7 inch touchscreen

Markham:
i think maybe we should try to arrange a mini-fundraiser to raise $400 so sgtevmckay and Markham (and of course Eric Wong if he shows his head) can have their own Mimo touch screens, assuming that is something you two would like to have?  They are $199 each.

ok i do see it on amazon for about $150 each, so we just need to raise $300 total for each of you two to get one.

on behalf of DC i will pledge the first half of that ($150) using donationcredits sent to sgtevmckay, so we just need to get another $150 raised by DC and CircleDock users.

everyone reading this who uses circledock send sgtevmckay a few donationcredits and let's get that second $150 raised by mid/end july!

Mouser, you've finally done it - you've made me speechless!

I am truly grateful to you for your fantastic generosity, believe me. However there are some practical issues in my case which, if I explain, you will understand my reasoning for declining your most generous offer.

Firstly, do I need such a device in order for me to support it? The answer is clearly "no", Circle Dock works fine on it as demonstrated by Christofarian's video.

Secondly, as the Sarge knows - and you may know - I have chosen to escape the rat-race and no longer live in the UK, my homeland. I in fact live on Cebu in the Philippines and that in itself presents three problems as far as this device is concerned. The first of these is that I'm unlikely to even receive it unless it is sent by secure courier and even then it could well be damaged on arrival (Customs inspection). Secondly, it's likely to attract 100% ad valorum Import Duty as it will originate from the US which is outside the ASEAN area which has a lower tariff. But, perhaps more importantly, the device is designed to be used in the US and requires 110v, 60Hz in which case it won't work in the Philippines where we have 200-240v, 60Hz.

I am having a whole new web site designed and developed for Circle Dock and if Christofarian would care to prepare a "case study" together with some good still photographs (as PNG images), I'll have it included.

Thank you again, Mouser - and DC - for this fantastic offer! Perhaps you would consider donating "my" unit as a prize for the winner of the NANY Challenge.

As soon as i get home i will make up a full tutorial on installation for windows 7 64bit with .png images. also this program needs to be tweeked for touchscreens or some things added or taken out . . here are a few jsut form my experiance. . i will follow these up with videos of the actuall probs

1. Grab and spin . . .on a touchscreen the spin function is completly unuseable. the program that controls the touch screen only allows the touching of the  the screen act like the left or through a special setting the right mouse click. a left click hold would be an awsome improvement, maybe with an overspin would be a cool efect almost like scrolling through your itunes album library.

2.Would you like to remove this icon. . . . sometime touching smaller icons will result in a box coming up saying would you like to remove this icon, basically cause touching kind of drags it a little bit for some reason, mainly because when you touch it, its like holding down the left mouse button so if you move to quickly it drags the icon off the Circle dock. once again i will show vids when i get home. to solve this maybe a lock option that will never allow you to remove your icons  . . . basically they wont move at all like even if you did click hold and drag or do anythign accidental like that.

Those are the only 2 i can think of right now i was having problems with as well as the error i posted earlier. . . like i said when i get home ill do a whole write up (that i will actually spell check lol) post pics and another vid explaining what i would love to see this program do . . i really enjoy this program and want it to be touchscreen compatable.

christofarian:
I've seen the screen capture, what exactly were you doing immediately prior to that error message appearing, Christofarian? I can see you were changing a setting - which setting?

That error came about when jsut clicking on an icon it happends maybe 2 out out every 20 clicks on my circle dock weather it be on my touchscreen or my normal screen.

sgtevmckay:
I don't use CircleDock but I kicked in $10 anyway.   :D

sgtevmckay:
circledock isn't really my thing either - but i like the concept - and the touchscreen experiment.

should i donate to someone directly, or just tell mouser to pass them on?
