Re: [slim] External display for Transporter, Touch?
Laimjar, that looks really great! Could you please explain in more detail how you did this? Is the screen functional in any way - e.g., does the volume bar work, or is it just for display?

I thought you might be interested in reading this web page: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70838referrerid=20721 From, c3p0 I have now moved on to using vortexbox, so currently not running momento frame to display album art but it was an interesting project, as an aside also hooked up my laptop to the head phone output of my amp and using some music ID software was able to identify any music, cd, vinyl, squeezebox and display it too. There are some really cheap webrowser tablets out there that do wifi but are pretty poor compared to ipad so hence much cheaper ( 70-120) for 7 inch and above that would access the squeezebox HTML file. I know hmv were selling some. -- c3p0 c3p0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84622 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I know the standard version can't. Also, do you know if the USB touch screen can be connected to a computer that already has a monitor? I imagine it could and would function like any other 'peripheral' (e.g. a mouse).

Yes it's a simple mod to use full screen and the screensavers I am traveling at present but will share the files and some pictures if that would be of help over the weekend. -- linvale Squeezcenter running on ACER R1600 Windows XP Fileserver ReadyNAS Duo Main Listening Transporter / Controller Kitchen : SB3 Bedroom : Boom Bath : SBRadio Study: Duo linvale's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22828 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84622 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

A digital picture frame is exactly what I had in mind although I like the Mimo touch screen idea as well.

Re: [slim] External display for Transporter, Touch?
Many WiFi picture frames state they are web enabled but it most cases it means they can access sources such as Flicker, Facebook and others. They cant really just show a web page like a web browser does. There is maybe one who could do it: Samsung SPF-85V. According to the specs it has a mini webpage viewer for easy Internet access. http://www.digitalpictureframereview.com/2008/11/review-samsung-spf-85v There is maybe another possible candidate: the iGala http://www.igala.com/ I dont think the iGala supports Internet browsing yet but these people seem to be very open to suggestions. There have been other people asking for it. And they also have released an SDK so maybe some developers could even created a custom application on the iGala. -- Pascal Hibon 2 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom and 1 x SB Radio - all wireless ReadyNAS NVX running SBS iPeng on iPod Touch.

Yes, but I havent seen any frame yet who has built in web browsing capabilities. I dont know if that exist. Maybe there are some frames that would support using FTP but that would require a complete different plugin on SBS. I know there are picture frames that support email but in this case we would again need a different plugin on the SBS side. It can be done with an iPad of course but that is an expensive solution. I would like a solution with a picture frame because these are way less expensive and you could easily have multiple frames in different rooms. -- Pascal Hibon 2 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom and 1 x SB Radio - all wireless ReadyNAS NVX running SBS iPeng on iPod Touch.
