>I need some feedback on: >1. What do you STILL use your Duo for, given its >speed/RAM/storage/screen restrictions? Currently my Duo 2300 is hooked up to my Alesis 6.1 Synth, and running Cubasis to compose and sequence music. Since all it is doing if firing MIDI down the serial port, it has no trouble keeping up. >2. Would the 2300 be capable of *playing* MP3s? >CPU speed, storage capacity, lack of socket for h/phones - do you >try anyway? Well, It can play mp3 (barley) if you use GrayAmp or a super early version of MacAmp. However, the mono sound kinda kills it for good mp3 use. I swear the 16bib mono, sounds like 8bit sometimes. >3. Internet connection >What modem practically is useful (intl & extl, and/or via docks)? >Will intl Apple modem from other models work in the Duo? Which >ones? Anyone from Australia have Aus-specific info re modems? >Do you use your Duo just for email, or browse (with iCab) too? iCab made the 2300 useable to the web. I have always done most of my internet via a DLS or T3 via ethernet. I've sometimes used my Sprint PCSmobiel digital phone to surf at 14.4 when I have had to. The Internal Express modem has been almost useless because of how unreliable it has been for me. >4. What apps do you use regularly?
