what's NR and what is this forum?

[sanjay]

i noticed this forum here and im wondering what it is and why its here if nobody is posting in it? could someone enlighten me?

[andrewmel]

news and rumours....... got any?

a

[sanjay]

but we already have a whole subcategory for news and rumours....

a little bird told me that the H10 will be released sometime in 2005....

[andrewmel]

now the bluetooth remote release is the one i am after.

and there is the h580 coming soon. has a hopper on the top for the beans and a spout down the bottom for the espresso. perfect for the morning commute....

BT remote would be so good, and BT headphones too

[damagician]

BT would be great for remote and headphones but I always think those dudes you see walking along with the BT headset permenantly on one ear for their mobile are complete dicks.

[sanjay]

yes they are

but wearing a pair of earbuds or headphones like my MP-100s with no wires would be so good - no more 3 metre cable

and u could clip the remote to any part of your body and not have to worry about cabling - replacing batteries in them would be a bitch though, unless the H10 had a docking station that let u charge your bt headphones, remote and H10 itself in one....*drool*

that said, id still be apprehensive to get a H10 in 20gb form, as ive tried the touch pad on the zen touch and much preferred the joystick on my H120. oh well, we'll have to wait and see how this one fares

i heard iskin will release H3xx iskins

and maybe ten technologies will develop the bluetooth remote for the 1xx series

and rockbox will finish up their firmware porting (YAYYY)

[andrewmel]

there are already bluetooth remotes for the h3 in testing in the u.k. for the CE stamp....... there have been posts on this forum by sombody who tried one out.

[Grooveless]

probably nothing for the ihp-1xx series. sniffs!

maybe rockbox can port those too!!!

[damagician]

If I could get a BT remote and headphones then I'd definately blow the dust of my bankcard ;o)

[cyclosys]

is the bt remote confirmed to be coming out and what about the bt headphones

[andrewmel]

jeff now at ces says a big fat no for the bluetooth remote, (((

a

[sanjay]

meh, who cares about BT remote when we know the rest of the H10 is going to blow goats.

*sends the duty hellcat back into the bunker, weird-science mechanical checklist clutched in paws*

Sorry the rumour mill's been quiet, we had it down for servicing here for a while whilst we were upgrading the ludicrous circuiits

BTW .. if anyone finds the time, please visit the cemetary on their way through MR - we lost six hellcats doing the upgrade testing. You'd had to have seen the remains, to realise that a cold-fusion explosive reaction from vending machine coffee... is nasty stuff
