Up to:  Biker's CafeThis should be a good place for all purpose talks, better than interleaving our discussions with "Time Trial Champions" comments.
Vega | Phone ShoppingMy Treo 650 is still up and running, and I just got a brand new OEM battery, but I am out of contract since April and I qualify for a discount upgrade. So I'm looking at 2 different Verizon phones:
1. Samsung SCH-i760
2. LG Voyager
With the LG, I may not be able to do much with BoD. But with the Samsung, it's a full PDA with a stylus touchscreen and Windows '06 Pro. Do you think I could run BoD off that device if I got the Palm OS software on it? Could I play well enough to compete? Could I create levels? Oooooor> > > Is Sz planning on making BoD windows compatible anytime soon?

|  |  | thats an interesting button layout on the samsung... although i doubt you'll be playing bod on it any time soon unless theres some kind of palm emulator or SZ makes bod for windows which probably wont happen and if it does there will most definitely be put on a separate competition due to the fact that they are completely different platforms and windows devices usually have much better hardware than palms...which will more than likely affect times... |

| | | ya i know i had a dell axim x50v and jeez it was nice...until it broke... but it had a VGA screen and a full 16mg dedicated of video acceleration...the graphics were amazing, i cant even imagine BoD optimized for it  |

|  | | Vega, the phone part of my Treo 650 broke a few months back (when I turned the phone on, it would hang), so I canceled my service and have just been using the Palm OS on the phone to play BoD. I just have to upload my times using the SD card instead of doing over the air upload of the recordings.
SZ told me he is porting BoD to Windows Mobile. He said it is a good starting point for porting to other platforms as well. I have no idea when he would do that, but I believe that is his plan (as of Sept 23 when he told me that).
I have a Treo 700w (runs Windows Mobile) and an iPaq (that runs Windows Mobile 5.0). I tested Styletap running BoD on both devices and it ran just fine, except that I could only figure out one way to turn the bike around and that was to assign the turn around function to tapping a spot on the screen. I used the 'other' option for balance left and balance right.
The Treo 700w ran it exactly like my Treo 650 with Palm OS runs it. It felt exactly the same (except the not having the middle button turn around--which is a problem).
On the iPaq, since the screen is so much bigger, it stretched some of the graphics, so it was kind of blocky. You can tell it not to stretch the screen but that makes for just a small box in the middle of the bigger screen, which works, but is kind of small.
Either device would be fine running on Styletap if we could find a way to get the middle button to turn around.
By the way, I am not a fan of Windows Mobile. It is not as user friendly, stable, or as fast as Palm OS. 
I'll keep using my good old PalmOS until there is a DS or PSP version.  |
