I still remember the first printer I had back in 1989, it was “color” dot-matrix printer, top-of-the-line and cost me(or my dad) couple hundred bucks. It was so cool to see bunch of MS-DOS text printed in color, those were the days you rejoiced because you had 256 different colors and printing one page took only a minute.
Well, here’s a cool DIY project to remind you of that, a DIY smartphone dot-matrix printer (sorta) that you have to hold manually. Actually it’s more like art and prints
If you live in an area where it’s freezing cold and you have to wear gloves all the time, it will be near impossible to use your smartphone whether that be an Android or iPhone.
For that, you can get a smartphone capacitive stylus. (A bunch of them on Amazon for around $10-15)
Of course, you can also make them
Did you know I (Max) was the first person ever in the world to put Ubuntu running on “top of” an Android device? Other people probably figured it out soon or later but I did think of doing it first. *patonmybackhaha
Yesterday I had the pleasure of putting Ubuntu on my G2 Phone and even started a new site dedicated to running Ubuntu and linux alongside with Android devi
Last year, Optoma launched their PK301 Pico Projector at CES 2010. This year at CES 2011, I had the pleasure of viewing their latest flagship product, the Optoma NEO-i DV20A, which basically is like the PK301 but more.
The all-new Optoma NEO-i DV20A is not only a pico projector but
Adzookie sent me this video of what if Santa had an iPhone (and they are offering some free mobile advertising for busineses), check it out!
Remember the Droid hack for making a USB host? Well, I guess that hack can work for most Android-based smartphones plus any regular USB keyboard will be recognized if you simply plug it in.
Android sees the keyboard, and as Chris says, “It Just Works.” A similar process was replicated and tested successfully on an HTC Hero as well, so odds are decent that many other Android phones can use USB-OTG to host a keyboard. No additional drivers were needed for either the Droid or the He
Celio’s Redfly Mobile Dock is now available in Europe, soon to be available here in the U.S. (I think). This Redfly Mobile Dock basically allows you to use your smartphone sorta like your laptop, allowing you to connect an LCD monitor and keyboard.
While you might think this is redundant and why in the world would y
Here’s a great way to make a car-mount for your smartphone such as an iPhone, Nexus One, or even a Palm Pre. I think this is the best one I’ve seen so far that makes use of cheap PVC pipes and craft foam. That’s all there is to it!
(I am making one of these soon for my new Nexus One, which btw does navigation flawless, I mean flawless really!)
Luckily for me, the original (super boxy) XB has an assortment of odd “spaces” in the dash. These make a perfect place to attach a rock solid, quick and dirty $2 mount that’ll take less t
