    Hold Button The Wiz

    I also assumed that it would put it into a low power state. Otherwise, what is the point of having a calendar with alarms unless you just leave it on all the time. I hope this is how it functions. I hate having to carry a Palm and an additional device.

    Why So Little Interest In The Wiz?

    I'm interested in the Wiz quite a bit, but since they have delayed it, I have kind of entered that numb state because I don't want to sit in eager anticipation for two or three months... In maybe two months, I will let it escalate again... :)

    Why So Little Interest In The Wiz?

    I'm writing as a user, as I have no dev experience. I am pretty excited about the Wiz. I have never seen an oled screen, so while it sounds like a vast improvement, I can't get too excited about it. I'm mainly excited about the size of the unit. I am a guy who likes to carry my handheld...

    New Ebook Reader From Irex

    I've been reading ebooks for about 6 years, and I have yet to be impressed with any of the exclusive ebook readers on the market today, mainly because of the ridiculous price and the lack of a backlight. I have a Palm handheld that I bought for $60. I put Wordsmith and FontSmoother on it and...

    Favorite Ebook Reader: Haali Reader

    I currently use a Palm Tungsten T2 to read and keep my schedule throughout the day. For reading on it, I like Wordsmith, which will save your place, but also allow you to edit errors in the text. It supports different fonts, and combined with Font Smoother, the text quality is amazing. Btw...

    'app Store-like Service'

    Hopefully, I won't sound like a moron asking this, but why could you not take one of the Sandisk or Palm Wifi cards that use the SD slot and write drivers for them for the Wiz?

    The Wiz Gets Proper Buttons And A 3.5mm Headphone Jack

    Personally, I don't anticipate having a problem with boot time on the Wiz simply because of the "hold" feature. I figure I will start it up in the morning when I first need to get my fix, and then put it in "hold" instead of turning it off so that it will be equivalent to an "instant on"...

    GP2X Programming For Gp2x Or Wiz

    Honestly, I don't know enough about programming to comment intelligently. In that day, I would make a small program to meet my need. They would not be "executable" in the standard sense. You would go into qbasic and run it. My understanding was that most folks program for the GP2X in C++...

    GP2X Programming For Gp2x Or Wiz

    I'm not sure that this is the right area, but I am trying to take an interest in programming for these devices. I'm a total newb, and haven't programmed anything since qbasic in DOS. I've picked up a C++ for Dummies book to get me started. I wasn't sure if this was the way to go since I am...

    Question About Pim On Wiz

    I guess this would be more addressed to those who received test units. I come from a mostly Palm background having owned a number of Palm handhelds and a Zodiac as well. I also have a GP2X. My "dream device" would merge a Palm and a GP2X type of device. I don't care a lot about Wifi. I...

    Gp2x Batteries Draining Fast

    I have been using these batteries since I got my GP2X about a month ago: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FFF34S?smid=A...mp;linkCode=asn I'm getting four or five hours of use out of them, and have had no problems.

    Movie Encoding

    I got an F200 for Christmas and it's working great for me. The only issue I'm having currently is watching movies. When I download a TV show, it is usually about 350MB. If I take that and put it on the SD card and watch it on the GP2X, it works great. Because of advice to re-encode, I've...

    How Many People Didn,t Recieve Thier Gp2x This Xmas

    I ordered mine two weeks before Christmas from gp2xstore.com and they were out of stock. They finally came in the week before Christmas and mine showed up at my house three days before Christmas.
