Will xda-developer open new forum for Xda Atom?

[sim1]

I like the model very much!! But I heard it is not the HTC model, anyone knows there are any forum for the Atom?

I believe xda-developers.com should start working on phones made by other companies, not just HTC...

we have very nice PPCs coming into the market everyday, M600, XDA ATOM, Gigabyte g-smart Pocket PC phone, and the list is growing...

so, IMHO, I think people here should think of opening new sub-forums for these new devices, as of many folks here are changing their devices due to better performance and nicer models ( this is not true for all HTC models )

As the name implies this site is devoted to xda's and their development , ie HTC handsets so there is no reqquirement to create a forum for non HTC devices!

Dont mean to rain on your parade.

Perhaps I am mistaken but isn't XDA a brand name of O2 meaning
(x)DA as opposed to PDA ??
Which would really mean this site is for O2 developers which clearly
isn't the case.
And yes this is explained on the front page where they say the domain
name is very misleading and this site is really for discussing HTC hardware.

And yet here we are talking about Quanta hardware and there is no thunder and lightning. why can't we all just get along!

IMHO (no flame pls! :twisted: )

I do second the creation of more sub-forums. Like it or not, this forum has become a convergent point of like-minded Mobile PPC PDA-phone users from all over the world.

BUT (yes, there is always the buts)

it will be pretty hard on the moderators to keep a tab on all these sub-forums and make sure that things don't get too haywired around here.

SO, 4 suggestions:

(a) For all the moderators of other similar forums in their home countries to owe up, provide a description for their forum and the URL link. There might be a great ETEN M600 forum going on in a English forum in Taiwan, and we might be missing out on the discussions.

(b) For volunteers to be sub-moderators of the sub-forums in this place. More content means more hard disk space, something which will run out eventually if old stuff are not deleted. For the sake of democracy, we can put this to a vote, and see if we should start deleting stuff which has been here for 6 months or more.

(c) Perhaps one generic sub-forum (wiki?) for newbies "Request for Help", and we put in place some messaging protocol like putting in a tag @ the subject line as <RFH:<model>:<help message> e.g. "RFH:Qtek9100:Camera not working!!!! HELP!".

(d) Perhaps create one more generic sub-forum (wiki?) for evaluating software, patch releases by the helpful community here???


Just putting some thoughts here to make this a better and more useful forum for all.

oh, and Happy Holidays!!!
