sit so near to the giant 30" screen woulb u feel uncomfortable?

not uncomfortable... inadequate

No problems with the Firewave driver, but the problem is, it's really of not much use, unless watching DVDs with my MB, which is rare. Few things I noted though:-

1. Realplayer playback audio sucks through Firewave, maybe it was encoded that way;
2. iTunes sometimes quit unexpectedly, happened to me few times during the first week i was using it;
3. Not compatible with Sofa Control, I cant control my main volume (system volume) with my remote anymore;
4. Volume very low through Firewave in Quicktime, but loud in other applications (iTunes etc).

What else?? Hmm... Not much use, really

Not really, it doesn't matter it is 20" or 30" the distance is standard. This is not HDTV where 32" & 40" are showing you the same resolution. Then you have to sit nearer or further to get the best view.


looks like what I read is true. ALl those are related to the driver, if they built a good driver, everything should works. I'll stick to my good ol' speaker lar.

Stringfellow, what is the small gadget with the keyboard next to the iphone ?

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet + ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard. Itself alone, the Nokia 770 doesnt have any keyboard, but pairs with multitudes of other BT devices from keyboards to mice, to Bluetooth GPS modules. Pair this with any Nokia, and it is zero config setup, it feeds off the paired phone connection. If im out and about, sometimes i bring this and my N95 for 3G, otherwise it can also connect via standard Wifi.

I've modded it to look like the LCARS interface from your Star Trek control panel. The Nokia 770 runs on Debian Linux, with overlaying interface by Nokia's own Maemo. This device is where i first dabbled on Linux, when i needed a Linux Live CD to update the firmware of the 770.

If your eyes are sharp, the Nokia 770 was also used by Mr.Fantastic in Fantastic Four :Rise of the Silver Surfer whenever he needs to interface with the gadgetries he had in his lab, from the feed he gets from his sensors detecting Silver Surfer's presence to activating that disabling force field to trap the Silver Surfer.

how did u put the lanyard on your ipod touch? I dont see any holes on mine..hehe..

nice stuff by the way...

It that device of yours had been a little thinner, it would look more like an LCARS-based PADD....

if only the Touch can be modded into such interface....

yeah string how did u get the lanyard on?

The lanyard goes into the back of the cheapo silicone case, nothing special really. Anyone seeing clear case for the iPod Touch tell me, this silicone case is a temporary solution.

stringfellow, this look nice right? but don't know if it will be available to any Apple Reseller stores...

btw, the silicone case for the iTouch also nicely craft and good design.
