do you think the sx56 can ever connect to a wirelessnetork?

Do you think it's possible to have the sx56 connect to a actual wireless network to be able to surf the web and such?? maybe if you used the usb connection and put a linksys wireless usb card on the end or something? i dont know i am just curious ?
i'm a T-Mobile USA user, and i can go online an chat or surf or download... 24/7 for $19.00 a month!
someone also told me that they made SD-card bluetooth for it too.
didnt look into it yet tho.
2 kind of devices have an usb connector
1. usb peripheral
2. usb hosts (or what ever you want to call it)
1. are stuff like an external harddisk and a webcam and an xda
2. are computers laptops pc's mac's what ever
you cant connect 2 {1} devices like you cant connect your webcam to your usb harddisk even if the cable fit because there need to be a master
the xda is a peripheral which can connect to a pc
so you cant connect other peripheral's to it since 2 peripherals cant talk with eachother
so there is no way to connect to a wireless network through the pda? besides using the cradle and activesync?
you can of cause connect using VPN if it support over GPRS to a server which route you into a wireless lan
or if you really can get those bluetooth adaptors which work even though the sd slot is not sd-io because bluetooth support PPP so you could bluetooth to a computer which could route you into a wireles lan
No.
No wireless LAN.
No Bluetooth.
Period.
That's it.

[Q] Using SGSII As car PC

Hi Everyone!
I am currently planning on how i could use the SGS2 as a car pc.
Right now i already have a car pc running on my car with touchscreen monitor and everything.
While using vnc to connect to my cel and display it's video signal and touch controls works,it's very slow and unpractical in most cases.
I was wondering if i could find a way to connect the tv out directly to the monitor and have touchscreen through the USB host functionality (my lcd monitor has usb for touch with general drivers)
Does anybody know if this could work or not?
My idea is to get a MHL To VGA adapter (already found) which also has a usb port where i can insert the USB of the touchscreen and it should react as a usb mouse.
I'm not entirely sure if it will need drivers or not though.
Any idea? Thanks!
Nevermind.

[Q] Connect Midi Keyboard Via -->USB<-- to My ASUS Transformer tablet

I'd like to figure out how to connect my Yamaha MIDI keyboard to my Asus tf101 tablet for recording via hardwired USB.
I've scoured the web looking for an app or solution to this and have come up generally blank, I've tried all the free midi controller apps, but they only seem to support Wifi or Bluetooth, which my keyboard is unable to do.
I'd like to eliminate my computer as a middleman (If I'm at my computer I'd just use that) and be able to use my tablet to record on the go!
Any ideas/thoughts/help/wisdom/proverbs/ninjas would be greatly appreciated
Device Info:
ASUS Transformer tf101 running
ICS 4.0.3 Rooted
I have the dock with 2 USB 2.0 ports that I am connecting to the connecter with.
Cable:
Amazon: USB MIDI Input Output Cable Converter PC Notebook
Works fine on computer and no issues so far via usb.
Thanks!
Bump
Any Ideas?
Bump.
Can anyone help me?
Hi, I have a solution for You.
Download Grand Piano Pro from google play store works perfectly.
Download Floating Browser if You want to do something on top of the app.
I'm using worlde panda 61 midi keyboard via usb on my Transformer Prime
Yep AFAIK, Grand Piano and the Organ app from the same developer are the only 2 apps that supports USB Midi at the moment.
I made a quick video to show it working here

There is also USB Midi Monitor, but that is just a utility rather than an instrument or recorder.
I am really keen for more apps to come out so we can record using a USB midi controller.
Does anyone know any more apps that support USB Midi devices?
thanks,
Rich
I presume this should also work if I'm connecting my keyboard via a MIDI to USB converter then to the phone?
Thanks

If it's a standard MIDI device (ie. if you can plug it into a Windows or Mac machine and it shows up as a midi controller without needing to install any special drivers) then it should work.
Excellent thanks. I've purchased the otg cable, I'll report back.
Thanks.

Hi!
My cable arrived and I had a go at connecting up my midi keyboard. After some time I realised that the phone appeared not to be putting enough power through to the midi-usb converter that I use on my PC usually (plug and play), such that the led indicator was not lighting. I bought Grand Piano and Midi Monitor, both showed no response. When I open Midi Monitor there is a pop up that says, no MIDI device detected.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
You could try putting a powered USB hub in between the midi-usb converter and the OTG cable.
That kind of takes away the portability aspect though as you'll be tied to a power point.
But if you have one available, you could at least confirm if that is the issue.
If that does solve the issue, you could try to power the USB hub with a portable power pack... but I'm not sure i that would work...
Thank you thank you for the app listing, Gpp works for midi detection, and is pretty much what I was looking for. It didn't need any power on my tf101. I'll be sure to hit that thanks button at midnight x)
I have a TF300T and a Yamaha keyboard that I connect to my computer via USB (no drivers needed).
I don't have the keyboard for the tablet so I was thinking about buying the USB OTG adapter and connect the piano directly. Is this possible? Anyone has the USB OTG adapter and tried this?
Thanks.
In Yamaha smartpianist my USB not recognizing my piano how can I fix that issue help me out
