Technology Thread

[Dave_B]

Since there are plenty of us techs in here, we need a separate area for these kinds of things. Be is PC, phone, network, home theater...

<--- who just got an Android phone, has already rooted and loaded a custom rom. Now to start working on the over and under clocking while it's in and not in use.

NERDS!!!!!!

<----is also one....

[CivicBeater]

Which android did you get?

I'm holding out for the Incredible to be in stock.

[Dave_B]

I figure we, here talk about Technology stuff enough, we should have a thread to do so.

HTC Hero. While it doesn't have the Snapdragon 1 GHz, it was only $30 for the device (and will probably get a refund with the EVO comes out) since the price on the Hero will drop to nothing, and will be in my 30 days for price match.

I enjoy it, but can't see spending $200 on a phone that will be out of date in 3-6 months.

Ditto, but iPhone Kool-aid 4G is the hawt chit

[R-box]

OMFG this thread FINALLY exists!

[Comp97GSR]

Wth is Davis talking about? Posting from my HTC MyTouch

[cheezthis]

<-- G1 still, need to put cyanogen's 2.1 on it, but haven't yet due to the extra steps and time.

I program some home automation stuff if anyone is diving into that world.

[Bradstard]

Holy hell, I've become a gadget geek here recently and have spent WAYYYY too much money on crap I didn't need this year. I'm also waiting on the HTC Incredible. I'm looking forward to the 8 megapixel camera built in!

On a separate topic, does anyone know of a point and shoot that does 1080p video yet?

[itrsteez]

As far as a point and shoot I don't know of one with 1080p capability, if there was one then I would be highly skeptical on the frame rate, light sensitivity on a small sensor and compression used.

The best bang for the buck with 1080p is still the 7D or T2i

[Bradstard]

I want a T2i but can't find one for under MSRP in stock. Family vacation starts next weekend and I'd love to have it!

[itrsteez]

If I wasn't going on my trip on the 11th I'd just let you borrow the 5dizzle

I was messing with it about 30 min ago outside when ash was watering the plants, so here's a quick clip out of it. The picture out of this thing never ceases to blow my mind, and this is with the resolution cut down in half and compressed for web.

[coolhandluke]

As if we arn't nerds enough....lol

I'm holding out for Apple's announcement in June. I really want to finally be able to have an iPhone.

[Erik95LS]

I'm really loving the video out of these SLRs with good Canon glass

[itrsteez]

Here is the latest toy I just bought a few minutes ago. Coming to an IO port near you soon

[Erik95LS]

well you know how many cameras I'll have on mine. Hook it up y0!

[itrsteez]

definitely want to go nuts with a good multi cam shot, like 3 goproHD's (front, cockpit, rear) and a decent audio track all laid together.

[coolhandluke]

Yeah I really want to pickup an HD setup pre-expo...it may be tough.

[itrsteez]

ebay, there are tons for good prices on goproHD's

[Bradstard]

Canon T2i was just ordered and hope it comes in before we leave this weekend!

I broke down and ordered an Incredible last week. I got a spam text message from Verizon offering $50 off an upgrade, so I just bit the bullet and ordered instead of waiting for them to get back on the shelves.

[Dave_B]

Doh! LOL. Good work Pat.

<--- who is now testing his 3rd ROM so far.

[Bradstard]

Dave, I'll need help with that next month. You ever get the 3G hotspot to work?
