abhiiii 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 u r right rohit. but simputer is a very slow device. it runs on only 200mhz and to of arm RISC processor. and have only 32mb dram and 24 mb personal storage. when one will invest money then why one should not get a good device. and also it doesn't have wifi,bluetooth,ir, ..... why one should opt for SIMPUTER.

vmsanghrajka 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) Check Out Exclusive Origami Photos!! You've been hearing about Microsoft's mysterious Origami project for weeks. Now you can get a peek at the first Origami device, on display at the CeBIT electronics show in Germany. Martyn Williams (a correspondent with the IDG News Service and a regular contributor to our Digital World blog) has snapped one of the first pictures of the device. Take a look. Samsung Electronics is showing the device, a handheld computer that falls somewhere between a tablet PC and a PDA and runs a special edition of Windows XP. It will have ultra-mobile PC will run Microsoft's Origami version of XP Tablet Edition. This model has a 1.3mp camera and built-in GPS--that's the GPS antenna top left.

ronynandy 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 now i am facing one issue with it.in order to use internet on this device one should have wifi access.but i don't have. If you are ready to spend 1800 rs you can get your house Wifi enabled.The Wifi router can be used with any connection.Actually there are two types of routers as wifi comes with 3 standards 802.11 a,b,g. a and g support data rates upto 54 Mbps,a works on 5Ghz range,b on 2.4 Ghz range.b supports 11Mbps. There are two types of routers generally available one supporting b+g and othe other only b.b+g routers are costlier around 4500 .b routers are available at approx 1500 to 1800 Rs.b routers are more than enough for india as it supports 11 Mbps.One router i can recommend is linksys or SMC.I am using linksys. As you have spent a lot of money on the pc,i advise u go for the WiFi router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ronynandy 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 can u send me the details.and also tell me how can i setup wifi. from where can i get the necessary hardware in delhi. can i authenciate the users so that no one other then me can use this wifi(aas pados wale ) Go through the specifications of the pocket pc and ensure that 802.11b/g standard is specified.If there is support for 802.11b is specified you can ask any computer dealer to get you SMC router for 802.11 b.Make sure with the dealer that you can return if it doesent work cause interoperability can be a problem. It is available in ebay for 1500 last time I checked. In fact my linksys router came with a software which did the whole job and it was very easy to use. The router has many feature for wireless security (i)MAC address filtering.(ii)WEP which uses a static key for encrypting data(iii)WPA for dynamic key encryption.So,the whole thing is pretty secure.Setting the router to allow for only the MAC address of ur pc will prevent other user connect to the network.
