| 02:05.29 | `Matir | I was wondering if anyone here had experience with the iPaq 3635 and Familiar? |
| 02:44.00 | bluelightning | `Matir: not directly but I have an h3850 here which is architecturally similar... what is the question? |
| 02:44.49 | `Matir | I was just wondering how simple it is to get to work... and to find compatible CF wireless cards... I have the opportunity to buy one for $75 and am wondering if it is worth it |
| 02:46.23 | bluelightning | `Matir: the 3600 series is a little constrained in memory, but it should work fine with Familiar |
| 02:46.55 | bluelightning | for CF wireless see: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/IpaqHardwareCompatibility_2fWirelessLAN |
| 02:47.17 | bluelightning | I have a NetGear MA701 that works well |
| 02:47.21 | `Matir | it's a shame the jacket only support either CF card or wireless |
| 02:47.46 | bluelightning | actually it supports lots of cards |
| 02:47.51 | bluelightning | anything with Linux support |
| 02:48.21 | bluelightning | I have a CF USB adapter here that works |
| 02:48.56 | `Matir | sorry, i meant one or the other at a time |
| 02:49.04 | `Matir | the jacket it comes with has only a single slot |
| 02:49.27 | bluelightning | well, you could get the dual-slot PC card adapter and use CF->PC adapters in it |
| 02:50.32 | `Matir | true... i'm just trying to avoid shelling out a lot (college student and all) |
| 02:50.36 | bluelightning | alternatively you could spend a bit more and get an h3800 series which has an SD slot that you can use for memory cards |
| 02:50.53 | bluelightning | fair enough |
| 02:51.25 | `Matir | does the h3800 have more internal memory as well? |
| 02:51.25 | bluelightning | you should be able to pick up an h3850 (or h3870 if you want bluetooth) fairly cheaply these days |
| 02:51.28 | bluelightning | yes |
| 02:52.06 | bluelightning | you may find this useful: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HandheldFeatureComparison |
| 02:53.34 | `Matir | this may seem stupid, but how does a transreflective tft differ from a reflective tft |
| 02:53.41 | bluelightning | good question :) |
| 02:54.17 | bluelightning | the transreflective screens are a bit clearer but don't seem as bright |
| 02:54.50 | bluelightning | you can tell the reflective ones by turning the screen at an angle... if you see bright white reflections at the edge it's a reflective |
| 02:54.57 | `Matir | ahh |
| 02:55.41 | bluelightning | I don't know for sure but it's possible there are power implications... perhaps the transreflective needs less backlighting, but I'm not really sure |
| 02:56.34 | bluelightning | if you're looking at the cheaper end of the scale the h3800 series is the best supported by Familiar at the moment |
| 02:57.38 | bluelightning | h3900 is OK but not 100%, h5xxx is poor (and it has badly designed power circuitry anyway) |
| 02:58.23 | `Matir | and all the wireless ones i'm sure are pricey |
| 02:59.01 | bluelightning | yeah a bit, and the built-in wireless may not be as good as a card |
| 02:59.14 | bluelightning | ie, may not have the same scanning capabilities if that's what you're interested in |
| 02:59.41 | `Matir | scanning would be entertaining |
| 02:59.52 | bluelightning | it is :) |
| 03:00.07 | bluelightning | I was astonished at the number of wireless networks around the area where I work |
| 03:00.13 | bluelightning | most unencrypted as well |
| 03:00.22 | bluelightning | didn't try joining any of them though |
| 03:00.35 | `Matir | i'm taking an embedded systems class where we develop for ipaqs and i just thought this was all really cool |
| 03:00.57 | bluelightning | yeah it's very customisable |
| 03:02.05 | `Matir | it seems like it would be a great development platform |
| 03:02.13 | `Matir | even for java with Kaffe |
