Can anyone clarify on:

• Does "FM" mean the Pyra has an FM broadcast radio reciever?
• What a "Modem Ignite" is?

* USB-Host Currency Converter  * Modem Ignite

Need some clarification here... What exchange rate does the "USB-Host Currency Converter" use when converting Dollars to Euros?

Is the Modem Ignite a cigarette lighter? How does it work?

BTW: Beware - I'll start an official keyboard layout thread later tonight... I guess there'll be a hot discussion after that...

You are and remain the best troll in the board. :>

What would be the point of a keyboard layout thread? Hasn't the whole world settled on Qwerty already?

Nope, at least not in Europe ... in Germany we use QWERTZ and and I think Frenchpeople like AZERTY or something ...

 

[elw3]

Well i use xvlcwk...

Yeah I visited an internetcafe in Germany once, should have brought my own keyboard, well the letters were a bit shuffled but the @ was very hard to find, try typing an email address without that ;-)

Well I know that, but most products that are sold internationally are sold with the Qwerty keyboard. Why should the Pyra be any different?

maybe mentioned before, but on the topic of keyboards, this kickstarter project has a very flexible keyboard layout (through laser engraving), with a very limited production run

That's why the rotator chip is still listed in the untested section

Sorry, I don't understand the references, so which line is it?

Can anyone clarify on:

• Does "FM" mean the Pyra has an FM broadcast radio reciever?
• What a "Modem Ignite" is?

FM: depends on whether we can really get the combined WiFi/BT/FM chip or if we have to replace it by something with different featuresModem Ignite: a gpio that triggers the "IGNITE" input of the 3G/4G modem module, i.e. enables power

Currency Converter: damn auto-fixing spell-checkers - should be "Current Converter"

 

[hitbyambulance]

an FM receiver would be nice, i think!

Naja, a FM Receiver would mean, whe have to hear the shitty german Radio Musik (Lady Gaga, Helene Fischer) and have to pay  "GEZ"  ..

At the other side: somethimes a Radio can be usefull..

And you can still hear C64 SID Via Rockbox..

Lots of interesting ships i dotnt understand but be happy to have..

You already pay GEZ in germany. Its over an year, that you have to pay for each livinggroup (Haushalt) and not for every sibgle device.
So don't mind thinks like that

 

[matzesu]

Was just a joke, sure i know i allready pay, even if i only sing for myself..

OK Than im looking forward to hear helene fisher from my shiny new pyra ... :unsure:

The Pyra doesn't have room for even a laptop-style 88-key compact QWERTY layout, so all of the symbolic keys to the right of the alphanumeric ones have to be relocated.
