Sorry guys, I'm not at all techy so wouldn't know how to check what was what on the 314 but Gerry Holland may as he got SD demo on it for me after I was going to throw the unit away as I couldn't get anything to light up... But just let me know if would like to try it, PM me your address and I'll send it on, could happily do without for a couple of weeks if necessary....

If it ain't broke, I ain't used it!

It's looking better than I initially thought. Please let me know if you feel I can help.

It's OK, Andy lives half a mile from me!

Thank you Andy. I am happy to at least share the mailing costs as said previously. Please let me know.

Steve, you're welcome to try it on mine. You could probably have it Monday to Friday at minimum without me having any need for it. It's a cheapo Chinese job, but you can get to the Windows CE desktop.



Andy

Hello Graham (GeeJay). Please keep in direct contact with stevelup to see if we can sort this trial soon. Please feel free to let me know if either think that I can help in anyway. As you can see I am keeping a close eye on this "Bulletin Board"

Hi



Do you have full WinCE access on your iPaq 314? In other words, can you get a desktop up and launch control panel.



If so, it would be a suitable test candidate. I'd probably need it for three or four days.



Steve

We'll just have to see if stevelup thinks that this HP Ipaq is suitable to test his keyboard module on.

I have an HP Ipaq 314, would that be a device suitable for the test although I only have the demo version on it at present as I'm waiting for a new Medion unit to arrive before buying the complete package, if the 314 is usable how long would you need it for?

Well done, That was very kind of you Stevelup. I have several units with direct WinCE access. However, I have just arrived in the Middle East, from the UK yesterday. I know sending the devise from here would be both expensive and unpredictable. I hope to be back in the UK in August. I have 5,6 & 7" screen suitable GPS devices of various makes that can be made available then.



In the Interim, can I use this venue to request forum members or guests who displayed the enthusiasm and keenness to use a large keyboard with SD, to grab this unique opportunity and consider active participation in this regard? Should they have a spare portable GPS with direct WinCE access to contact Stevelup please, with view to availing their device for him to test his new Keyboard module on. A lot of us have been waiting patiently for this to be realised. Stevelup has been kind enough to work on this module in his own personal time.



Our understanding is that the device would be sent back to the original owner once the testing is complete.

I am happy to pay both stevelup and the owner part or the total cost of a UK Royal mail return trip, by direct electronic transfer to their respective accounts, once the necessary details are forwarded to me.

(PS: Was this a first on this forum?)
