WM6 Vibrating Alert on Athena

[AMoosa]

Hi All,

All the specs for the Athena state that vibrating alert is supported. However, I can find no way of switching this on. The Universal has a vibrating option in the volume control, but not the Athena. Are the specs wrong?

I don't think that there is vibrate functionality on the Athena. The specs I've seen don't have this as a feature. Maybe the site you're reading it from has it wrong?

First - please post in the correct place (Athena\Athena for this one) - this thread is for WM6 issues ;)

As to vibrating, sonme sites just got this wrong. The Athena has a spinning hard drive in it - vibration would not be good!

Not to mention the bloody tablet side would probably fall down if it were shook that much!

That is incorrect! The Athena has a USB flash drive in it and NOT a mechanical (i.e. "spinning") hard drive.
The Athena does not have the vibrating alert feature.
Hope this helps.........Later

Wrong yet again!!!!

The Athena has a real mechanical/spinning HD in it.
Its an 8GB Microdrive from Hitachi. IT IS NOT A SOLID STATE DEVICE...
It uses a PATA ZIF connector (Same interface Protocol as an older desktop HD, but different connector) not USB...

You got there before I could. There is a suggesiton that some later models have / will abandone the spinning microdive for solid state memory.

BTW if you play music from the MD but turn the volume off, you can even hear it spinning if you put the unit to your ear:D
