homepage.mac.com/techedgeezine/2004-0624_syncbox1.htm
and

At the very worst you'd have to get one of these and a small SD card reader to plug into the USB stick slot.

I have the same problem.
Another device is the Delkin USB Bridge:

Similar idea but the Macally SyncBox allows you to copy a subset of the files by storing them in a folder called SyncBox though you won't be able to move files into that folder on most digital cameras.
If you want to turn your PDA into a USB mass storage device get a USB sync cable and this software:

The problem I have with the USB bridge type devices is that they copy everything. I have a Vosonic 6230 MultiMedia Viewer:
http://www.vosonic.com/index.php?PA=product&id=10&kind_id=12
It's a portable HD with multi-card reader. So basically you can copy files from MS card to HD and then from HD to SD card. Not as cheap or light as a USB bridge but you can also use it as extra storage for your PDA and camera or a video player which can connect to a TV.

Looking on Macally site, they now have SyncBox II which allows you to copy individual files:

Why don't more manufacturers implement USB host? It would make PDAs a lot more useful.

The SyncBox II isn't available yet but Memorex have 2 similar devices - one with multi-card reader, one without:

But I don't think it's currently available from a UK retailer.

Ameo for £230? Or best offer?

Hi all,
JUst looking at moving over to a smaller device for a while. I have another Ameo coming soon and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing my current model.
Its got some small scratches on the front (not the screen) where the keyboard has rubbed the paint away, 1 on the left above the keyboard and 2 on the right, one above the front facing camera and 1 under the vueflow button (usual) and the charger died yesterday so I have been charging VIA USB.
Apart from that it is a:
T-mobile Ameo. CID unlocked running AP4.00.
It has Igo and TomTom on it both with Euro maps.....the errrr unregistered versions....
I got most of the bits that came in the box apart from the charger.
Comes with the 4-1 Cable for USB host TV out etc.
A TINY little USB hub for it and a mini Trust Wireless mouse.
A 512 Mini SD card
Headset
Spare Stylus
That little Bag thingy (which I found very usefull)
and I still the have t-mobile box with all the bits and docs
PM me if there is interest.
I would accept trade in if anyone has a decent laptop for sale. (I would pay up to a few hundred more for a trade up to a decent Core2 Duo or T64 with dedicated Nvidia or Ati graphics......)

That's a great price!

Windows MOBILE 7 Dream Phone

Lets make a thread to Show Microsoft we want a Windows Mobile 7 Phone, which operates in Windowed mode, like Windows mobile 6, and comes with a Microsoft-made or HTC-made custom phone specifically for the Windows Moblie 7 Platform
talk about what it might include, what features we'd like, etc..
The Windows Mobile 7 OS would operate similarly to Windows 7 on Desktop PCs, basically a slightly modified version of Windows 7 with flick-panning ability & touch zooming
The Hardware Configuration on the phone should be:
- Quad-core 2Ghz CPU
- 256-512 MB GPU
- 2GB RAM
- 1280x768 4" or 5" Screen Resolution.. 1080p is preferred
- My Display Port (MyDP) with cables & converters included
- 64 GB internal Memory as a Dedicated C:\ Drive
- Dual or Quad Internal (Under the back case) Micro SD Card slots, to hold 2 to 4 Micro SDs which function as removable Disk Drives
- Dual External Micro SD Card Slots, which function as Portable Disk Drives or removable USB Drives
- Each SD Card Slot is Dedicated D:\, E:\, F:\, G:\, H:\, I:\ etc..
- Minimum of 12 external hardware buttons
- Internally Retractable Cable-Attached Full-width telescoping Stylus with 2 hardware buttons and a scroll dial..
- Native Bluetooth External AAA battery-operated Mini Mouse & Foldable Keyboard
- Able to boot any OS, with each separate OS able to boot from each SD card Slot
- Bios Set up for setting default Boot Drive, Memory Settings, etc
- Ability to run x86 Windows 7 Programs..
- Ability to zoom out to full desktop view, eventhough it be small.. we dont need to read ever icon text on the desktop, thats what the icons are for..
- Dedicated 3.5 Video-in & Audio Line-In jacks, as well as a standard headphone jack
- Full-sized USB port for attaching peripherals & USB Hubs
- Rugged, water-resistant, & Shock-proof
- Gorilla Glass
- Bluetooth 4
- 4G
- GPS
- 12 Megapixel Camera pureview quality, with Carl Zeiss Lens
- 2 MP front camera
Now add to this list..
or create your own Windows Mobile 7 Dream Phone

The 12 hardware Buttons could switch back & forth between F1-F12 functionality, or to a set of user-defined other phone assignments
maybe F1-F12 functionality when the phone is docked to a Cradle, Docked into a Tablet Screen, or switched from App Mode to "Windowed Mode" or "Desktop Mode"
the 2 external micro SD Card slots would make it more easy for transferring files between various devices & users, while the internal SD Card Slots would remain protected from possible virus infection from external use
the MyDP connection would be at the bottom left, USB would be at the bottom right.. The Docking Cradle would have Both MyDP & USB Male Ports..
The Docking Cradle would have Common Display Ports VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc.. as well as a 4-port USB hub
Docking the cradle would attach both MyDP & USB, and allow connection from Cradle to HD Display, and use with USB mouse & Keyboard
How Awesome is that?

actually, phones now have 1920x1080 screens, i see...
and I guess 8-core processors may become the new thing as well
we need powerful programs that utilize these upcoming hardware configurations
and I'd like to view the entire Windows 7 desktop at 1920x1080, on my 5 or 6" ACTUALLY smarterphone's screen
yes, i dont care if you cant see it or read it.. I can, i assure you..
and no i dont care if it'd hurt your eyes or make you feel grumpy.. I want it
Has anyone tried installing XP in one of these phones yet?
how far off are we on that?
but we'd need an OS which is made for zooming from full desktop mode to panning mode or something better which takes us from full resolution desktop to multi- application windows
which is where Android should really be putting all of their resources
or Microsoft could take the market with a Windows MOBILE 8 made for this exact purpose
or, Apple, may even suddenly appear on the market with it, making their iPad as useful & functional as the macbooks, and their phones equally as functional & useful as well.. if they can ever stop milking technology & bleeding their customers dry for every last cent they may spend on something before offering the next decades late piece of technology
or we can all sit around gawking at each others swiping methods..

Just got my two Chuwi Hi Book Dual OS delivered from DHL. First impression, the build quality is really excellent, on par with the Cube i9, if not better. Speakers seems good as well, no static noise, same with the 3,5mm jack.
And I really like the keyboard, cant compare the keyboard with i9 yet cause I havent gotten it delivered, still on its way from China.
The bios is from february, gonna test all ports but I can already confirm that the tablet accepts 128GB microSD cards from the start, no issues at all!
Picture:
Will update this post later, and if you have any questions just ask me!
*Update*
The type-C USB port is not the standard of 10gb/s, just tried with a type-C flash drive, it is much slower than the one on Cube i9.
The eMMC/SSD is a: Hynix HCG8e
The Wifi is half the speed I get from my cube i9, with my cube I get: down 100mbit/s – up 8,5mbit/s
Uploaded a picture of the eMMC/SSD CrystalDiskMark 5 benchmark test. Dont know if that is good results or not.

device build quality good for a price,, but software need more work.. wifi is very bad reception i dont know if its related to software driver or poor antenna or metal back case..on Android device not see microsd card, only 9gb free space available..included usb type-c cable very bad and not plug in %100 and didnt charge it with.. cant use cpu max freq at 1,86ghz..

Wifi speeds on my wifi at home is close to 50, but should be 2 to 3 times that at least {I have 300mb cable internet}.
Type C cable works great. Charges quickly. A bit short for me so using one of the 6 foot cables I bought my wife for her Zenpad.
Just bought the type C to usb 3.0 OTG cable to plug in flash drives and such.
Will be buying a 128gb sd to put in, I see it works fine for others.
Overall I am happy with this tablet my wife bought it for me after I showed her an article on it and I said it was cool.

I just started android for the first time on one of my hibook, and downloaded the lastest chuwi update I think it was (maybe it was some other kind of update), It was 105mb big.
After I downloaded and clicked update, the hibook restarted, but nothing happend after that, it was just stuck at a black screen. I powered the tablet off and restarted it and clicked on the android boot icon, but now it is just stuck at the “Intel Inside” menu. Windows 10 still works
though.
I tried to enter into Android inside windows 10, but it doesnt help either.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Over on the chuwi forum I saw something about flashing the BIOS to fix flakey wifi, but didn't read into it much as I've been trying like hell to find a solution for the lack of a touchpad driver for the keyboard dock (hibook 10.1). Anybody heard of a solution for that? By default it's using the generic ms hid mouse driver, not a precision touchpad one, so there are no adjustments for swipes, gestures,or sensitivity in Windows. It's using mouse gestures, which can't be switched off, and is always activating hotkeys and edge swipes. Apparently chuwi doesn't build the keyboard and has no cue who's hardware is in it, and doesn't have a touchpad driver to offer. Very disappointing

Lenovo mix 700 as a head unit?

I know it is windows but any ideas of how to make this work?it is full windows 10,It has Ports: 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0, Micro HDMI™-out, microSD™, Audio Combo Jack,thinking of a D/A converter(usb) and the audio jack?or better with the micro hdmi?I am thinking of trying to get a 3d printer to make up an pan to mount it and I have magnet plates to hold it in?I have a 4000 true rms sound system to inegrate into?Is there such ting as a half din radio or some kind of controller?I also really want HD radio?I have a directed electronics version but reception isnt good,any ideas on this will be apreciated,thanks.
I had the joying 10.1 and the screen went bad,sent it back got the newer version and it went bad almost with in hours of use,tried reseating the screen ribbon cable but it was cocked just enough to burn up the cable,they mailed me new ones and I lost them before I could even try them,the mix700 much more powerfull any ways.

Sorry, but I think you are better off in a CarPC forum with this question or project.
