Hi there, I be interested for someone to report back on the actual useability of the virtual test environment.
Particularly - * opening, closing physical keyboard * display using the touchscreen (including multi-touch) various gestures, swiping etc * switching through the various orientations * compass, accelerometer pitch and roll - ie moving the phone around in 3d * camera, taking (real) pictures and video * audio, both record and playback and voice dialing, search * gps * the proximity sensor and light sensors I think they would need some very fancy robotics to accomodate a lot of this, else a lot of emulation which sort of defeats the purpose. Regards PS I wonder if the CPU is pegged at 384mhz like the G1, hope there is a better heat/power budget, so you can actually use 528mhz On Sep 11, 11:34 pm, JoaJP <[email protected]> wrote: > Mark, > The D pad issue can be lifted off of the product demos.
