Coolest thing YOU do with your NX...

[Badandy]

What is the coolest thing YOU do with yoru NX?

Ill start-

DEFINATELY win-hand. WIth winhand I can:: (through wlan card)

Be at any AP in the world, and start up winhand. Then I can just navigate to msn explorer on my laptop (but viewing it on my clie) and attach a file from my comps. hd and send it to myself. Then I go into Clie Mail (all wlan) and sync it up with the email I just sent. It goes onto my CLie, and Viola! A file that was on my comps HD now onto the Clie.



I think that is cool, so everyone chip in with what you do with your NX>

[Pwnisher]

I use mine to take snapshots of work in progress while on the job. I send out daily progress reports and updated time sheets along with discription of work or issue's that need to be resolved. This works great for job tracking and a visual reference is very impressive. I can do all this and email from either my cellphone right on the job site or from wireless LAN connection when I return.

Playing movies on Airplane flights is a nice bonus too! =)

[OcellNuri]

I own it. :D I'm still amazed that I own it.

[Tek Phreak]

Everyone in my classes seems pretty impressed when i pull it out to take notes on. No notebooks, i just pull it out of my pocket and type on the built in keyboard. I can probably type pretty close to 40 wpm w/ it, and i've never fallen behind while typing it, well unless it's an occasion where the handwriting people do too.

I would have to say that I can do some pretty cool stuff with my NX70v.

This will probably just turn into a feature list of the NX, but...

So I got the Second Screen TV deal working, so it is a TV guide.

I can web browse with it via wireless.

I am on a Mac, so I use Missing Sync, and iSync to do syncs. It works great and all adresses go onto my palm, and the ipod, and my computer.

I can use Virtual PC to sync wirelessly, unless I have my airport extreme card installed in my Mac, in witch case I can't get a real IP address on Virtual PC, thus a no go...

I can use it to control my TV's and VCR's, my XBox dvd player....

take video, audio and pictures I have taken with the NX and upload it to an ftp server, download from the FTP server, send emails, and do AIM!

I am not going to go any further. this thing is almost as cool as my new G4 1.42Ghz machine. minus the dvd burner and dual 20inch monitors... I think the better question is what can't I do with it... and that would be only 1 thing... wardrive. :( oh well, hopefully soon. Thanks for a place to brag.

[mad212]

i made a few short flicks, and am very intrested in a small movie competition. you can see my first try at http://mad212.com/video/index.htm not much but i think it would be a fun thing to do. maybe cliesource could host it :D

I use it to take notes as well . But dont you think the noise the keys make when you press them is annoying in a quiet class? (no, not the beep noise, the little click sound they make) I mostly use the stylus. I just wish there were an app i could take notes with (in text form not drawing notes with the clie memo app.) and draw diagrams on at the same time...

[Glacialeye]

Once I went to a Sony shop wich had about 40 Sony TVs. I turned off them all with one only RMC command... The result was impressive! I laughed all the afternoon long...

[caipro]

it has to be the fact that i can post on cliesource while im sat on the side of the pool ....ahh i love my nx and BT MS

[NETO]

Remote for my tv,dvd,playsation,stereo........I'm trying to play movies not working yet but It will....ebooks....I love to read...wireless acces with my wireless lan card(not working yet,,but It will)

[boogie]

FTP. I can ftp files to and from my NX using the wireless card from anywhere I get a wireless connetion. I also like syncing from anywhere to my main compute via wireless.

[cerberus]

I guess my greatest use is photographing documents when I'm on an intelligence gathering mission. Then using my Bluetooth memory stick to upload the photos to my Sony-Ericsson T68i and sending the PGP encrypted data to CIA HQ in Langley. If anyone reads this, I'll have to hunt you down and kill you because this is classified information.

BTW, what FTP program do you use?

[mad212]

yea there is a ir and remote you can pick up at most best buys or electronic stores

[Pdasrock]

I use mine for

Books
In class note, assignments
Mp3player
Tv remote(I try to hit circuit city once a month:D )
Camera
Video camera
Gameboy(WHEN in the WORLD will gambit finally make a native arm emulator so we can use gb advance and such???)
Dictionary
Bible

I also use this to impress girls... usully hooks the guys though, and the girls don't really care. Then I'm left with some wierdo playing with my precious pda.:mad: :D

[kf6gpe]

Updating my LiveJournal account with both text and pictures. I can snap a picture, annotate it, and post it directly to LiveJournal with my WiFi card.

[Pdasrock]

Ok, you mean you have the infrared port for your playstation? I think you should be able to control it with remote commander, especially since playstation is from sony.

Best Buy is a store here in the U.S. that sell lots of electronic stuff. One reason you hear a lot about them is people complaining about their policies and talking about the recent sale in the wlan100 wifi card for 16.99(I missed it!!! KILL ME) Cheers

[cum456]

I use the Mp3 player all the time. I take pictures, record videos, etc. I use all of its main functions. I have almost filled up my 64 mb MS. 4 mb's left.

It's called "vfsftp"
Checkout: http://www.ninelocks.com/vfsftp/vfsftp.html
I think it's a must have app.

[pharmnatr]

Take pictures and movies of my 2 kids. When I'm at work and miss them I fire it up and watch them for a few minutes. When customers want to see pics of my kids, I some them movies. I dont know what they are more amazed at, how cute my kids are or how cool my nx-70 is. Either way I'm the proud papa of both!

Gosh . . . compared to you all, I don't do anything cool. My favorite thing is READING.

[Eddy]

Have you all been to one of those local coffee/bakery shops in HKG or down in Chinatown somewhere, where they have like a TV there? Sometimes I dislike their channel and can use the remote function and change the channel myself without being noticed! Makes your time go alot faster during your lunch hour! :D

[nandaiyo]

i can't get my NX remote app to control my Playstation 2's DVD functions.

I have the PS2 remote controller + IR dongle that goes into the controller port, but no matter what config I try, it does not respond? :(

[nandaiyo]

got it to work!! :D

Settings:
---
Category DVD
Maker Sony
Mode: Mode1

It works with the Sony PS2 remote and IR. Too bad the PS2 doesn't support remote power on/off.

[edit] Unfortunately, the Clie can only control functions once the DVD is playing. It does not control Playstation functions such as the browser, or controls during games. That's what threw me off.

[sstrasser86]

for Xbox it's RCA mode 1

[UZI4U182]

When I get my NX and wifi, I plan to be using Winhand, doing everything I would do on my main computer. Hoping that Photoshop isn't too slow on it! [:D] I'll also send emails, FTP stuff to update my websites, AIM, web surfing....wow, and I could do all of this while taking a sh*t.

[Paakman]

the coolest thing I can do is take pictures of wires and installs for future knowledge and info I can submit to HQ for further relay to others in the same field ( and I do that via wireless email to a AP)

thats integration....

[gambit_b]

i use mine to watch tv programs that come on that i cant watch because of work. i record them on my computer and then put them on my nx70. i also put movies from dvdsi own to take with me and watch on trips. i can get about 2 hours of vid on one 128 stick

[Pdasrock]

Rick 098,

You say bb is still getting more of the wlan100 cards in?? That'd be really good, hope you're right. Their rebate was supposed to expire on the 12 though right? Are you gonna use the sony one? Thanks, cheers

[Rick 098]

i MY STORES ITS STILL ON CLERENCE ,oh sorry, caplock, They might have new rebates.

[dirtmerchant]

Hmm... Coolest thing... That would have to be the amateur porn video my wife and I made with it.

[abosco]

I think the coolest thing I do on my NX would be multitasking without overhead. I mean, just look at this list:

I can have NetFront running a webpage in the background while there is AIM with 20 IM windows open, which is also all in the background to Sheet To Go, which is on the screen, while my attention is on the graffiti area where a silk calc is as I calculate a total to enter it into the spreadsheet, and all of this is in the foreground as I play some Metallica in the background.

So let's see, that's a web-browser, 20 IM sessions, spreadsheet, calculator, and MP3 player all at the same time.

Gotta love it!

Pocket P-what? :D

[phatsumo82]

The COOLEST thinkg about having my nx on me at all times?  Its a Flash light when ever i need one!

My NX has saved me from manny a stubbed toe..:p

[aenox]

I live in NC, USA. And sad to say it, if you havent picked up a WiFi card for 16.99 yet. You wont. I was talking to the BB guy at the PDA counter (he actually knows what hes doing!) and the Cards will be coming back at a 10 reduced price.

Better luck elsewhere in the US.

[Michael Quach]

I've taken quick video clips of patients that may have been having seizures. I then Clie-Mailed it to the local neurologist, who then called the them up for an immediate appointment :)

This is probably the coolest thing I've done....

[hherbzilla]

Wow... I so much want an NX now! I didn't realize you could do so much. Now to convince my wife that it's a good idea!

[kenbotwinick]

This probably isn't the coolest thing I do with my Clie, but it sure is fun.

Ever get sick of all the TVs or radios in a department store with the volume up full blast while you're trying to concentrate on something else?

Clie Remote Control to the rescue. I love muting those things all the time. The workers in the stores have no idea what happened. :-)

I have a wicked ToDo list. Also creating quite a large address book too.

Guess I'm the only one to use it as a PDA ? ;)

[walkersmafhcc]

and I'm brand new to the pda world, so I don't have much to offer, but I do love this thread. I wish there were a way I could get together with a group of CLie users and see some of this stuff in action.

Gimme a couple of weeks to learn how to use all this stuff and I'll be hooked too.

[vincent_tech]

Sex Aid, nuff said.

[samsitedesigns]

first of all you can use it as a camera.. and take candid pictures of your friends :) and send it to their email! boy what surprise that would be. ^_^

 

[Badandy]

NOONE FOLLOW THE LINK> It is not relevent. rldunn, please ban this guy.

[Ghosty]

I have to say the coolest thing I did was to find an access point right outside my apartment accidently.

the sad thing is that I can't get the signal inside my house, but I will have something to do next time when I am standing outside smoking.

[UZI4U182]

You could get one of those cellphone signal enhancer things, i hear they work with several wireless products. Maybe it will work on your NX!

[Ghosty]

yeah, not a bad idea to have a try on it, then it will be the next coolest thing I do with my NX... "using free internet connection with my NX at home~~~"

but... do those signal enhancer work for real? (I mean on cell phone)

[abosco]

Of course not.

[fjs]

am I the only one to look simpsons episodes on it ?

[msmaron]

just got it so I have not had real time to play, having too much trouble mounting a Mem Stick right now....help!!!!

[no3minus]

I use the traditional organizer functions (address book, date, book, memo, to d0 list).

I store images for viewing

Occasionally use the camera to record something bizarre (pig drinking cappuccino, anyone?)

I play games (some of the enhanced 5.0 games rock!)

And just yesterday, I got a WLAN card and began surfing via T-Mobile Hot Spots at Starbuck's

Wow, I could not believe the stories about using the remote to control the TV's in bar, etc.

Every remote I have ever had took a good chunk of time and a lengthy instruction booklet to program. So I discounted this one in the Clie, even was unhappy when I could not delete it because I need every bit of memory.

But after reading the items on this thread about controling TV's in public places, I tried it on our home computers and was able to instantly control 3 of 4 of our TV's, all older models.

What power! Now in our favorite dive, I can turn up or down the sound, change channels. I am really jazzed, bless Sony.

Sony is close to becoming a God in my mind.

[Halesy]

I haven't done the coolest thing I want to do yet. At the moment I watch Red Dwarf on the bus into town. What I want to do is watch streaming video of my football team (soccer team for those of you in the US) via my WiFi card. Need to support Windows Media Player or Real Player to do this though - I'm sure it's only a matter of time (if it's there already???)

[nlode]

I watch The Simpsons too, and plus South Park, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I love playing Aggression and TableTennis3D too!!

[MichelS]

Playing with the remote while my 6 years old was watching beeblade or pokemon or whatever! He got so puzzled! People are also impressed when I show them my address book with picture of the reps. And of course showing small videoclips of my kids!

[Unregistered]

The coolest thing i am going to do with mine is buy it later today : ). Can anyone recomend any Anime Backgrounds, or the best thing to put a background on with?

[spikehed]

The coolest thing I do pisses my wife off. I sit on the can while browsing the internet and play a full game of Aggression (coolest game ever on the NX). Which can take some time...

[Bill Veik]

Proving my bank teller looked good by snapping a picture-earned a date

impromptu photos/video of my little nephew comedian (4 yrs old) coming out of his bedroom wearing his pull-up underwear on his head, wearing another pair on his arn like a purse

playing MP3's, meeting notes, Anthony Robbins tapes, etc. all day long

Shopping lists, ToDo Plus, tracking my car's expenses, operating my on-call duties with Docs to Go Spreadsheets, the list is endless.

[Baloo]

Now I am going to sound real geeky and these two things may not seem that cool but...

The Number 2 spot goes to the photos I can take of PC's in different offices that i have to inventory so I do not need to write down LLLOOOOONNNNGGGG serials numbers on site and have proof of condition.

Number 1 for me is another of my hobbies, geocaching ( http://www,geocaching.com ). I have over 500 waypoints I work with that I download to my GPS. The corresponding descriptions, a page or two of text each ) I download to my Clie using Mobipocket to read and search them.

Makes things REALLY simple for me out in the boonies.

Of course there are qalways the really cool things I do like keeping my phonebook and appointments in it like I hear some people use their PDA's for.:p

[Unregistered]

geocaching sounds cool, even something that I could do on my own... damn it. I shouldn't have read this post, now I am interesting in finding a gps device for my clie.. It does sound at least entertaining to try finding them for the adventure of it, and the added excercise of the walk would be helpful *lol*

[(oyo)]

The coolest thing I did with my was getting a job from it. In an interview, I start to take note into it and my boss ask me about it. Next thing I know I got the job... ;^)

[giantrock]

Besides as a GREAT digital photo album, never ceases to bring the oohs and ahhs, it's using the recording feature at a click of a button to record my baby's laughter. Babies can be so unpredictable and catching my darling boy laughing is always a challenge. Whenever, the opportunity springs up, I'll put my trusty NX besides him to record his laughter. You can check it out on my baby journal site for him at

http://www.rock.per.sg

Hoping to catch him saying his first few words... :)

[pollyg]

OK, you got me to go to your site and look at great pictures of your darling baby. Tempted me into downloading your logo freeware, now how do I get them into DateBk5. They show up in the info, section of the menu on the Clie opening screen, but I can not find them else where.

Thanks for dropping by! :)

To add the freeware icons into your personal collection, I recommend you use Icon Manager (http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=47054) to copy all the icons into your collection.
You can find a freeware version of Icon Manager included in all the M3 series iconset (http://www.palmgear.com/software/answer.cfm?sid=727FAC84-92FB-488B-9EC9C17727CFDD87&userIDsel=1000112898&searchtitle=Applications%20by%20Peter%20Ong) . In it there is also a graphical tutorial on how to use Icon Manager to create your own personal set. Enjoy!

[Nate1749]

I use tomerader and their movie database (from imdb.com) a lot...

Also get movie times (was using showtimes but now get them through a channel from avantgo), and tv guide (pocket tv browser + tv grid listing) , and weather (worldmate).

I like to record stuff, but don't like lugging a camcorder around; so a b-day at a bar or stripclub is perfect for the clie.

I also have a million login's and passwords that I would never be able to remember without SplashID; additional the program Open remember the hours of stores and tells me how much longer they're open (or until they open). I shop and eat out a lot so Open helps out a lot; also vindigo I'm still deciding on. Seems to be more of a pain than functional though (except to see whose playing in town over the next few weeks and where); but if you can use it you can get directions, restaurant reviews, event listings, etc.

PocketBar is always a favorite at parties (and helps too!), and everyone gets a laugh out of PalmSutra. I

don't do the email thing from my palm, but a lot of times I will have important messages/notes/numbers that I receive in e-mail so I use iambic mail just so I can always see an email if I need to.

Latly though I havn't been using it that often, it's getting kind of a pain to carry around all the time (since the weather is nice I don't wear my jacket as much).. I also hate busting it out in public, but I still like it a lot, just not using it as much =(

The Valet backed another car into mine. I took a pic of the acccident damage, the two cars together, the valet moving the car and my witness by the sign of the parking garage.

[Halesy]

To get Simpsons on your CLIE you need to download from elsewhere e.g. Kazaa Lite, and convert to CLIE format yourself.

[smithsp]

Change channels and adjust the volume on televisions at the airport or in any public place, and nobody knows who dunit.

[Winston Mew]

I love using my NX to preview pictures and movies I have taken with my Sony F707. I just swap the memory stick from the camera to my NX and everything shows up. Once I get my 512 mb Sandisk CF card and the driver, I think I should be able to use it to transfer the pic's and movies from the memory stick to the CF card. Think this will be great for when I am on holidays as I won't need to take my notebook along to unload the files to.

[CopyCat]

The coolest thing I do with my Clie is show it off!

[daveytr]

I live in a very RURAL part of Pennsylvania, USA; so not too many people have seen very many PDA's, let alone a NX70! I eat lunch with kids a school every week (I'm a Kids Pastor) and they love gettign their picture taken. It amazes the teachers when I pull up and Accuweather map of our area, or if I put an orange mustache on their picture using the Photo Editor. Or if I show someone a movie that I took and converted to my Clie. Or if I show them where they live using Mapopolis or Handmap. Wherever I go, it turns a lot of heads. And that's not even counting the over 700 names and addresses, or my datebook, or using MyBible, or using a word processor on it.

[Pdasrock]

  Hey daveytr,

Where do you get accuweather maps from? Avantgo? I live in DE, so the same maps would probably work. Cheers

You might be able to help me.
I registered, and when I got to the registered download, it just downloaded the trrial version.
??

[abosco]

You have to check your email. You'll get two emails, the first being a confirmation email with your order number, and the second to tell you that you've been entered into the database. Go to the link that is given in the second email and enter your order number. You'll then be taken to a screen where you can add up to three separate device ID's to get keys. What you do is enter the device ID that is in the TableTennis app. You enter the device ID, and you'll get a 1 KB download that you install which gives you the full version of TableTennis3D. Then, if you ever upgrade, you just enter the device ID of that Palm into the key generator on the web page and you'll have the full version on that Palm.

[Jonathan_2k1]

I don't have a Clie (but I do admire them in Future SHop/Best Buy). I'll tell you the best use for any PDa that I know of.

Being 12.5 years old (shh...don't tell the mods), I have to prove that I am a geek. An encyclopedic knowledge of PDAs isn't always enough. That's why I whip out my IIIe as my Geek Pass Device. However, once it backfired. After I had gathered a small crowd, I showed the IIIe. They were silently disgusted at my ownership of such an old PDA. I lost a few geek points there.

The second good use is WinHand. It drains the AAAs like crazy, but it is so cool. It would be much better on an NX though ([drools] WiFi, 320x480 screen, rechargable battery)

[JwY]

i took mine out today and ppl went sooo balistic!
damn they kept thinking i was rich or something,
but i'm not, i just chose to invest in a nx70v instead of dining at expensive places and buying expensive clothes and so on....

[Sensei]

The coolest thing, I can take pictures of my homework, type it in, ppl in my class are amazed by the camera and the ability to control TVs. ;) But the best of all, watching video porn! :p I got a 10min clip on there. lol

Seeing you didn't get an answer from the original poster, yep, you can get accuweather maps -- satellite, radar, current conditions, forecast -- through avantgo. And it's free!

How did you get it to work with the Playstation and Stereo?

[Pdasrock]

  Thanks chummy! Unfortunatly I can't use avantgo because my parents set my account on "mature teen" meaning no external programs can access the internet. I tried taking the proxy settings in AIM(which does work) and using that port  to connect with avantgo, but it didn't let it though. I might be getting cable soon though, so if I do, I wiill be able to use avantgo(I have my own firewall, so maybe I can convince my parents to leave my precious ISP alone...).

[Nate1749]

ikes, a netnanny, that sucks. Well not to go against mom & dad, but you could 1) get a shell 2) put a key logger on ur computer to capture their password and go change it.

[Unregistered]

Haha, I love the advice. What's a shell? Is that something that uses one connection but lets other programs use it? Sounds like fun, maybe I'll try it... As for the logger, well, I have one that would do the job perfectly, but if I actually go on their account and mess around with the controls, my mom would find out, and make it even worse(young teen, AAAUUUGGGHHHH!). My main issue is kazaa. I miss it....

[pdasrock]

Oops, last post was me... cookies got deleted, forgot to log back in.

[Nate1749]

that really sucks..... if I were you i'd deliver some papers and mow some lawns this summer and buy a fairly cheap ~$600 laptop for yourself.... and stay away from those dirty websites so ur mom won't ban ur internet!

[handi]

I use it for taking instant image of the students in my classroom.
Then we send the pics over to the PC's and work with them in MS Ofiice and Photoshop

:D

Well, I'm still finding cool things to do with my NX. the latest powerpoint presentation on a handheld.. impressive, movies, remote controller, spy camera, wireless internet from my back yard, and at work using it to save time setting up jobs with the use of the camera.. this baby is a wonderful tool

Actually, I just got a laptop(was going to be delivered this morning, but I didn't hear them knock): 1800+ athlon, 30gb, 256 ddr, 15" tft, dvd+cdrw=drooling. My mom didn't ban my internet cause I was doing anything bad, just because it automatically blocks that stuff out. I don't mind that to much(besides, if I cared, there are a million ways around it) it's just that now aol acts like an out of control firewall blocking ANYTHING that tries to use the connection besides aim. It even blocks out windows update, so I can't fix an IE issue that's been getting on my nerves because I can't download any updates. Praying for cable...

By the way, what is a "shell"? You have me really interested now...

[reno]

My favorite is to sit in my backyard and stargaze, using Planetarium. If I see anything interesting (or just get bored) I look it up on the web, using the WL-100 (with NetFront), since my home WiFi net reaches the yard (as well 3 of my neighbor's houses).

[reno]

I didn't do this myself, but thought it was pretty cool. A guy I know brought his NX to the opening of Matrix Reloaded, and taped the whole thing (about 2.2 128M memory sticks). The quality was actually pretty good for a small screen. He did it strictly for personal use, so I really don't see anything wrong with it.

[lthwc]

The coolest thing? Making my own movies. If I could figure out how to insert the special effects I'd be set.

And if I could just remember to look into the camera lens instead of at the LCD...

[sp535]

For me that cooliest thing would be not wasting 20 min of train trip to office in the morning and evening, reading books and movies.

Still this small machine amazed me simply by its presence.

[CoolDoctorJ]

Coolest thing I did was use the voice recorder to record our second show when the UCMB did the studio recording thing... just put it on the music stand and let it go...

For those of you saying "Why not just get the studio recording?" our band director is kinda flaky about that and never distributed it. Therefore I now have the only recording outside his office :-)

[Rogue Banana]

I use my Clie to take snapshots of whiteboards after design sessions. Then I use MS Import to punt them up to my PC and e-mail them as meeting minutes to everyone who was in the meeting.

Even cooler, though, is being at a sports bar and changing the channel on the TV closest to me to the right game, or turning on the closed-captioning if I can't hear it. No one knows WTF is happening. ;^)

[gambit_b]

i dont know if anyone else has thought of it yet, but i load my campact flash card(now that there is a driver) full of mp3 and play it through my car radio. i just use my cd cassete adapter. it plays real nice.

[Ezikial Anta]

hmmm how do you do that cause i have an adapter for tape through play and a mem stick w/ mp3's...

[zzv347]

Coolest thing. Recording client telephone conversations and playing them back to them when they deny having ever said, "Sure you can have more resource"....

[slippy4twenty]

Was bored with my girlfriend and another couple of friends waiting for Bruce Almighty to start, lo an behold out came the clie, we watched an episode of Futurama....since she (driver) had a cassette adapter we got to listen to it over the speakers. Much fun!

All kidding aside, I'm an NR user used to a slightly more crappy camera, and there have been many situations where I've wanted to capture a page of notes or diagrams quickly. The NR camera doesn't have the detail to capture much legible text on a page. I might get an NX80, but since nobody can comment on the quality of its camera yet, I was wondering how the NX70 performs. Can you get a legible picture of normal-sized (12pt?) text -- doesn't have to be a whole page at a time or anything. Thanks.

The new NX80 might be great with it's steady light for real close shots of things. It would even be more helpful if it had a macro lens to get shots of small itens and such :).

[Jubai]

coolest thing i ever did:

driving around with the HONDA VFR SPORT II of my brother (me on the backseat, he's driving) and recording...when finished impressing girls with the movies :)

[rhysng]

a good time-killer machine.....

can watch movie whether I need.....
can surf ebay and stuff whether I go.....
can sync with my nokia 7650 whether i want to,..a perfect partner
can play games with my gamepad....
can immediately send mail with embarrasing photo....
almost all-in-one remote control for my gadgets...
wish to get a bt GPS module to become my car-navigator...
karaoke with my mp3 and lyric on my word-to-go...

my only wish for sony to come out with external battery add-on with the connector so that we can have external battery and gamepad at the same time.... kinda like ajacket add-on for compact pda series.... that would be cool....

[TedTschopp]

I used my NX to take video of the Stars at the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers premier in Los Angeles.

I'll post some of it at somepoint, including Orlando Blooms comment about the Clie when he saw me with it.

During an argument over dinner at restaurant, I whipped out the Clie with IMDB installed and proved I was right about a movie.

Also, my cousin wanted to know the dictionary definition of primogeniture.

I have an NZ90, and it is perfect for taking a picture of a whole A4 page of text. I can read text down to 9pt I would assume, as 12pt is no big deal.. Don't know if the NX80 does this though :/

Thanks, I believe the NZ camera is better than the NX80 will be, but it's good to know. Does it have a special macro setting? I'm assuming that the NX will not, but it might be a nice feature for them to include someday. It sounds like if the NX80 performs somewhere between the NX70 and NZ it will be more than enough for my purposes, at least camera-wise.

Recorded a Henry Rollins Spoken Word show. Even included me *****ing out the chatty... brats at the table over.

I am a Film/TV Camera Operator, and I configured mine with the wireless LAN card, so that I can keep mine on my camera, and the Control Room can send camera instructions (shot cards, script changes, etc.) directly to my screen, instead of taking notes on paper.

That's so cool. What software do you use for that? Is it like a text message or e-mail thing? I have an NR, so I'm not really up on all the things the NX can do.

[brahamt]

OK, I change my mind. The people on ClieSource convinced me. The coolest thing now is updating web pages in iSilo (see Turcic.com if you don't believe me).

[Unregistered]

I am A teacher who suffers from vocal strain constantly, I use my NX in the voice record mode to bradcast through a sound feeder (F.M. wireless adapter) to play my voice through the stereo surround sound in my classroom for lectures. It is amazing! The mike picks up a whisper from 20 feet away and allows me to talk at a really comfortable level and all my 30 art students can hear perfectly. Since it is playing and recording at the same time I do have to make sure none of the speakers are close enough to cause feedback. Francis

[inthetin]

Great usage of not only the NX, but learning technology. I would be very interested in your set up. Could you please elaborate on the peripheral set up i.e. microphone, etc.. I would also like to see if any users have reported success with iTrip, an FM transmitter for iPod and adapting it for Clie. Thanks for your post.

[Adam1562]

I just think that it's cool that I own one. I've had my NX 70 for about 5 months and I'm still learning. I need to post more messages on this site. I think it would be really cool to be able to obtain a photo with my screen name.

dude remember this is not a pocketpc...and yea pocket pc could do all that in multitaskin but clie cant:) too bad i have best of both worlds? lucky me

Can you tell me the steps to do this ?

Coolest things I do with my NX70:
1) Use it as a overpriced paperweight
2) Use it as a doorstop.

[Badandy]

wow, i leave for a few months since I got my ipaq, and this thread is now huge. Nice to see!

[soulreaver99]

play nesem, watch anime on it if i show up early for a meeting, and chat online

[joshiee]

Unfortunetly none of the panasonic settings worked on the Panasonic tv's at school.. Maybe I did something wrong, someone might want to let me know how to use the Clie RMC..

[duncanish]

I use the NX80 TO RECORD MY LECTURES HERE IN THE UNIVERSITY. COMPILE AN ARCHIVE OF ALL LECTURES IN WAV ADPCM AND THEN BURN DISCS TO SELL TO THE KIDS RIGHT BEFORE A TEST OR FINAL. WORKING WELL. WHAT'S $200 bucks a test- more incentive to study and not skip classes. :)

[dolphinoverlord]

a whole bunch of you've already seen this but ...meh.
I stick my clie on my nitro remote control car. gonna shoot some new videos this weekend maybe :P

Is it a combo TV/VCR? I "helped" one teacher who couldn't coordinate his lecture and the movie. I had tried all the TV settings before and decided to get creative with Panasonic VCRs. He thought someone had the remote and gave us a small sub-lecture on stealing school property. Every one within a 5 kid radius knew what was going on and no one snitched, which is impressive for a small Christian school. He found the remote on top of the TV, so no damage done, despite the exceedingly satisfying look of bewilderment written all over his face. I think I'll let him in on what happened. . . in a couple years.

[Dropzone]

record? but the video recording sucks for nx80v... ;)

[blkcbbra96]

I use it to watch movies and carry mug shots

[pk28]

I bring my demo reel and projects that I am working on around on it, in case I meet anyone that might be a potential client.

But the coolest was when, I brought it to the opening of the movie where I got my first credit and snapped a still when our team's names came on...was pretty popular at the wrap party afterwards...

[CopyCat]

Coolest use eh?

-Watching Matrix 1-3 at work:) on my NX
-Mp3 player is always rockin


those are the coolest I guess, others include
-note taking
-pictures and sound recorder
-remote
-address book
-etc... it goes on

[smokeymountain]

Listening to MP3s (of course)... and watching the latest "Friends" episodes.

[dihinaloudh]

Well, this isn't exactly high on the "wow" factor, but it has changed my life...

I am a teacher and get TONS of single sheet documents from school administrators, such as schedule updates, check lists, contact lists, procedure outlines, etc. etc. every month. Now, I use my NX 80 to take a snapshot of each piece of paper, re-name the files using the file manager, and voila: I have a portable file cabinet of all administrative memos, etc. and can recycle all the originals without a second thought. Amazing!

The NX 80 camera has way more than enough resolution to clearly read all text on an 8.5 x 11 page (even smaller fonts).

Oh yeah... and I installed "Fun Cam" = just a matter of time before I find something cool to do with this one!

[Michael Quach]

That rocks :)

[deevonn]

can nx use CF gsm module ??
e.g. audiovox RTM-800 ??

What a good idea!!!:eek:

[arty22]

How do you record movies with the clie camera in acceptable quality??? the resolution of the build in movie recorder is just too bad.
And is there any freeware possibility to convert divx and others movies from PC to the clie ???? Or do i have to own kinoma?
Thanks for your support...

[arty22]

How did you do that??? Got simsons on mov format, heard they can be seen by renaming them to mqv. But after renaming plus transfer my movie player could not show them. So, How did you do this???
Using an external movie player like kinoma???
Where did you get your simsons from?
Any homepage?

I use Zlauncher, only 12 $, one of the best launchers for the palm os. It is soooo cool, you not only can mount cool backround images of your choice or delivered with the WinXp Themes but also put your programs to the mem stick by just pressing "move to memory card.

[arty22]

I have the NX 80 and the quality is good enough to take pictures of documents.

[magnus]

My nx80v is the only computer I have . Apart from it I do not own any other desktop or laptop and I go over to a neighbours house to sync or load software!!

And hence my list of cool things
1) Net browsing and email
2) verichat!!
3) FTP to my home directory at the university
4) Capture pics of my friends at various candid moments. These pics are always high in demand
capture candid videos.
5) E books
6) Games like warfare, chess, GTS racing with the game controller
7) PIM
8) Mp3 player
9) Videos like transformers, trailers and from the cliesource ftp site
10) Daily morning alarm that wakes me up
11) World alarm clock for time in my home country of India
(buying phone cards online to call home as well!!!!)
12) Write out reports, do basic charting and spreadsheet work(oh yeah, I keep my journal in there too) with Docs to go 6

I really think the question is what cool things can't you do with it!!!

[zx7dave]

The coolest thing I have done is kick my feet up at work during lunch and watch Tomb Raider II (full movie) on my NX73 while my peers eat thier ham and cheese sandwiches and look on with envy...

[wwlin5168]

I am using my NX for daily note and some app for project managment.
I LOVE it.

What Bible software program(s) do you like? Is there a NIV version for the PDA? Are there any versions which also have the NIV STUDY notes?

Our developers plague the NX with software testing. Thus, all our devices are members of our team. We torment them, but we love them. ;)

If your video is a .mov, then you need to rename it to something like MOV00001.MQV - note the capital letters! The number part can be pretty much anything as far as I know.
Then put the MOV00001.MQV into the /MQ_ROOT/100MQV01 folder on your memstick. You should then see it when you open movie player.
For a lot more information and about other types of movies formats etc, try the Video Forum here (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=54) .
