Is this true, what he says about the keyboard missing keystrokes..?
It's sounds they got a prototype.. At least that's what I hope.
And does it also miss keystrokes when in landscapemode? That's what I would like to know.
And why doesn't he say anything about the picture-in-picture zoomfunction?
That makes surfing on the net so much easier. People should know that the x10 has such a helpfull function.
What an Appalling demo, this guy loves his own voice, he also loves "playing" with the thing rather than doing a structured test its very poor he keeps jumping from subject to subject as things pop into his head.
As I predicted some time ago, its clear Timescape does struggle when subjected to a load, so I for one am not surprised at that, and its clear that the more information it has to load the worse its performance is going to be.
I agree with engadget that the gloss finish is likely to ruin quickly and that would also be a big concern for me.
What about giving us a proper in-depth run through of the Music player? we all know what a music player sounds like! I want to know about bookmarking, Playlists, Sleep timers, etc etc.
The problems with the keyboard: I am not surprised about this I am a long time advocate of resistive screens rather than capacitive screens, I am told time and time again I am wrong BUT I have used every single member of the p*series since day one with few miss hits.
I have now tried out THREE Android handsets with Capacitive screens G1 G2 and Nexus and ALL of them give errors on a regular basis it is a problem with the technology its self NOT the X10 Capacitive screens are simply NOT as accurate as Resistive screens and anyone expecting the accuracy they have had with resistive screens is in for a shock.

In the past
phones allowed you to send all contacts via bluetooth I wonder if that will work, alternatively try the following:
Sync your Satio with Outlook on your PC
Then export all your contacts,and calendar from Outlook to your desktop
Set up or open your Gmail or Googlemail account and import your contacts and calendar files.
Then set up your gmail or googlemail account on your X10 and it will sync your contacts and calendar automatically.
If you need to sync your X10 with Outlook you will need to buy some third party SW and the only one that I know of that works reasonably well is Gsyncit

This is by far the easiest way I found. I done the same with my C905 - Satio and it worked flawlessly.

thx. blutetooth did'nt work from c905 to satio so thought it won't work to send via bluetooth to X10. SE community site may work, hope so, otherwise i will use outlook.

I don't think you're wrong as such but I do think you're misunderstanding the issue slightly - the capacative screens you're talking about are all geared towards full finger touch interfaces, not pen input, so are designed for larger implements and bigger gestures with multitouch etc. So no, by definition they are not as accurate and precise as the resistive screens you're comparing them too, but if they were they simply wouldn't work as well.
As far as the keyboard goes, it's a simple fact that Android's attempt copies the iPhone's keyboard implementation, but lacks much of the latter's refinement. The iPhone's keyboard has featured multitouch from the outset, which makes much faster and more fluid typing possible, and it also has very effective error-correction software, which means all the inevitable typos get corrected at speed, usually before you realise you've made them. It's custom designed for fast, almost carefree input, and is a thing of beauty - I've similarly used a succession of P-series phones and other handsets with "real" keyboards, and I'm faster and have to self-correct less on the iPhone than with any of them. If the Android phones you've tried haven't been so useable, it's not because there's anything inherently wrong with capacitive screens - it's simply that Google haven't perfected their software yet, or are perhaps stimied by the various Apple patents on the technology they're trying to ape.

Just noticed an interesting little bit of info re Motorola's big release of CTIA:it's running Android 1.5!?! Seems maybe 1.6 with a adaptation and guaranteed, if not dated upgrade isn't so bad afterall?
http://phandroid.com/2010/03/[....]-motorola-i1-runs-android-1-5/
One thing this handset does do, that plays to it's target market of the US is Push To Talk, which they seem to love...
@Goldenface: I've been thinking, depending on what you want it to do, couldn't you use one of the PSP desk stands just as a way of having it standing in Landscape.. They are quite old now, but you must be able to pick them up on Ebay? If not, I'd gladly dig mine out and send it up to you.Got it.
