ok...shout at me if im being really dumb here but cant someone bring out headphones that use WiFi to pass the music across without wires? Surly low power WiFi would transfer musi…

Heck, I just wish someone would make a BT trackball already.

Dees Guyzes seem to have a chipset and released a model some time ago, no link on where to buy though they have a sales@ email. http://www.impulsesoft.com/ I'm looking for som…

Bump. There have been a rash of new ones, some from the same OEM: Toshiba, HP, Logitech and iCombi, Bluetake, and others. The only thing is that all of them are Bluetooth 1.2, wh…

I am curious why can't we use the Sony-ericsson or the Nokia BT headset, though they are not Hi-Fi.

Aren't there any Wi-Fi earphones? Am I going to have to make one out of an Airport express or something? (that would be hilarious looking... I might actually do it, if there's noth…

I have been following this technology for some time. The problem is that Apple PBs, iMacs, etc., with built-in Version 2 + EDR BT do not yet support the A2DP profile required for …

So you're saying it's still stereo, just not very good quality? Om says it works, so, it works, just not well... is that the correct picture?

It's not stereo unless you can find a third-party BT USB adapter (maybe Porto BT Adapter 2.0) that is at least BT Version 1.2 (and preferably version 2) that supports the A2DP and…

Anyone using these drives for their pb? I desperately need to get some extra space (my 20 gig is full on my rev b pb) and was looking at these two models from lacie. Has anyone h…

I am using an 80gb d2 drive with my powerbook and it has worked perfectly from day 1

I'm using a 200 gig d2 drive with my 12" PB. It's great, no complaints at all. The advantage of the d2 over the pocketdrive is that it's much cheaper, isn't it? Disadvantage bei…

Fully recommended here too. I'm on my second PocketDrive now, can't get enough of them. Obviously the price and capacity goes against the 'lil drives but for bus-power, portability…

I have a 120GB Lacie D2 in my desk and a 80GB portable Lacie HD porsche design.... Beautiful design, not problems with them at all... You can buy with a smile on your face best …

Pretty much everything from LaCie will be good. They have supported the Mac for many many years.

Thanks for the replies. Ended up getting the 160 gig d2 drive (no 120 gig ones on the shelf at the soho store). I should be getting it in a couple weeks (unless someone steals it…

So, what kind of tools are available for developing a GUI for a pure java cross platform application? I take it that it is not possible to use Interface Builder and nibs if it's s…

Tools? you don't really need any. I always code the gui by hand. Java's Swing and AWT classes are really easy.

If you are learning Java then I would serially advise you to learn how to hand code swing applications by hand. Just so that you understand the basics. Many people have different …

The only thing I have really written in Java was a GUI to control a robot. It would display the position on a map it created along with the ability to move the robot to point X,Y …

Take a look at Foam. It's pretty interesting.

Unfortunately I'm not as big on Swing as the other posters here. I've used JBuilder's Swing GUI builder and it's pretty decent, though you still need to fill in some code by hand …

Different look and feels space object differently and even if you lock the window with absolute positioning, you will run into problems Apple does not recommend the use of absolute…

Yes, I am coming from a Cocoa background, and I am finding coding some things that are so simple a real pain in the a$$ in Java. I wish there were delegates too... grr. Oh well. …
