Surprisingly enough...

[gqstatus0685]

no one has really tweaked the Kaiser. I was browsing a website (hackaday).com and they do some crazy out of this world things. How come no one has figured out a way to put an IRDA port on a Kaiser or something really useful. I have steady hands and I'm good at opening stuff. Would that be possible to incorporate the IRDA port of lets say an Ipaq phone and install it in the Kaiser? I think this phone would be bad ass if I could control everything in my house with my phone. Just wondering if it was possible or if any of you guys were members of that website. What do you guys think.

I mean for gods sake. They turned a freaking phone into a TAZER. How freaking cool is that.

You know you are right!
I have a couple of jet skis - but it would be cool if I could say - "hey - I am out at the lake and forgot my jet skis - can I use my Kaiser for that?"

Can anyone here help me put a motor on the Tilt with an impeller and I guess I will need a seat?
;)

Oh - and now that it is a little larger - I will need someone to make a holder for me as well? (it will have to fit on my belt by the way.)

Ok I am aware of the thread opened for the IRDA port. I'm just saying no one has attempted to tweak a Kaiser.

One the website they turned an Xbox 360 into a Laptop, Wii as a Laptop, etc. The point I'm trying to make is that no one has attempted to play around with the inner workings.

*** Second Post, thanks for your sarcasm but it was pointless. Check out the website and you'll see what I'm talking about. There are people with amazing talent on that site.***

You are welcome - and everything does not have to have a point does it? If so the point was you can strap a bill on a goat but that does not make it a duck!

If you need the IRDA functionality - rather than take it apart - void any chance of a warranty - strap on a port wire it up - have additional issues - why not actually purchase a phone/unit with an IRDA port on it?

Re: there are people with amazing talent on that site -yup - over here our guys are toads - don't got a lick a sense between em. ;)

Several french fries short of a happy meal - the lot of us.

Well - that sums up my entertainment for the morning!

Anyway..... any other input from other people.

Bill why would I buy another phone if I like this one. That's like people buying a Honda and customizing it to their liking. (adding rims, spoiler, turbo tint, blah blah blah etc) They could buy Mugen Honda which has all that stuff combined but they'd rather prefer the satisfaction of doing it themselves. Catch my flow? I like my phone and want to mess around with it more that's all I was saying. I don't see anyone laughing so obviously either you are not funny or nobody cares what you have to say.

I personally have always thought of this site as great (or simple) minds getting together to improve the functionality of the phone not to see if we can turn our phones into something that no longer resembles a phone.With all the wild cooking and software development the basic premise of will it make it a better phone has always held.

How would this even work there is no hardware for it. It doesnt make any sense you think someone is going to engineer a new board and electronics for you ? If anyone had that kind of talent they wouldent be waisting it for free. :confused:

OK check out hackaday. THey have mad talent and they post instructions on how to do it yourself. So yes they do it for free most of the time.
