		<description><![CDATA[hello,

I have a similiar braclet, but without the display, and I have to control it with my computer (so that it vibrates when I want it to). I dont have much knowlege on this things so can anyone give me some guidelines how to do it, where could I get drivers for my computer to work with the braclet etc..?
Thaks..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got one from a webshop and my opinion of the product is same as allmost any others; the number of the caller is pretty unusefull information because no-one types numbers for calling anymore and therefore no-one remembers them. So the name of the caller would be crucial.

Im not a programmer of anykind, but I got a few ideas to make a whole lot better product.
When you connect the bracelet to your mobile, it says the name of the device ie. Jives iPhone, so would it be possible to code a program for the iphone, wich works as a &quot;gateway&quot; for the bracelet and translates different information to the same language? Theres a freeware software for mac users to code IOs applications, but that you probably allready knew.

The bracelet have only two buttons, so acording to that, my idea of the design would go like this:
- different information sits on different pages and to change the page you push the button.
- first page is the time
- second page would be missed calls
- third for sms/email messages. Not the whole message, but only information if there´s any.
- fourth scrolls the rss feed
- fifth shows the current weather conditions
- etc.

- bracelet would automatically go to the first page, after a certain period of time.

Please notify me if theres anyone still working on this?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[pete:  Hardware of the revision I have is as follows:
Display:
        Controller:
                Manufacturer: Solomon Systech (http://www.solomon-systech.com/)
                Model: SSD1300T (custom? most probably, but there are datasheets for some that look to be similar)
        Panel:
                Manufacturer: (Not sure, but I suspect it is sold with the controller attached, and I don&#039;t know if Solomon Systech fabs the panels as well.)
                Model: (Nothing that turns up any useful search results - see previous note)
                Resolution: 96x16?
Flash:
        Manufacturer: Spansion
        Model: AL008D70BFI02
Controller/Bluetooth:
        Manufacturer: CSR (http://www.csr.com/)
        Model: BC417??? (EXT designation, so it uses external Flash - see Notes below)

Notes: The LCD controller could probably be reverse-engineered, if I had access to it directly.  The flash is... well, flashable.  The problem is the CSR IC.  It&#039;s an all-in-one BT/MCU/Charger chip, with absolutely no publicly available information - as I found out, even signing an NDA won&#039;t get you anything useful :/)  There board does break out what appears to be (by the labels and the small bit of technical information I could glean) the SPI bus to testpoints.  Without the datasheet, I don&#039;t know what type of control is available through that bus.  From what I&#039;ve read, there *might* be a way to flash it from if you could get access to the UART, but, having nothing to go on and a really small SMT board, that isn&#039;t practical for me to work on.  Even if that worked, I still have no docs on their proprietary pseudo-ASM language, which runs sandboxed on top of a hypervisor of some sort. Oh yeah, and their software is $3000 :/
If anybody has access to useful information on this that they are allowed to disclose, I&#039;d love to hear it.  Ideally a custom firmware could be written to transparently pass commands to the display controller over BT/SPP.]]></description>
