I feel like reading a Microsoft website. "Welcome to our new Product X that seamlessly integratges with your existing infrastructure" etc, bla bla bla.

I am sure it does, but what does it actually... do? ;)

Why, being awesome and nostalgic, of course. But not much useful.

Will it download and install an appropriate sound when attached?
Can you make the lights flash when the phone rings?
Will the disco ball come with it?

Believe me, if this is a lot more cheaper, you would make more money out of it :)
I'm sure MANY users here would buy one of those :D

The casing is not cheap and the RGB Leds are quite expensive also (and there's 10 of 'm!)

what kind of RGB LED's are you guys using?

LED's aren't so expensive anymore :P
Recently I've bought a RGB LED strip (5Meters long!) with adapter etc for like 20.

Maybe you can extract those leds and use it for LeTOH? :P

btw, why don't you guys work with Jolla? I mean, to make it an official product, or licensing it? This could reach a wider audiance too :) (like selling in shops)

I bought some RGB LED strip off ebay for around $11 or about 8 euro I think. 5m!

This is not cheap RGB LED strip.
We use "special" leds to make the appearance more spectacular.

Using leds used in RGB strips, would make TOH thicker, heavier and looking not-so-O_o. :cool:

Our design decisions are Final and made by engineers - so you should trust them.

Re: LeTOH
 
A bit OT but I am not sure it deserves a new thread: dirvl, you might possibly make some buck by producing a "universal prototype TOH". Perhaps in two varieties, just the plastic cover and the plastic cover plus a universal PCB with the connectors at the right places. Perhaps even a third variety, same as #2 but with the I2C chip and some Arduino or whatnot soldered on.

In fact I think Jolla should provide such dev kits. That would definitely make the TOH concept more attractive. The "dev kit" they provide now is a joke.

something like this? > http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...48#post1416848

we just need 3d printed cover for this imho.

Yes, something like that. I must have missed that thread. Sorry, I wil follow up there. Over and out.

The cost must also cover the future lawsuit when disco Bob discover that his song is used without permission. :D

Added bank transfer to the shop, so you do not need Paypal anymore to order! :)

how configurable is this in terms of when it flashes, can it come on for calls/alerts only for example?

I am not the coder, so I must be careful to promise you features without getting angry messages from Kimmo.

That being said, I have full faith that there will be a lot of fun features! Personally I think it could add an awesome feature to the alarm clock :)

Re: Light Emitting TOH
 
ahh i see, i understand, ok, am sure some of the basic options will be there :) such as lighting up for notifications!

i recently sold my jolla, in a fit of madness...i may well get another for xmas now and this LETOH! - thanks

Re: Light Emitting TOH
 
Crap! It reminds me the good old days of psp hardware moddings! hehe :D

Great work Dirk and Kimmo! Is this actually a vu meter inside of the toh?
Maybe you should put rgb leds in it ;)
More funkyness, you know!

Edit: I haven't seen your second video! Cool :cool:
