Ugly is in the eye of the beholder.

Looks pretty darned cool to me. Interesting and surprisingly ergonomic for gripping. I would never have thunk to replace the existing ambidextrous knob with a pair of bolt-on joysticks! Not only simple, but could be manufactured as an inexpensive mod. Leaves the possibility of reversion. Also leaves the possipility of leaving the wheel and trigger, but putting the other 2 channels on a joystick. For my hobby, Model Warship Combat, that might be a good thing. Have to ponder....

Not exactly, it does not have wav files and the adjustable screen or the ugly shape of the Sensor, but it is not a "let's take the short bus to the track" radio at all. It has SO much more in it them what other radios have on the market it can't be called a dummy radio.

Press release soon

I am seriously into buying this but is the software compatible with "macbookpro intel chipped - OS version 10.4.7...? This will be a desciding factor in my purchase as well as perhaps 13 others I know of. Thanks for your help. PS, I am nor interested in buying a small laptop to simply program the nomadio.

Not being a Mac guy, gut seeing the ads on TV... The Mac can run windows software according to the ads, right? Why Nomadio runs under Windows, right? If Mac properly implements all the windows standards, it should be transparent to tne Nomadio software. Of course, the devil is in the details, and what should be often isn't. You might have to buy a copy of windows to put on your Mac - I don't know how that is all worked out - just seeing the Mac ads that say it can run windows.

Yes but not for the intel just yet...I think they are still working on some of the software for the intel macs. On the older G5, no probs just get windsows for mac.

But my mac is a design tool and I dont want to clutter it with unwanted software that is not work related. If the sensor crew had'nt known to make any software platform based they immediatly loose a massive customer base, and thats the marketing stats alone. Factually I fit with the stat. The software needed to program the sensor is nothing complicated - its not like we are using it for the bomb squade though right. So my question is a valid question for sensor.

but there has to be a simple sollution, companies are always trying to stay ahead of the pack and for sensor to also maintain the status quo, being multi-platform is one way to gain the other half of the customer base as their softeware would not be very large alone I think...this is an assumption here though. hence it would not be within the realms of major reformatting to make it mac compliable, one would think anyway.

Hmmm.... So you feel that Nomadio should labor to make a version for Mac, which consists of only 2.5% of the market (see www.systemshootouts.org/mac_sales.html), just because you do not want to install the software necessary to run it on your Mac? Most OS's would still require device drivers (of some sort), I am suspecting, but maybe the Mac works without device drivers or their equivalent?

I also would not expect a Unix, Linux, MS-DOS, TRS-DOS, OS/2, BeOS, VMS or CPM version out anytime soon. Or even Palm OS (though that sure would be nice, and probably has a higher installed base).

I wish my Windows machine could remain pristine, too, but unfortunately, I have to clutter it with the software to make the tools I use work. Since I am involved with graphic arts, cad, midi, sound, video, database, web, wordprocessing, publishing, programming, etc., etc. (all used not only in my hobby of R/C Model Warship Combat, but in my work), it gets pretty cluttered. But, if you want/need the tool, you "pay the price."

My suspicion is that the market share of Mac users in the R/C hobby universe is even lower, due to the historically technical nature of the hobby. No offense intended, but I would personally rather Nomadio spend their time and money on developing improvements to the existing system, and/or the SDK, than trying to chase users with little market share. Of course, once the PC market for Nomadios is saturated, this analysis may change.

Just my .02, ymmv.

No of course and you are entiltled to your view and you do make a point - good to se that there is an intelligent person here that uses factual persuasion rather than lofty noodics. But It was never said that the market share of PC was either bigger nor smaller than mac, My point was that the mac sector was big enough to warrent having a version out there to be competative on each platform. We are in similar feilds aswell, but I NEVER clutter my work station due to the nture of the high end graphics we are working, only have whats needed. I have a personal mac aswell with a slew of designer software. But as I said before, I am unnaware of the windows for the intel chip mac yet...? If...well I guess when this comes out then I would measure the cost of repurchasing that along with the nomadio and comparing with other similar packages out there and benefits. Although in saying that there is not much out there that directly compares to it, not much...!

If you have this and a mac....? what is your set up at the moment. Would like some advice.

BTW, the share market factored into the cross comparison of PC and mac depends on its context...perhaps in this context as you said due to the somewhat technical nature of the hobby it would be predominantly PC, but as I mentioned before, the mac market si still big enough not to ignore. And even Microsoft are aware of that fact in certain circles.

What are your impressions of the nomadio's functions in terms of ease of use, erganomic programing and on the fly settings change etc....?

Thanks.

Also...in terms of six degrees of separation, most of the fellow designers I am in contact with on a world wide platform, 79% are into a technical hobby of some form. I think there are about 27% whom are into planes like me (pitts special - want to get into jets but$$$$), and a good majority whom also get into RC who also are very much interested in this product but lay their claim to buy based on what the product and company offer in comparison to others out there. Its easy enough to do a spread analysis of the market and PC would be stronger without a doubt world wide. But in the contect of RC hobbies, I would say that yes, its stronger of course. But that percentage is perhaps not accuratly portraying the feild as it may. Yet effort an assumption that nomadio with other contracts out there, to cross platform it would not be an immense effort as one would think, the code is already there. To mod that for the intel mac...? Well, Im no IT expert thats for sure.

BTW, excuse my ignorance but I have not read the entire thread so I was not sure what you are using this product for...?

Actually I have neither the Nomadio nor a Mac (used to have a FatMac years ago, but gave it to a Machead friend - at least I think it is not still in the garage).

I am basically a windows guy, warts and all. Right now I am still chugging along on a 3+ Ghz P4, couple of gigs of ram, few hundred gigs of HD, nothing particularly secial or high horsepower. My son's laptop has more oomph. But going through an upgrede migration is perceived to be more trouble than suffering with what is currently working fine and stable, and usually fast enough. Oh - that is my personal machine. My work machine is far worse.... P3 800!

Right now we are working on the mass market not to say we will not do a WM version or another version. However, with conversion programs for MAC to run Windows programs why bother?

But I really want to get this system but to utilize all its functionality, it would require me to program it. What system set up is it "plug-and-play" ready for at pressent? If you say the mass market my assumption is that its windows ready.

It comes ready to use out of the box you can program the radio directly.

BTW Futaba openly launched the 2.4 GHz radio program at the German 1:5 scale nationals they took 1, 2 and 4th place from all accounts it is now a FHDSS not a DSSS system as it had been. Gee I wonder how that was influenced.

Well they say emulation is the highest form of flattery...seems to bug the hell out of me.

So I could by all rights program this without the computer and use this system with any digital servo set up...>? Thanks, BTW if you could PM me some details about the best place to buy online via a secured vendor, would be appreciated.

Thanks guys, Im intending on using this for race of course and on the various trucks I own, yet as much as I know, the servo's are my weak point within my knowledge base. Therefore what servos would you peoples recomend for this unit. I understand it depends on the trucks function, size and need so this is my list of use:

1) Revo 3.3 (.26) (need advice on digi servo sellection)
2) Savage SS Kit
3) MT2 kitted out for extreme road racing and speed runs.
4) Hyper8 (need advice on digi servo sellection)

Just the two trucks for now the revo and the Hyper are going to be outfitted with full digital servos, so what would be the best for this unit for those trucks. Thank

. obviously HS+HT for the steering with a single servo mod as well as a HS+HT for the throttle servo.
