N900 Alternatives

Just thinking about what all alternatives does a N900 fan have!
N900 is aging & has those stupid USB Port problems.. Grrr


1. Nokia N950
Note:
This should bring the experience closer to N900

Pros:
Built-in keyboard!!!

Cons:
No infrared port
Only recognized developers would get this device!

Summary:
The USBOTG should help with any incompatibility, as USB is now quite mature & we can have a USB port interfacing with pretty much any technology!! say Infrared, LAN, Blu-Ray Drives, PenDrives etc.

2. Nokia N9
Note:
Looks like N9-00 was prototype and had a keyboard but it may not be sold
What we have is N9-01 which is same as N9 & does not have the keyboard.

Pros:

Cons:
No built-in keyboard :( [cost cutting]
Workaround 01: Use bluetooth keyboard
Workaround 02: Use a USB keyboard, as I think that it supports USBOTG

No SD Card slot :( [cost cutting]
Workaround 01: Use a USB Flash Drive as I think that it supports USBOTG
Workaround 02: Use a USB to SD Slot adapter

Porting Linux to the Nokia E90 Communicator

Not sure why it has not been done!
So the study goes on

E90 runs on the ARM11 (OMAP2420 @ 330 MHz) Processor.
The same chip runs on the N93 & N95 too.

Nokia's memory(not sure which one) can be mounted using obex_fs

The platform id (0x102032BE) of E90 is same as that of N95 & related ones

ICOM

ICOM Vehicle Tracking

Low End :
SimpleTrack
Automatic vehicle location using Icom’s F121/F221/S mobile radios and your PC.
SimpleTrack is based on Icom’s EMDC signaling solution for 2-way radio. If you are already using an MDC1200 radio system, it’s fully compatible with EMDC.
And if it uses EMDC, it can use SimpleTrack!
SimpleTrack is a board with a GPS antenna attached to it that installs into an F121/F221 mobile radio. Just plug it in and go.

High End :
Quick Silver
Icom’s Quick Silver GPS connects right into the back of the F5061/F6061 series mobile radios.
Sending simple text messages via your own EMDC system is free, and something MDC 1200 does not offer.
EMDC works with the F3161/F4161, F5061/F6061 and F1721/F1821 series radios.
--------------------------------------
To Find:

Dispatch radio & subscriber radio
APCO P25 Digital Radio System -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_25
MDC-1200
EMDC -> Enhanced MDC adds GPS capabilities for AVL/APL and allows use of free-form short text messages of up to 48 characters in length.
IDAS -> ICOM Digital Advanced System - http://www.idas625.com/
NXDN™ common air interface - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NXDN
------------------------------------------------

Plug in a HM-170GP GPS mic to
the F3161 series portable and your
on-foot staff can be tracked on a
map in real-time, just like a vehicle.
Instead of AVL (Automatic Vehicle
Location), we call it APL (Automatic
People Location).

Icom’s F5061 series mobile has a
D-SUB 25 pin ACC connector on
the rear panel for connecting
various external devices, such
as the Icom Quick Silver GPS
accessory for AVL operation

C-band dish & Costs
http://www.saveondish.com/forum/cost-band-dish-accesories-chennai-t-20574.html

Last saturday I visited around 10 shops in Ritchie Street and the cost is as below...

6 feet C-band Dish-Rs 2200-2500
perfect price, I had enquired the same in few other shops a month back. Price is okay.
Please ask for a solid dish,

Dual frequency c-band lnbf-Rs 250-350
Yes, it comes to this amount. Universal, invacomm is Best.
Universal comes to around Rs.300

Diseq switch for two satellite-Rs 100-150
Go in for a technovision or a good branded one.

Installation charge -Rs 700-750,
Well if you can DIY there is nothing like it.
It needs a lot of patience.

cable-Rs 12 to Rs 20 per metre
Fair price.

Also get some F connectors which would be required, and if you can align the dish yourself u can save on the 700 and get yourself a good satellite finder which is necessary and may come handy later.

STB-mpeg-2 receiver is Rs 700 - 1250 (depending on the warranty)
Bro, they are obsolete these days, u can use them, after some time you may have to go in for a newer ones. Pls go in for a MPEG4 ones cause all channels are migrating to this technology this is my advice.

mpeg-4 reciever is Rs 3300(Beetel,6months warranty) but the shop owner said it is faulty
Beetel ? series.........

and Solid brand is Rs 2750 but 3 months warranty
Yes but these are imported ones dear, we do not know if they would work properly and if they have the proper firmware updates.
go in for beetel(BHARATHI) u can get it serviced here in India in case you have problems and newer firmware versions would be available.

Properllerheads Reason as a HiFi music system



Gone are the days, when we used to have full size Hi-Fi racks in a common electrical appliance showroom.

But now, we can do it with our PC! and still get the rack & dancing LEDs feel
Ofcourse we need the following sofware:
Milage may vary!

1. Properllerheads Reason
2. JackAudio
3. Foobar 2000
4. ASIO

Playback path is as follows

Audio CD -> Foobar2000-> FoobarASIOPlugin->JackAudio doing Routing to Reason -> Propellerheads Reason Input -> Reason Racks like M-class mastering suite or Mclass Equalizer -> Propellerheads Reason Output -> Audio Card -> Speakers



Here is how we set it up in Propellerheads Reason
Audio-In is connected to the Spider Audio Splitter, the outputs of which can be used to feed the untouched signal to various Equalizers.
In the example, 2 equalizers are used to make the Higher Freq & the Lower Freq a bit louder.

SLI on Crossfire Mobos

http://xdevs.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.30
Better Website:e
http://www.slipatch.com

Tested SLI working properly with the following hardware/software

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Motherboard - X38 Chipset
ASUS SLI Ribbon Cable
2x ASUS 8800 GTX 768MB Graphics Card - (Configured for SLI)
1x Gigabyte 8800GT 512MB Graphics Card - (Configured for pure Physx)

Windows XP 32-bit
Slipatch 1.0
Quake 4 - Nexus Hub Tunnel Level

In the Nvidia Driver Configuration panel, the "enable SLI Indicator" option was set.
In Quake console,' com_showfps 1' was set, resolution to 1600x1200, with full eye-candy enabled.
Got around 60FPS most of the time, with smooth game play. (Looks like some cap is set on the fps in the game engine, else frame rates would have gone up by leaps & bounds)

In the past, without SLI, the screen used to stutter, at some places, particularly when viewing those huge pipes, but with SLI, rendering as as smooth and vibrant as molten lava!!

One thing to worry would be temperatures.
Could not touch the GPU for more than 2 seconds!
Moreover, all the 3 GPUs are so close to each other, that there would be only some 2 to 3 mm of gap between them.
Have to think some way of cooling this beast!!!

8800GTX GPU 1 was in the blue slot next to the CPU
8800GTX GPU 2 was in the next blue PCI-E slot
8800GT was kept in the left most black slot

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqVP3XYF8Js at 5:13, The glow in those pipes looked amazing!

Atmel Controllers

With a wide variety of products, it might be confusing for a beginner.
So the first place to orient with the product line would be this document.
This document has some big tables, where in which you can see, what is what!
www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc4064.pdf
Maybe this will also help
http://www.ineltek.com/de/files/AVR_Product_Line_Reference_-_Dec08_-_Customer.pdf

Some info:

STK525 - A USB development board, with AT90USB128 micro controller on it.
We can program based on USB, RS232, Joystick, 4LEDs, Temperature, Microphone, DataFlashMemory(for USB Mass storage demo), Potentiomenter.
Might require STK-500, to use all the programmable ports of the MCU!

STK500 - This development board ships with a AT90S8515-8PC micro controller it.
But it provides slots into which we can place compatible MCUs of various sizes.
I can see that it provides 8 LEDs & 8 Switches.
10 I/O ports for parallel mode programming.
Can provide power supply to STK525, if it is placed over STK500.


AT90USBKey - Self contained stuff, Kind of a stripped down merge between STK525 & STK500

Difference between 2600 & 2600XM
Source : http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t379644-2600-vs-2600xm.html
2600 vs 2600xm
The recommended replacement products are the Cisco 2600XM routers introduced
in May 2002. Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco 2600XM models,
which offer the same modular design and flexibility as the Traditional Cisco
2600 routers, but in addition offer more functionality for the same list
price! In direct comparison, the Cisco 2600XMs provide more value and
functionality by providing the following:

..Up to 33% performance increase for processor-intensive services

..Increased default memory

..Increased maximum flash memory to 48MB

..Increased maximum SDRAM memory to 128MB

..Integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports on all Cisco 2600XM models

..Mainline IOS with the support of 12.1(14) and 12.2(12), in addition to
12.2(T1

..Same feature and module support as the Traditional Cisco 2600 models

..Cisco 2650XM and Cisco 2651XM models supported on a 12.1 mainline (12.1.14)

..Enhanced security and broadband 2600XM product bundles for lower solution
costs and easier ordering (worldwide announcement made on August 12, 2002)

In addition to increased functionality, the new Cisco 2600XM routers provide
the same platform applications and functionality as the current traditional
Cisco 2600s:

..A DC and RPS version of each model

..NEBs Level 3

..Same Module support, including Network Modules, WAN Interface Cards (WIC)
and Advanced Integration Modules (AIM)

..Same chassis dimensions (1RU), power, environmental and regulator
specifications

LCD monitors with 1:1 pixel mapping

Thought of making a list of FullHD+ LCD monitors only, which has 1:1 pixel mapping
Won't cover TVs, as there is another list.
The need comes for video game systems like the PS3, where each game would have its own resolution, or sometimes the same game would run at different resolutions, like one for in-game videos, and another for the 3d Engine.
