[2:04] <josch> mjrosenb: yes
[2:12] <mjrosenb> so this sentence: "Plug it into the back of the tablet to take full advantage of the larger touchscreen"
[2:13] <mjrosenb> there would then be two processors in the tablet, and the processor in the tablet is doing nothing while the mid controls the display?
[2:13] <Corsac> josch, mjrosenb no you can't
[2:13] <Corsac> there's only one mainboard (in the mid)
[2:13] <Corsac> but you can use the tablet without mid as an external screen for something else
[2:15] <mjrosenb> Corsac: so you get a different tablet in the "tablet + keyboard" combination and in the "mid+tablet" combination?
[2:15] <mjrosenb> or is there now a processor in the keyboard section ?
[2:15] <Corsac> no

[2:16] * viridior (~viridis@173-45-235-117.slicehost.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[2:16] <Corsac> when you buy the touchbook, you get the keyboard (common) plus the tablet plus the mainboard
[2:16] <Corsac> (which I think can be detached but it doesn't have much point)
[2:16] <Corsac> when you buy the smartbook you get the keyboard (common) plus the tablet plus the mid
[2:17] <Corsac> and the back cover of the touchbook tablet isn't the same as the smartbook one, because the latter has to fit the mid screen there
[2:17] <mjrosenb> ahh, the store did not make it clear that there were two completely different lines being offered there.
[2:17] <Corsac> http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Smart_Book_top_part has some pictures of the smartbook parts
[2:18] <mjrosenb> in otherwords, the first thing that i said.

[4:52] <josch> Corsac: ???
[4:53] <josch> Corsac: wow that was something i really wasnt aware of until now
[4:54] <josch> hm..
[4:54] <josch> surely the information on the website has to be improved to avoid confusion
[4:54] <josch> i mean
[4:55] <josch> i'm here like for over a year now and definitely read everything in the last months but was still of the impression that the smartbook would work without the mid as well
[4:55] <josch> alas it makes more sense the way it is :)

[13:28] <jd823592> Hello
[13:28] <jd823592> the MID doesnt have any GSM module to use normal SIM cards does it?
[13:28] <leinir> Well no, that would make it a smartphone and not a MID :)
[13:29] <jd823592> i didnt know MID definition before :)
[13:29] <max_posedon> Mobile Internet Device - like n8x0)
[13:30] <leinir> There you go :)
[13:31] <jd823592> another question would be: does always innovating work closely with beagle board designers? i guess not but i think it might be profitable cooperation - if the board would stay open in terms of available open schematics and open source drivers and related stuff
[13:33] <max_posedon> omap SoC not very open itself and most drivers you need only for it
[13:34] <max_posedon> as for Smartbook, its just a screen/keyboard connected via regular usb, hdmi, and so on
[13:34] <max_posedon> so, best thing that AI can do, is share docs about which modules/connectors they use
[13:35] <max_posedon> and they did it, you can read more on wiki

[13:45] <jd823592> i am not used to use wifi (i know it sounds weird now-a-days) so this according to http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/forums/view confuses me.. wifi is often restricted by password if i am not wrong .. so it can be used as a phone only when you know passwords right?
[13:46] <max_posedon> it can be used as phone, only when you use skype or SIP calls
[13:46] <max_posedon> (or jabber calls)
[13:46] <acks> did the rest of the link get cut off?
[13:46] <jd823592> i know.. jabber calls i know
[13:47] <max_posedon> you just need internet connection, and there is so many options to get it
[13:48] <jd823592> i refered to the wifi connection.. when i walk to my school for example i cant use its wifi unless i have an account can i?
[13:48] <jd823592> most probably not
[13:48] <jd823592> i assume thats how it works in majority of cases
[13:49] <max_posedon> You know, I don't know which wifi avaible for you
[13:54] <jd823592> of course but i assume that this doesnt change when you move out of my area to yours.. i assume that world is not covered with public wifi connection.. so it doesnt seem very useful for me to bring such a device
[13:58] <max_posedon> I'm from Belarus, do you still think that wifi my and your wifi options similar?
[13:59] <max_posedon> somewhere wifi public, somewhere it payable, anyway we can't help you with it
[14:02] <jd823592> max_posedon: i am from czech republic and yes i think we have similar options of connectivity... i dont expect help i am just wondering why the device was brought to the touchbook.. making it a bit more expensive in the model with MID but not much more... still i might buy MID after all :D:D
[14:02] <jd823592> instead of whole tablet
[14:04] <max_posedon> "because it can" (c)
[14:05] <max_posedon> as for me, I love the idea, and buying full smartmook version
