What software do you plan on using?

Thought this might be interesting given that there would only be two phones that support the 480x800 resolution (other being the Touch HD)
What software would you plan or like to use on the X1?
I would like to see support for:
IM+ or JiveTalk
S2U2 (A_C probably won't make a special version for the X1 so it could work)
SPB Mobile Shell
GoogleMaps
Slingbox Mobile
iDialer
MyMobiler
Good video player to play movies with
What about you all?

Don't expect slingplayer mobile optimized for that resolution, after talking to someone who works for Sling Media he said next down the road is VGA optimization, iPhone support, Blackberry support, then POSSIBLY Android.

Yea it will probably be a while before Sling Media makes it way to wvga but it would be nice.

Yeah, you are 1000% correct, I was invited to certain new beta program over at Slinmedia {cannot call the name at this time}, but I heared the same thing concerning the Xpreia X1 and the HTC Touch HD.
Black as you might know, the SlingPlayer mobile works with the Samsung Omnia i900, but it does not fit the screen right, maybe the same thing with the Xperia X1. I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 TV tuner on my home PC that will bring me live satellite TV via DirecTV via the Orb sever client. I can entertain myself from anywhere on the planet, where I can make a Internet connection with my entire Multi Media Library coming to me from my home PC. So their is no problem for me, when it comes to live TV or mobile entertainment on my Xperia X1a............!

As you know, the Xperia is still my #1 girl, but I got eyes for the 103 and her big sister the 301, both got TV OUT, that's one feature I want on my Next toy. I know already the USA Xperia X1a version will not be out until Jan. 2009. Another thing I know, AT&T will NOT be carring the Xperia X1a, {That's What I was Told Yesterday}, but it will still work on AT&T's 3g 850/1900 MHz UMTS or they might sell it unlock. So I'm going to leave myself open to make changes, if needed....!

Well that sucks ATT isn't goin to carry it seems like I'm goin to have to get a Tilt a Fuze or get an unlocked X1a probably goin be around 500. That's pretty steep for a phone.
They give any reasoning for ATT not carrying it? I would have a problem switching to tmobile other then the fact that I just switched the wife to ATT

Windows Mobile 7 announced for the HD ?

Hello all, Windows Mobile 7 is announced to be available this year. It seems that it will be a lot more "finger friendly". The Touch HD would fit it very well.
In fact, I'm currently a Kaiser owner, and I planned to buy a Touch HD but I'm a bit disapointed (as always with HTC !!!) about its graphical performances.
Touch HD owners still need to convert video files for the Touch HD to read them at a good speed ... A shame !!!! I had an Axim x50v 4 years ago which was able to read any VGA DivX without any convertion and it was really fast, no lags.
So I can deal with the bad video performances (I already do with my Kaiser ...) but I need a major change in the general usage of the device compared to my Kaiser.
That's why I would be glad to see Windows Mobile 7 announced for the Touch HD, it may be the thing which would decide me to buy a Touch HD.
Does anyone know if HTC plan to upgrade the Touch HD with Windows Mobile 7 when it will be available ?
Thanks !

Windows 7?
Where? I thought was delayed for 2010 and that they will release soon windows 6.5... Did I miss something

In fact Windows Mobile 8 was delayed for 2010 (and maybe later !). What I read so far is that Windows Mobile 7 should be available in the middle of 2009.
EDIT : New news -> you're right, wm 6.5 announced to come before 7 ... 7 delayed for 2010 ...

what you read is incorrect. WM7 is for 2010, Q4 of 2009 at the EARLIEST. and to your original question. WM7 may require a different set of hardware to be completely finger friendly, ie no more resistive touch screen. but that's not to say people here can't hack it and port it to a legacy product (ie. touch HD) by the time WM7 comes out

About the date for WM 7, take a look at my EDIT section in my previous post ...
I've already noticed it changed, but thanks anyway ...
About the hardware, I'm not sure it may need a different hardware because it is said that Microsoft developped an application which use the camera as a G-Sensor ... So they may do their best for this O.S. to be compatible with old style hardware ...
So now the question is : will HTC offer a WM 6.5 upgrade for the Touch HD ... Not sure cause it may be there too late ...

Hm, i think the 6.5 will be published in Spring/Summer 09, so it could be possible.

Fact:
He totaly made that up, there have been some renderings of what the G2 MAY look like and many people took it upon themselves to photoshop The Beast running the Android OS. Don't get your hopes up.
(My) Sepculation:
You'll probably see the G1 come out with 5 more colors, and 10 more OTAs before you ever find out what a G2 looks like.
Sources:

Not to mention that HTC specifically said that they did not manufacture the Black Stone with a radio module supporting the US 3G frequencies. So I doubt T-Mobile would Market any device going foward as running on G2/Edge

Hmm. Camera tracking applications kill the battery _very_ quickly and obviously don't work in bad light conditions or against blank surfaces with no pattern.
The HD has a g-sensor anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.

i've also read on numerous websites that theres the chance that t-mobile may be running android on touch HD.
also the HD is definitly coming out on t-mobile in the next 2 months

the time stamp sais your last edit was after my post. but regarding the hardware difference: microsoft never specifies the HW requirement to end customers because we don't get to purchase the OS. they do specify to the manufactures of the phones. it's the same reason why your PC hardware requirement changes for Windows 2000 and Windows Vista. I'm sure you can some what run Vista on a machine built for Win 2K, but your experience will be limited. So I was just saying that some hackers here can port the WM7 to Touch HD, even though Touch HD is not designated to run WM7.
Requirement wise, I am _speculating_ that it will need a better CPU/graphics chip, amongst other things. the current Qualcomm chip 's graphic capability just plain sucks, the CPU power also isn't the best. Horse power by horsepower, a Qualcomm 500 MHz is much slower than a Marvel/Intel PXA 500 Mhz. I believe WM7 will have more graphics requirement: here's my logic:
- Up till WM6.1 (possibly 6.5), the max resolution supported is 800x480 (which is ok), but he color depth is only 65000, which is low. Iphone supports 262000, i'm sure MS will be going after at least that.
- ever since phones/PDA moved form QVGA to VGA and WVGA, the graphics suffered, and understandbly so. though not microsoft's fault directly. people started saying "my WM phone/PDA is slow" and put the blame on MS. So MS will be clearing their name and restricting manufactures from putting their OS on a non-suitable device
so the above two points just to show you in the graphics department there may be a HW requirement. can you run it on a phone that doesn't fit the requirement? suuuuure, just that the experience won't be as good.
and finally, the news yesterday confirmed my suspicious is that HTC just dumped Qualcomm (not 100% dump though) as the sole CPU/chip provider due to their performance. Given that a product stays in incubation (for prototyping QA, testing, beta, etc etc) for 6 to 8 month before it hits the market. I believe HTC is prototyping the new devices with WM6.5 and perhaps even WM7, and found the performance with Qualcomm chip lacking. hence hardware requirement.

I don't mean to be rude, but what part don't you understand that the the Touch HD has hardware limitation not allowing it to take advantage of US 3G frequencies
If you read my previous post you'll see an official announcement from HTC themselves supporting my comment.
The HTC will not see the light of day in the United States, In the US there are 2 GSM Carriers ATT and T-Mobile
ATT won't relesase because it directly competes (and probably breeches) their contract with Apple
And, when was the last time you seen T-Mobile release a beefy smartphone, the smartest phone they have is the Wing, and that's a joke in terms of Harware.

What makes you think he is talking about the US market? There are other countries out there you know
I was told by around 5 people from T-Mob UK retentions that it was in the testing phase, and they could offer it to me around March. This could possibly have been conjecture to try and get me to stay, but if you look at the link below, you will see a trend.

HAHA oh man I get the same thing all the time!
The annoying thing is it's surprisingly hard to say "HTC Touch HD" properly coherantly without sounding weird due to the cacophony of hard syllables!
Something interesting to note about WiMo 6.5 and the Touch HD is in reference to Pocket Internet Explorer 6. Microsoft have stated that their new mobile browser won't be released for use on any device due to hardware limitations of current devices - but there HAS been a ROM released by a microsoft developer for the Touch HD ONLY that DOES include the new Pocket IE...
My theory is that 6.5 will be held by microsoft for use on higher spec future handsets only, but the Touch HD will be allowed a possibly semi-official update. (maybe in the guise of a ROM by a microsoft developer like PIE6)
Something else to bear in mind, the Hermes was in mid life cycle when WiMo6 was released and HTC duly released a free upgrade from the pre-existing version 5 so there's a possibility they might do something similar for the HD.
All speculation and hope of course...

Here are some images of what WM7 might look like. Check out the Word 2007 picture. It looks like it has a lot of menu options.

Flash?

I've read various reviews saying the flash support doesnt work properly or is crap. Can anyone who hs actually tried it on here comment?
I'm tempted to get one tonight!
Also - does the BBCi player work over cellular network or only wifi like the iphone?
Thanks

So far flash support is pretty terrible. BBC flash content doesn't work. Only flash thing I've seen work so far is a little Cyanide and Happiness short and even that was juddery.

I read somewhere that it has Flash lite, which is on par with version 8 of flash. since we are all on version 10 in the desktop world I think it fair to say its behind. especially since the best advances in the latter versions are to do with video. So most video flash on the web with be 9 or 10 so no chance on the hero. Remember that Adobe said they are doing flash for devices stated to come out at end of 09 early 10. for ALL but the iphone...
You see apple would lose quite a bit if people could simply play FREE flash games and not purchase games through the app store.

Android isn't officially supported by the BBC iPlayer, but Beebplayer (on the market) effectively spoofs the iPlayer site to send an Android compatible stream that works fine in most cases, including via 3G (your mileage may vary!).

It plays 100% on my mates gheyphone...which winds me up a little haha
I have nrgs rom installed which uses opera 10...but i read that you can use opera 9.7 with a flash fix...I wonder if that will make tvcatchup work with with opera rather than skyfire?

are they any good? have you checked out tvcatchup...got it working on skyfire via wifi...3g is no use (at least in my area). it seems they made a specific app/page for iphone users...the stream is prob tailored to their device/resolution...half the size of the hd2 (?) so it will look/stream a lot better over 3g (or at least this is what i think?)

As one of the Admin of TVCatchup let's face the facts:
http://m.tvcatchup.com/ has 28 freeview channels, for most phones including Windows Mobile 6.0 + Yamgo has 4.
Yamgo's quality is like watching something from the 60's, that is allowing for bandwidth problems as well. TVC has it's own optimised page offering low and high quality options.
Yamgo spam everything and make false twitter and facebook accounts and generally pee off everyone. We never spam and have built our membership by word of mouth and reputation.
We have open and free help forums that deal with issues right away, I once sent a support email to Yamgo and got a response four days later.
Sounds petty I know but we are trying to provide a service par excellence and of course I am biased, but it peeves you off with shafters like this.

[Q] Sad to return - PCWorld UK refund?

I love the idea of the Galaxy Tab, but unfortunately due to my eyesight I'm going to have to stick with the Ipad and return my Samsung Galaxy Tab bought from PCWorld UK last Monday.
Anyone got any ideas for the best approach to use with PCWorld UK to obtain a full refund. I have opened the box and used the Tab for a few days, was careful with packaging and have performed a factory reset on the device.
If I cannot get a full refund from PCWorld UK then onto eBay it willl go.
I will be first in line when there is a decent 10inch version available.
Mike

If I were you, I'd probably complain that I'm unable to get to full desktop sites of certain websites (e.g. BBC iPlayer) and that was your whole raison d'être for buying a Tab.
Yes, it can be fixed by flashing a later firmware, but you don't know that!

Theres absolutely no need to flash new firmware and a senior member should know that...

He is simply trying to give an excuse to receive a full refund not give a work around for the web browser...

Just a thought but did you try to download Spare Parts and increase the font size through it?

I took my iPad back to PC World and got a full refund after telling them it was no good too me due to lack of flash. They refunded me without fuss.
I'd go with what the other poster advised and say that sites like iPlayer are going straight to mobile view but you purchased it in good faith believing it would do full sites.
I love my Tab, especially now I got full sites working after flashing it

You seem to have *completely* misread both the original post, and my reply!
As far as I can tell, the OP loves the Tab but can't get on with the 7" screen due to poor eyesight. So, he wants an excuse to return the device that the store will accept given that it has been used.
All I have done is given him that excuse. If he takes his Tab back to PC World and demonstrates that he can't get full fat iPlayer on it, he can legitimately claim that the device is not fit for purpose!
Putting the OPs question to one side though, on the firmware that came with my Tab it didn't work! In order to get full fat iPlayer on the Tab I *had* to flash a later firmware. And yes, I tried lots of different browsers including:
Skyfire
Opera
Firefox
XScope
Dolphin HD
With the shipped firmware, not one of these would give me the full desktop iPlayer site *and* allow me to play the flash content on it. It didn't matter what I set the useragent to, and yes I tried everything.
The problem also came up on lots of other websites (e.g. Carphone Warehouse). In that case, whilst I could get to a desktop version of the site, the moment I clicked on a link it would take me back to the mobile site.
So far, the only known way of fixing this is to flash to JK4 (see here). Note that your firmware may well be different to the original firmware on *my* device, so *you* may not have this issue, but since my device came from PC World, I'm prepared to bet that the OPs firmware is the same as mine, and therefore will exhibit the same behaviour.
So yes, I do know what I am talking about here, and there is most definitely a reason to flash a new firmware!

Dave

Agreed. I just find the 10inch form factor of the Ipad screen more suitable for my use. Dolphin HD browser and Skyfire both work great. I have used Spare Parts and applied the compatability fix and also increased fiont sizes.
I am just looking for a reasonable sounding excuse to get a full refund from PCWorld UK rather than a quick sale on eBay where I will loose some moeny.
I find the magnification smoother on the Ipad, plus Angry Birds does seem to stutter more than on the Ipad.

I am not angry, I love the Android OS and the open-ness it brings, its the form factor that is not suitable. As soon as a decent full feature 10inch android tablet is available then I will be first in oine for a sale.
I now realise 10ich is my "sweet spot", I am just looking for a reasonable "unfit for purpose" excuse to get my money back within PCWorlds 7 working days refund policy.

You state BBC iPlayer and Carphone Warehouse as examples of the desktop websites that only show the "mobile" version. Can you tell me any others I can use as examples. My Tab is already "boxed" up, ready to go back to the store. Thanks. Mike.

Not off the top of my head because I've flashed a working firmware on my device now, so it all works ok!
iPlayer is probably the best one though - the mobile site doesn't give you live streams for starters and the recorded streams are low quality compared to the desktop versions.
Yesterday I watched the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live on my Tab using the "desktop" iPlayer site, and this would have impossible with the stock firmware.

Job done!
Took the tab into my local PCWorld UK store this evening and walked away with a full refund without too much hassle.
Assistant I spoke to was convinced he could get it showing full desktop sites with a change in Settings. When he could not, the refund was very quickly offered.
I enjoyed my week with the Tab. Just being able to stuff content on without Itunes, the camera, android market were all great. in the end the 7inch screen was not right for me.
Roll on a 10inch, Honeycomb Android tablets, if Samsung produce one of these then they a sale again.
