as the sun said to the black hole I have a few odd Questions about my orbit.

[matisamd]

Hi all thanks for all yuor help.

Does anyone know if i can get sky on deman, 4OD on my XDA orbit ? Also when i try and stream radio off i player i have to open it in real player wont play in browser any ideas ?

Cant seem to get iplayer working on the video side either.

Also when i try and watch a utube mobile video i get errors and it wont play.

Can it handle any kind of Direct X ? might have to go find that old doom game i had back on my simbian thing.

On the overclocking is there any kind of stabiility tester ?

Also is there any way to hack a normal XP exe file to mobile compatible installer / program.

anyone recomend a really cheap tarrif no txts needed no more then 60 mins needed but unlimited web access would be the aim.

Oh and for all of you that havent tried it ( i havet tried it on this device but i beleave it should work will update) have a look at orb.com its a way to stream all yuor PC media to any device with a browser kinda nifty :)

Oh and i know the answers no on this one but wares the video out ? just a composite out would have been nice via the usb.

oh and anyone use a radio transmitter thing for ipods to radios if so recomend a good one and the same for stereo bluetooth headphones.

Oh and though i will try this later i have a blue tooth mouse mogu, think it will work ? :)

its not essential i am just explorring the limits of the device.

only dissapointment was no IR was going to be auniversal remote for my home and work and many other places i guess i should have checked more but i read on one review it has IR :/

thanks any ideas hear say thoughts welcome :)

oh and anyone know of a way to get the radio on without the headphones in i realise it uses as an aerial but i guarantee it can work without it, i had a lobster with DVB that worked with just a paper clip in it and as long as it was in one place ie put down while i worked it picked up a few stations so FM should easily trump that.

Also a good case that will stop it cracking when i drop it which i will. Just trying to get all my questions out :) any thought are welcome.

oh yea anyone got information on what the mini usb can out through put ie i guess 2 connectors of the 4 are power and 2 data ? i ask as at my work we use a GUI interface with touch screen and if i had that running on this little XDA i could slack for a motnh on the praise alone ;) hehe ( the gui works on registry entries so i guess it probably wont work but that leads me back to earlier questions..

How much does WM6 differ from XP or should i ask is there any similarities ?


Yup i think thats all the questions that i have ben mulling :)

[matisamd]

lol not quite i have thought of 6 or so questions since, can this thing join my local netwrok lan and can it have shared folders and resources.

i'm sorry i know people like to go into depth on one subject but thats far too slow for me and you ya realise how short life is lol ;) i am investigating all these but any help welcome :)

oh and orbit deffinetly better name the artimes sounds like an art room cleaner or a failed gladiator :s right thats it i am going to do somthing not connected to xda's lol. i think its kartrider.com time online mario kart wicked :D - oh fyi i want this on my xda if i figure out earlier answers ;)

Jeeeez man, dont ask for much LOL. Ill try to answer as many as possible for you as best I can.

1 - SKY on Demand = Nope not yet (check out (http://anytime.sky.com/need/mobile_step2.aspx) which you should have done.

2 - iPlayer not working = To what end. I take it you having issues streaming media? Dont think it will work.

3 - Youtube = Dont bother, seriously. Artemis (Orbit) doesnt srteam it properly, and if you can get it to stream, the video will very VERY choppy.

4 - DirectX = Why? What you wanting to run? As far as I know the Orbit should support Direct3D OK.

5 - Overclocking = Sure, overclock it until it stops responding. Seriously. Peoples results vary on each device. Mine I manage to get to 273.

6 - ??? = Why?

7 - Web Tariff = Think Vodafone Pay n Go do a good tariff which gives you unlimited browsing for small price. Dont keep me to that though, I dont bother with GPRS/EDGE browsing.

8 - Orb.com - Dont need it, I have my home network connected to my PDA and I just stream what I want via wifi through Coreplayer.

9 - Video out = Dunno if there is one. There is a diagram around here of the out outputs, Ill see if I can find it (or maybe someone else can help).

10 - Radio transmitter = Just google for one man. (example (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12065.htm)) (Google results (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=V9d&q=bluetooth+radio+stream+windows+mobile&btnG=Search&meta=))

11 - Bluetooth Mouse = Again Why? Surely for you to be able to see the screen decent enough, you will be holding the Orbit anyway. Seems like a it would be a pointless/lazy bluetooth add-on.

12 - Radio without headphones = YEs you can obtain an adaptor that will plug iinto your mini usb and act as an aerial. Some/most also have a headphone jack so you can use your own headphones (probably your iPod headphones in your case) example (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/11-Pin-Mini-USB-Wireless-FM-Radio-Transmitter-Charger_W0QQitemZ150134591006QQcmdZViewItem?hash=i tem150134591006&_trksid=p3286.c33.m20.l1116)

13 - Good Case = Try GPSforless (http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/), they usually have good deals on all sorts (probably have that FM adaptor too).

14 - Attatch to monitor = Dont think it would work anyways. Dont think it would be able to output more than 240 x 320 pixels anyway so itll be the same as th Orbit screen (pointless).

15 - WM6 different than XP = Ehm.......in what areas?? Its a mobile platform so yeah it differs alot, or is quite similair (in respect to using a registry, etc..).

16 - Access Network - Yes it can definately access your network and shared folders. Dont think PC can access it over network though.

Phew !! Well thats me. Please feel free to correct me on anything thats not right (Im sure there is plenty LOL)
