t600 Dab app

[clivelaw]

Has anyone seen the MoDoCo reveiw on the t600 it shows the DAB app in operation but gigabyte will not let anyone have it they say its unstable. Alex Abraham the site administrator of MoDoCo who demonstrated the app says it worked really well so I asked him if he could let me have the Dab radio app he said he would have to ask gigabytes permission they told him not to give it to me as its not for general release I naturally felt disappointed at Alex Abraham and gigabyte decision after all what harm would it do to let us have this app if it didn't work properley simply remove it. Has anyone else got this app

Hi Dattad yes here it is(http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc ... ntry899135)

[dattad]

just to sum up: inspected all roms available for download, there's no DAB player in any of them, maybe will be included in next releases for europe.

Hi has the situation changed on DAB as its specified in the Specs as DAB being available ? My new T600 is on its way and I was intending on using it really as a multimedia phone, the loss of DAB would be very unfortunate, please tell me its now available or if there is any software to sort dab out, a bit like the updated TV software.

Thanks
Paul

I haven't seen DAB functionality in any of t600 ROMs. Maybe you can get it, if you write to GSmart support, who knows. I don't have DAB in my country, so I've never asked them about it.

Well Ive asked Gsmart but I won't hold my breath, what I don't get is that its on the specs, Macado has reviewed it but they haven't released it ? what harm can it do. DAB in the UK is free-ish (built in to the hardware) still if they give me an update then I''ll let you all know, others could request too, it may help.

Well here's the reply good job I didn't hold my breath |:

Dear Thanks for your mail and we are sorry for we haven't built the DAB and DMB player on the T600.
In the internet video, the DAB program is a demo vsesion. It’s not stable and we haven’t released it.
We’ll keep development it APSP.

Looked pretty stable to me and whats the worst that it could do ? freeze the phone so an occasional reboot may be needed, but at least we could try it It is unusual for a company to advertise a product that has a feature, only then to say well it has it but you can't use it as we aren't investing in it anymore , would be nice if they updated their site to say that DAB radio is not available.

Ohh well if MaCado & Gsmart won't release it, is their any other app that can advantage of the Dab hardware ?

Heres hoping as we have al ot of good dab stations in the UK and I don't think I'm gonna here them on this mobile
