Seriously????


Weak





(ok, I'm kidding) - throw a bone to your loyal early adopters, testers, and advocates! I've been showing off my Redfly to all my friends.

Oh well, at least 11am ET is 8am here, so I won't have to wait long for whatever it is (I have my ideas and I hope I'm right).

Man! This could turn out to be a banner week. OLPC started their 2008 Give One, Get One on Monday, and now Celio has an announcement on Tuesday.

Nothing on the site as of 7:30am...I hope it is something for the blackberry!!!!

Anyone wanna make a prediction?
Here are my guesses:
BB and/or iPhone support
Got sling player to work
Lower price and/or extended the pricing program which ended yesterday.

 

[bcwatson]

I'm hoping it's the ability to watch videos.... youtube anyone?

 

[Aware]

what I'd love

new driver with improved video support via USB
a new partnership with Microvision
higher screen res support - e.g. native scaling of 1024x600 to fit 800x480 screen.

better?

REDFLY 2 annoiuncement with various hardware upgrades as per hopes posted in various threads.
free/heavily discounted upgrade from I to II if you bought in the last 30 days.

hey ... a man can dream, right?

 

[snovvman#CB]

I'm hoping for CDMA Diamond/Touch Pro drivers...

 

[btate0121]

My guess:

• New Drivers
• Support for video
• touch screen?
• New hardware with discounted upgrade price for early adopters?

it's 10am... one hour to go.

What I want:

A fix for the "two-button press" startup issue with the Treo 800w


What I expect:

iPhone or Blackberry driver

well?

Two versions

http://www.celiocorp.com/product/

http://www.celiocorp.com/product/specs.asp

 

[Aware]

Colour change to black for both versions

Cheaper, lighter version $229 = 5 hr battery

Heavier, more expensive version $299= 8 hour battery, View NTSC/PAL external video with media port.

800x600 VGA out with both.

 

[heavyharmonies]

I would be interested in the smaller version if it had a smaller footprint, but as long as the footprint is the same, I might as well keep the larger screen and higher battery life...

From what I can tell, the C8N simply has an additional "Media Port" for Pal/NTSC, or as an additional USB. Other than that, any other difference between it and the C8?

 

[Aware]

I'd like clarification on the video playing - is it that using the RedFly media cable lets you play video using your phone's media player? Or is something more going on?

Seems like the C8N has 8 inch screen instead of 7.

Seems like the C8N has 8 inch screen instead of 7.

But according to specs, the C8 has an 8" screen also.

Edit: So the $199 deal for the C8 was intended to clear out old-model inventory ?

 

[anon159272]

I also see new drivers...!!!

Driver page not working with FF3.1 Beta 1...trying IE 7...

got farther with IE 7 but still failing...guys, you did something wrong...I can get to "thank you for downloading the REDFLY drivers" but nothing ever downloads.


Edit: got it using Opera.

 

[btate0121]

I think the best 2 things about this is the wider screen and the new prices... BRAVO!

Still not as good a 199.. but it sure beats $400-$500.

i think the media port (if i understand it correctly) is pointless.. there's already a VGA out.. meh.. seems like a nice option.. but i'd rather have seen one of the other features people have been talking about around here... but i understand cost limitations so *shrug*.

I definitely think the sku offered first (the red one) was teh best one.. it's the C8 minus the larger screen and video out port.. but keeping that awesome battery. I do like the new color too!
