Okay so it's summer....

[smoothjordan]

What to do with the TH55? I won't really be needing it as school is out (for me, college is great) and I don't really do anything besides Docs 2 go. I don't want it to sit here for 3 months and do nothing, how can i keep this baby alive?

[dragonsgames]

Come on, man, be creative! Take pictures! Listen to music! Watch movies! Play games! I still have 2 weeks of school left... :(

[smoothjordan]

I can do all that stuff on my other more capable gadgets....

[dragonsgames]

Ok, then sell it ;)

What a goof ball... No wonder you have 8 billion posts

ebooks - the TH55 has incredible battery life
pictures - *always* resize to 320 x 320 or 320 x 160. The quality is excellent plus it's perfect for flickr, parazz, or any of your favorite online pictures storage
stream music - I have this setup: cradle+TH55+power+wifi+external speakers. It frees up my computer from streaming music.
games - try the classics: irogue, taipan, space trader, and miner 2149. Then we have the "long" games such as Aldon's Crossing, Fish Tycoon, Plant Tycoon, Legacy, and EDGE.

Or you can choose to let the TH55 hibernate. Check it up next school year :)

Or you can still have the option to sell it to DanT.

Well, You have some point there Smoothjordan because I use my th55 for school quite much too. But still I'm going to use my th55 for:
-Tracking some to dos using clie organizer :o
-Music listening through my external speakers :cool:
-Reading some docs for my hobbyes using picsel viewer :)
-Taking pictures about me and my girlfriend :rolleyes:
-Checking web for tv shows so I don't need to stand up from soffa at the same time when pringles and sprite flys to ground and search newspaper :D

Anyway... You might also try:
-MySportTraining software tracking all your summer training counting for example football and so on :)
-Leonard maltin 2006 movie quide for checking best movies and rent them for wathing with your friends :)
-Play games like Joel said ;)

Well, and th55 isn't actually any toy with play all the time so you can just leave it where you want if you don't need it and relax on beach.

And oh, some tips for taking photos using th55:
-adjust always the camera settings before taking picture
-angle means a lot so try to find best angle
-take pictures rather outside than inside for better quality becose th55's camera needs a lot of light, dark surrouding screws up pictures
-just keep in mind that th55 isn't made for real camera so you can take also fun pictures and keep pictures just in th55 because as odd it is, th55's camera's pictures look a lot better on th55 than on computer!

Install Plucker and Plucker Desktop. Start reading web sites on it. Here are a few web sites I try to read every night before bed.

It' summer, get it out of the house. Buy a GPS mouse and software and find places to go. Get a hotspot service provider and find some wi-fi hangouts. Install check book or splash wallet and use it to balance your account.

Hmm, my ears were ringing, oh that was you Joel.

Yea, for the right price, I'll take that TH55 off your hand, SJ. ;)

[Joel]

The TH55 is quite useful while watching TV. The other day, I was wondering about the mathematics of Deal or No Deal.... and ended up looking at how Howie Mandel looked like in St. Elsewhere. :D

[smoothjordan]

What's the right price DanT??? jshep2k5@gmail.com if your serious


Thanks for the tips guys, if Dan doesn't take it off of my hands I'm sure I'll be able to do something good with it

What kind of external speakers do you have, and how do you connect them to the TH55?

I just picked up a Sony SRS-T33 and I think that it's pretty neat, and very portable (one Amazon reviewer compared it to a hot dog and that's just about the size of the unit), great for travel/outdoors. Not hifi, but it is stereo, and cheap:

Link doesn't work, but if it has the y audio cables (red and white) you can buy a y-audio adapter at walmart (3 bucks i think) and it will convert the red and white to 3.5mm which then can be plugged into your th

[LanMan]

Thanks for the tip, smoothjordan.

BTW - The SRS-T33 link to Amazon should be working now.

[smoothjordan]

Oh i misread your post. Sorry bout that! That should have came with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable that hsould connect directly into your th55.

[LanMan]

Right, it does have an attached 10" cable with a 3.5mm to plug into the '55. I like this little speaker system and was able to get it for $20 on clearance at Target, but I was wondering what others do for speakers as well.

[dragonsgames]

I have a Red-White cable to 3.5mm for my PDA/iBook, which is hooked up to the strereo, which is hooked up to the speakers around the house ;)
