Damn

Damn. These Japanese Visor owners got some great ideas. No wonder a lot of the cool gadgets on the market are from Japan.

Well, I translated it & sent it to Molly. I didn't post it here since MOlly has copyright to the page. Also I think it's easier to understand with photos. Hopefully he post it on PDC soon. I don't have any technical knowledge for electric wiring so if anything doesn't make sense, let me know.

some guy in germany was the first to do this with his palm. and a while back last year a user here was able to do this and posted it in text. I think it was totaly overlooked but i've been doing this for a while now myself.

Good Machine Translation from Japanese to English

Hi all..

I did some poking around on Palm deCool, I noticed in the webpage an address as well as some English talking about translation of the site.. well, I managed to get the exact URL, it turns out to be an EXCELLENT Japanese to English web page translator.. (I think however the article was suggesting it to be used the other way around)

http://www.teletranslator.com:8080/

I used it to browse the Japanese only web pages on Palm deCool.. As well as a few other Japanese only web pages that I have been really dying to know what they are talking about. It's not perfect, but it's very good.

I'm not saying Taki doesn't do an excellent job, (just the opposite!) we just don't want to wear him out by translating every single Japanese web page out there!!

(btw - Thanks Taki for your help.. )

More on Machine translation

If you get a save file dialog box when translating a page, just cancel it.. I don't know what causes that. MIME type unknown I guess. It should work fine when you cancel it.. You may need to reload the window though, seems to get stuck once a day when I use it (or it could be the translator is just busy..?)

I fianlly can read Taki's UMSB (user made spring boards) web site! Very interesting stuff going on there too..

I also thought it was a good idea untill..

I liked the idea of being able to charge while in the cradle, until I looked at the Minijam's external battery pack option, apparently it can take power from the usb connector. This made me really think about the modification, I wouldn't want to fry my minijam.
