Home / Web Pads / Cybiko Cybiko Web Pad Cybiko Web Pad. Just a toy or Hackable

Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) DSteiNeuro Profile Seems kind of silly but do these have any potential? http://www.cybiko.com/index_uk.asp Only $29.00 at etoys http://www.etoys.com/campaign.html?redirect=/kbsearch.html?head=bccybiko&skeys=CO28588&style=toys&campaign=ahgy 11-13-2001 19:17:29

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email Lots of potential! Apparently very hackable from the software side. Probably a cooler toy than Lego Mindstorms. I wish I was 16 again! When I was 16, the closest thing to a PC was a HP 9845 or a Xerox Alto. I dreamt of owning one. But I digress: http://devcybiko.com/index.html So many tech toys, so little time . Alan Kay, did you imagine that your Dynapad would one day retail for $29? BTW, are these available for walk-in purchase at KB Toys? 11-14-2001 00:13:32

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) smee Profile If you're looking for these things, try local stores. If there are any left, they seem to be on clearance to make room for the new Extreme version. I picked up three at Target (B&M) for $12.40 each. When I went back later to get more, they were all gone. 11-14-2001 06:10:42

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) DSteiNeuro Profile Cybiko Extreme are on sale today (possibly today only) at http://www.us.buy.com/ for 59.95. There have been some reports on the HomeSeer board of using these for a local WAP browser. A free .mp3 application is included in the deal 01-21-2002 16:57:54

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) GWIZAH Profile | Email Whoa, this definitely looks like a good deal, right now on Cybikos site they are offering a rebate for a free Mp3 plug-in card that decodes Mp3s and accepts SD/MMC cards that can be used as extra storage...Might wanna pick up a couple as "late" christmas gifts :) 01-21-2002 23:38:42

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) RocketFuel Profile Buy.com had the Cybiko Extreme (The newest model) for $39.95 (Not a rebate, that was the actual selling price) with a coupon for a free MP3 player as their "Price mistake of the day" sale item yesterday. I picked one up for $46 including shipping. The older units are going for $25 on ebay using buy it now. They have an app called cywig (Cybiko wireless internet gateway) that lets you use a unit hooked to your PC as a wireless access point for other units within wireless range. You can use WAP browsing and have "real" time e-mail wirelessly in your hand. You have to have at least two untis to do this as one stays with your PC as the wireless access point. I couldn't resist $39. The MP3 player uses SD or MMC cards for storage, and they can also be used as additional system memory for storing apps and the like. Pretty cool technology for a "kid's" toy! 02-14-2002 14:57:00

Cybiko Xtreme $49 at kbtoys.com (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile kbtoys page includes MP3 rebate form... 02-16-2002 14:12:53

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email I finally picked a Cybiko Classic for $29.99 (after missing the Target closeout at $12.40). This one was transparent white in colour. My first impressions are that it is pretty well-engineered for its price point. The NiMH battery packs, built-in charge circuitry, expansion slot, 160 x 100 bit-mapped display, qwerty keypad, etc. are worth more than the price of entry. Apart from the built-in PIM, games and teen-messaging apps, I was trying to think up a compelling engineering/business/productivity app that could fit into the form factor. The app could be pure SW, or a combination SW/HW bundle using the expansion slot, eg. there was rumored to be a GPS module that fit into the expansion slot - however, there's not enough storage for maps or anything useful. The idea of an always-on e-mail wireless client (basically, like cywig) is pretty compelling, except for the range limitation of 100..300 ft. Other interesting possibilities are secure messaging using Public-Key Cryptography, and secure authentication (using a combination of digital signature, RFID and time-of-day/password challenge - all of which are feasible using only the base hardware). The range also allows vehicle-borne keyfob-type applications, like opening an automatic gate from a moving vehicle after an authentication challenge. 02-17-2002 23:02:22

RE:Cybiko Extreme $43 (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile Friday, Feb 22 - buy.com "Price Mistake of the Day" only 92 units remaining at 10:00 a.m. EST!! http://www.us.buy.com/retail/DOTD/DOTD.asp?sku=70005362&loc=13166 02-22-2002 08:23:46

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email Just ordered a Cybiko original in yellow from etoys $29 plus shipping. From what I have read this machine is quite impressive and can even be programmed in BASIC, or C+.. If I like what I get I will order the more advanced Cybiko Extreme and use the original as a connection to the internet, allowing me remote access in my home to email and AIM. I also have found some users on the Homeseer BBS that are using this unit for home automation applications. Musicman 02-24-2002 21:39:55

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email WOW ! Just got a Cybiko Extreme for $49 at www.buy.com They were $59 last night, glad I waited till tonight. Of course it will be my luck that tomorrow they will be $39.. Ha HA.. Musicman 02-24-2002 21:49:28

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email The Cybiko is quite an amazing device for the price. A great example of what will likely happen with Palm Devices in the future using cellphone communications. My Daughter and I played for an hour or two tonight, playing multi player games on two seperate Cybiko's, even downloaded games between the two wireless units. (Gads What a blast !! Ha Ha ) Its a Very Very Impressive device for the small cost. There are several hundred games, and some very impressive applications for the units including AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, and even BASIC and C+ lauguage for programmers. Must be 10 or more web sites dedicated to the Cybiko. I was able to access email and chat with other users wirelessly on the internet from the little cybiko. You need two unit to do this, one needs to be attached to a computer on the internet, with the other (Client) you can roam the house with while accessing the internet (about 150 ft indoors).. Like another user already said "So many Toys, So little time" (Smile..) 03-06-2002 20:44:28

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile Musicman38: were you able to load the web interface to the Cybiko Extreme connected to your PC, or are you using the Cybiko Classic for this? I was unable to get the Virtual CyWIG application to communicate with my Cybiko Extreme, because the Extreme uses a USB connection only, and the CyWIG app expects a COMx: port connection. keith721 03-07-2002 10:16:34

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) wireless Profile You must use a Classic as a gateway. -wireless 03-07-2002 15:50:46

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email Yeah I agree ya must use the Classic as the gateway, just as well it's only $29.00 discounted. Is anyone doing anything else interesting with Cybiko ? I wonder if its possible to start separate thread on this BBS just for Cybiko. This machine has some real potential for hackers, and would love to see what whats it's true potential is. Musicman38 03-07-2002 20:18:56

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile Its is a intersting device. With the 4 color ( ok four level gray ) 160 x 96? display not bad. They even have on their site a free cutdown SDK or for so much a full SDK that I think plugs into MS Visual Studio. Not bad. Be a real cheep remote control for items. There was a article in a trade electronic mag that has a gameboy color as a inventory takes but was a hack to do. This would be much better. Plus it is radio based If both classic and extreme could be purchase for under 70 be a cute alternative-use system. 03-07-2002 21:15:46

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile Rats. Last night it was still at below 50 now its up to 69. 03-07-2002 21:24:54

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile Holy Nuts. I didn't know those little things allowed you to get on AIM wire-free! I'm interested now, but I'm still in the dark as to how I could do this. Can someone explain to me what all I would need to be able to use AIM wireless? I think from what I've read I need to have to cybikos, including one having to be a "classic" version, but then again I don't know. 03-07-2002 22:04:55

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email To get on AIM you need to have two cybiko computers. The one (The Classic $29.00) acts as the gateway to the internet. The gateway classic plugs into the serial port of your computer that is on-line to the internet. The other Cybiko (Wireless) either Classic or Extreme runs the MIA Chat software to access the internet through the gateway Cybiko.. Works very well.. There are 500 + program for the Cybiko and many being devoloped by users all software is free. The Classic is $29.00 , the Extreme is $49.00 internet price.. I would like to see some Home Automation programs for this little computer. Would be very cool.. 03-09-2002 00:07:14

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile When I get my next paycheck in, that's the first thing i'm gonna get...2 cybikos . I've just always thought it would be fun to chat with people in places like the bathroom. I tried to talk to my girlfriend while in the bathroom before, and she hung up on me. Go figure... 03-09-2002 09:39:15

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile Xtremes are on sale at buy.com again, $43.95, today only. http://www.us.buy.com/retail/DOTD/DOTD.asp?sku=70005362 . Remember, you need a classic model for the internet gateway. I snagged a couple off ebay for $20, NIB. There are several there with a $25 "buy now" price. 03-09-2002 10:00:23

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) piper Profile Cybiko Classic is on clearance at Staples (B&M only). (found this posted at Anandtech) 03-09-2002 10:02:14

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile http://www.kbtoys.com has the Cybiko Classic in stock for $29. search from the top of their page on Cybiko.. 03-09-2002 10:49:55

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I called around to several Staples. They confirmed $49.95 for Xtreme, $9.95 for Classic. Most stores were out of the Classic so check around. 03-09-2002 11:04:14

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile To my dismay, I don't think there's a Staples store around here (Memphis area) so it looks like I'm stuck buying them off of ebay or finding someone who has one they don't want anymore. Ick... 03-09-2002 13:08:17

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Tom61 Profile | Email Hmm... I need to pick up another Classic, since I only have one Classic right now. I got it not long after they came out, with the free MP3 player too (had to buy Smart Media for it, but no big deal). Cost me around $80, which isn't too bad just for a MP3 player at the time. Last time I checked my local Staples had about 20 of the Classics, hope there's a few left now. Also, I think the *free* MP3 player rebate is still going on for the Extreme (requires MMC or SD cards to work though). $50 + 5 shipping isn't too bad for a MP3 player, takes 4MB to 128MB. http://www.cybikoxtreme.com/mp3/get.asp 03-09-2002 13:53:56

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email Santa Clara (Coleman St.) still has a few... Classics for $9.50, Extremes for $49 or so. The white and blue Classics rang up as $9.50, but the pink/purple ones were still $40+. Go figure. Maybe because it is a girl toy (you know, girls like relationship / touchy-feely / organizational kind of games, which is just what the Cybiko was positioned as), so the pink ones are in higher demand. I just swapped my pink one for a white one when they were unwilling to adjust the price. If you have the same problem, include your wife/female SO/daughter in the negotiation. I bet they will give in easier that way. Anyway, there are still a few whites and blues left and a couple of display units. Mop 'em up while they're still around. 03-09-2002 17:11:21

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile Would anyone like to buy two classic cybikos for me? If someone could run by a Staples store and get 2 $10 classics, I would repay you and throw in a handheld RCA 2.2 inch color TV in mint condition. I can scan the TV under my scanner for pics if needed. 03-09-2002 22:58:31

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) pdp11 Profile bmurphr1, Does the TV have the AV input? Anyway I will check at the Staples here near my house in Lexington KY. Max 03-10-2002 07:14:08

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile Unfortunately it does not have AV input, only connections for headphones and power. Model number is L2200BC. 03-10-2002 07:29:41

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) pdp11 Profile bmurphr1, OK, anyway, I am on my way to check. What's your email in case I score. Max 03-10-2002 09:27:43

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) pdp11 Profile I checked the Lexington Turfland Mall location, none in stock. I called the New Circle location, none in stock (if he understood what I was talking about) Max 03-10-2002 11:00:23

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Tom61 Profile | Email bmurphr: my local store has some left if he can't find any. Everybody: If anybody else wants one or two (they had around 5 classics left), I be willing to get them for $20 each shipped (probably around $5-7 to ship them, so my profit isn't that high). Or price + trade. They had around 5 Extremes too($60 for those?). (Remember I need to find boxes too) Purple/blue price checked at $9.95, clear was $9.50. They still had $49 for the Classic, and $139 for the Extreme listed right below them, had the guy behind the counter check, and sure enough they were ~$10. I snagged a clear one (the one I wanted the first time I got one, but I oredered online with a coupon, and they can do color substituions), and their brand of CD-RWs ($11 for 10, not bad). They close in 30 minutes, so if you want one contact me tonight, and I'll stop by there before School tommorow. He removed the signs, so they may have $10 signs up tommorow (and my town likes cheap gizmos). tom61@iland.net (please put Cybiko in your subject line, as I get alot of spam.) 03-10-2002 16:49:31

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Tom61 Profile | Email Oh yeah if you hook one up to a PC, you can use WAP browsing on the other. http://www.cybiko.com/download/application/wap.asp 03-10-2002 16:59:59

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) lostet Profile bmurph1, Hi, I'd like to take you up on your offer IF you don't have a deal yet. I've got blues, clears nib and one purple display unit. My email is dkkcm@hotmail.com thanks, lostet 03-10-2002 18:26:40

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email I wonder if there is anyway one could get better RF strength from the little Cybiko. Perhaps an external antenna, or run some small antenna into the attic ? For the most part I can use mine all over my house, but on the far side of our house it does not work so well. BTW: The Virtual Cybiko Wireless Internet Gate is FANTASTIC !!!! I am very impressed !!!! Musicman38 Email to: musicman50@comcast.net Musicman 03-10-2002 18:55:56

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile I know the classic has a "cart" slot but can it take a CF card? 03-10-2002 22:47:47

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email No, the cartridge slot has a 68-pin connector similar physically to a PCMCIA socket, but very different electrically and logically. However, the pinout and signal definitions are available on the web, and includes the schematic of a memory card using serial 8-pin EEPROMs and SRAMs. The unit is essentially non-expandable but for the few modules originally offered for the slot (memory, mp3, ...). 03-10-2002 22:55:31

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile Tnks for the information. :) Rats! Be nice if it could, since I got a 16mb CF from Compusa a few week ago when they had 16mb for 20 - 20 rebate. Or hang a 2gb hd off of it! May be worthwhile to try an adapter card... 03-11-2002 00:46:04

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile With the Xtreme, you can use the media card in the MP3 player as additional memory. Not sure about the classic, but I think it works the same way. 03-11-2002 05:43:47

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile Went to their site and check out the links to the sales places but cant find prices on either the memory card or the MP3 player. Dont need the MP3 but the memory aspects would be intersting. What get me is the intersting games, price and tools to "build" thing for it. Mostly the price! Was thinking of a gameboy { orginal } for some interface projects but this looks much better. Esp with a keyboard. 03-11-2002 11:00:37

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Tom61 Profile | Email The Cybiko I got yesterday ended up having corroded batteries... Not to big of a deal for me since I was going to use my older one as an internet gateway, I'll just swap out the batteries with the old one. (these have flash storage, so you won't loose your memory) I don't like the newer packaging, heat bonded plastic which you have to cut open. It has a hole for serial and power, so if you already have a Cybiko you can test it out (at least see if it takes a charge). They no longer have an internet store, so no buying of replacement batteries it seems (except ebay). :( I'm gonna call thier tech support later and see if its possible to get replacement batteries... 03-11-2002 11:11:08

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I ended up with 4 classic units, 2 from ebay and 2 from staples (couldn't resist the price). At least 3 of the units had faulty power supply cords (wiggle the cord and the power flickers on the Cybiko). I haven't open the forth unit. Not good, especially since it usually requires a reset on the Cybiko after the power flickers. Also, at least one of the units had batteries that won't charge. Not sure about the others. I really like these machines, they are very innovative and powerful, especially for the price, but given all these problems I'm beginning to see why the company seems to be in trouble. I exchanged the unit with bad batteries for an Xtreme today, we'll see how that one does. 03-11-2002 11:40:58

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile Musicman38: i may very well be wrong on this topic, but don't the Cybiko units repeat/relay signals, effectively increasing the available range between two users? if that's the case, you may just want to place another unit somewhere centrally to perform this function. of course, i'm probably totally wrong, though keith721 03-11-2002 14:38:33

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) preacher Profile | Email Could you link 2 computers to 2 different Cybiko units and surf the web wirelessly from 1? What would the speed be? 03-11-2002 16:27:34

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile One problem on the power could be that very heavy RF filter near the power plug. That is one hugh heavy item! It could weakend the micro power connection. Have seen this happen on a lot of connectors over the years. So it may be wise to recharge while its laying flat with no strain on the power jack and if you are using it to unplug. Just grabed one yesterday and notice the humongus RF Filter on the power connector! actualy its too heavy and must be blocking a ton of noize from the unit. It had no problem yesterday but notice that it blink today when moving the connector. But does not crash the unit. There is an old ham trick of hooking two beam's back to back with a cable as a passive repeater. It works well esp at 1.296ghz. Hum. The problem is the frequency range and the frequency this unit runs at. Dident the BBC had a article on making a beam antenna from pringle can? If so it would fit well for this unit! ;) There has to be a signal strength level in there some where. I though I saw somthing on there site in the "hub" software. I hope they stay around! Its a cool toy. Esp with a SDK kit to create new thing for it. 03-11-2002 17:52:25

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile Thanks for all offers, but I've managed to score two cybikos. Thanks. 03-11-2002 19:00:51

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email The problem with batteries being bad on the older Cybiko's is likely due to the fact that many are several years old and have been on the shelf not being used. The replacement batteries seem to be pretty resonable on ebay. Have never had a problem with mine so far. After using the WAP browser software I am really excited, amazing. The Host PC shows all Cybiko computers in the network and email is almost instant. I sent several emails to my other PC and it got them in seconds, sent some to the Cybiko and it also got the emails in seconds.. Very Impressive.. Those curious check this out.. http://www.cybiko.com/download/application/wap.asp The AIM program (MIA Chat), if I am correct requires a purchase of a Serial Number from the devoloper at a cost of $9.95 per user (Bummer...) Wonder if that means I need a PW for each Cybiko.. Anyone Know ? Are there any freeware AIM or ICQ programs around yet ?? Musicman 03-11-2002 19:19:05

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email Hey why Doesn't someone start a Cybiko Forum on I-Appliance BBS. Seems we have some interest from many users already.. Musicman 03-11-2002 19:20:49

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) lmbco Profile Where are you finding all these $10 Cybikos? I went to several Staples (San Ramon and Modesto, CA) over the past two days and have only found $139 Cybiko Extremes and no legacy systems. The website lists them for list price. I would sincerely like to acquire two of these units. Anyone interested in helping out? Thanks, in advance. lmbco@aol.com 03-11-2002 20:14:26

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile In all 4 of the Staples I've been in, they still have the Cybikos labeled with the old price of $50 for classic, $139 for Xtreme. If you ask, they will scan it and be surprised that they have gone down in price. I have yet to meet a Staples employee who knew these were so cheap until they scanned it. In 2 stores, they had the classics hidden away in the back for some reason. If you call around, insist that the person on the phone look up the price in their computer. I'm in the Atlanta area BTW. 03-11-2002 22:24:05

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile The Staples I hit had them in the PDA section near the end with one of their tag stating it was $9.50. Bet most people though it was a miss marked since the other PDA near by were around 100+ and two were 500 Pocket PC! Also they were under lock and key. Huh? for a 10 dollar item? Intersting. Want to try out some controller ideas through the RS232 port and a few game ideas. 03-11-2002 22:44:20

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email lmbco: In addition to the advice about actually picking up a unit and getting it scanned for price, I would also suggest driving down and checking out the Milpitas and Santa Clara stores. They had some stock at $9.50 on Sunday, locked up in the stock-room. 03-12-2002 12:47:57

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I like the idea of starting a new forum for Cybiko - but while we're talking about it, these could be really great for hacking. The hardware is very portable, rechargable, wireless, and now that its so cheap I can see a lot of folks snapping them up, so there could be a sizable community of people out there looking to do some cool things with them. One nice thing is that the SDK is freely available, so you can get started creating new apps right away. One initial project I'de like to try is a very simple serial port "echo" client. You send a message from one Cybiko via RF, and a second Cybiko recieves the RF message and echoes it out its serial port. This could be used to remotely control pretty much anything with a serial port, and for just a $20 hardware investment! The API already provides functions for serial and RF I/O, so it should be pretty easy to do. BTW, the earlier comment from keith721 is apparently true. I have seen a number of references to the ability to increase the range by relaying signals through multiple units, although I haven't tried it myself. With a few strategically place units, you could easily cover a very large area. 03-12-2002 13:15:21

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Miyu2002 Profile The "cheep", RF, Serial port with SDK kit makes it a winner! Did find a rs232 program and the schematic on making a add on memory module. Heck there is a way to speedup the poor thing. Have a project for my self to see if I can shrink a program that runs on a PC down enough to fit on this even if I dump everthing except for minum stuff. The screen is a bit small but would work. With a term program, I can dump into my tool box to communicate with rs232 devices when I am out and about. Use to use a WP2 but this would be greate! There is a lot of info out there including anything to hack the heck out of this thing. And it plays games! Hum. Wonder if I could cram the two extra Flash and the extra 256k into the case... :) Another spare time eater! ;) A very strange little device! 03-12-2002 14:27:03

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Tom61 Profile | Email To those with dead batteries: I called Tech Support and they said to clean the contacts on both the batteries and inside the Cybiko with a pencil eraser then let it charge overnight. Seems like it'll work. I tried this partially, I cleaned the contact and let it charge for about three hours, and the battery meter still read 0%, so I shut it down and left it. I was about to call tech support today, because they mentioned replacement batteries last time I called, I hit Esc just to see what it'd do. It booted! It then complained about having a dead battery.

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email I am amazed at all the Applications there are for this little machine. Gotta check out this site.. How about BASIC, C, or even Visual Basic for this little guy.. Very Cool..!!! Check this site out.. http://www.devrs.com/cybiko/ I Has anyone used the MIA Chat program Yet ? Is there a freeware version of it yet ? OK , HOW DO WE GET A FORUM FOR CYBIKO on THIS BBS ? Musicman 03-13-2002 15:37:02

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile Man...I really like these things. Only one problem though. I can't get the freeware version of AIM (called CIM) to work. I have a classic running CyWIG now, and the client with CIM. The two find each other fine, but I can't get them to "shake hands" so I can get on AIM. Any idea what the problem is? I'm thinking it's the router we use (Linksys 4 port). I setup the host in a DMZ zone, but it still won't work. Suggestions? 03-13-2002 23:35:34

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile Interesting, I hadn't seen CIM before I read your post. I'll have to give it a try when I get home from work tonight. Given there is apparently almost no information available on this, I'm wondering if it is a finished app. I'm assuming your CyWig setup works with the WAP browser and email? These are working great for me. On the subject of CyWig, I see a big need for an expanded version of this software. For example, I want to be able to configure it to use my SMTP server and internet email as the return address when sending email. Also the SDK doesn't seem to have an API for internet access through CyWig. A library of functions for internet access through CyWig would open up a lot of possibilities. On another note, two of my units would not take a charge when I got them. Even though there was no visible corrosion or oxidation, I took out the batteries and cleaned them and the contacts, and now they seem to be working fine. Thanks to Tom61 for the tip. Also wanted to say that I shelled out $50 for an Xtreme, and I am very impressed. This is really a cool machine. It looks, feels, and works much much more like a real computer than a toy. Unfortunately it doesn't have nearly as many apps or games available for it, no WAP browser, and no serial port. I do like being able to charge it through the USB port - one less wall wort to find space for. 03-14-2002 06:08:36

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) preacher Profile | Email Has anyone figured out a way to read apps from the mp3 SD card yet? So far I haven't been able to figure out anyway to "see" this info from the Cybiko yet, only play mp3's from it. I know you can load stuff onto it other than mp3's, but can't run them. Any ideas? 03-14-2002 07:40:01

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I'm sure my MP3 player won't be arriving for quite a while. The users manual http://www.cybikoxtreme.com/mp3/mp3_guide_us.pdf has a section "Other uses of the MP3 cartridge" that explains how to store and access files. 03-14-2002 08:23:12

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I found a note on the Cybiko website that says Cybiko classic apps may run on the Xtreme, but there are no guarantees. So I tried the WAP browser and it works! When you start it up you get a warning about the app being compiled for another OS version, but then it starts right up and runs fine. You still need a Classic to run the CyWig gateway, but I'm glad the WAP browser runs on the Xtreme because the larger keyboard makes it so much easier to use. Just thought I'de let everyone know since I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere before. 03-14-2002 18:30:15

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile Well I was able to complete my serial port echo client with minimal effort. Just couple hours and I was able to hack up the supplied examples in the SDK to do what I wanted. I have a classic attached to the serial port on my PC, then I use another cybiko to send wireless messages. Whatever I type on my cybiko comes out of the serial port on the other unit and gets displayed in a terminal window. This should allow remote control of anything with a serial port interface. I'm thinking of using the Girder remote-control software. It has a serial port plug-in that should be able to read whatever I send and control anything on my PC. I don't think it would take much effort to make the communication 2-way and make this a wireless terminal. Not bad for a $20 investment! 03-18-2002 18:06:53

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) atemybuick Profile Thought I'd pass along a tip for picking up a Cybiko "Classic". A few weeks back I stopped by a Staples to see if they had any Cybikos left. They only had a rather beat up demo w/o a power adapter and so I didn't get it. Last weekend I was driving by a different Staples and just for grins stopped to see if they had any. They also only had the demo left. The price was $49 but I asked and of course it was only $9.50. Since it was complete I bought it (they even gave me 10% of cuz it was the demo). So then I headed back to the first Staples where, after much searching, the guy I'd talked to the week before determined that they'd already returned their demo since no one wanted it. Now here's the good part (finally!). While I was chatting with the sales guy I mentioned that there were still Cybikos available on Staples.com but they were $49. So what he had me do was set up an account on Staples.com and enter the store address for the shipping address. Then I ordered a Cybiko and selected the option to pay for it at the store. This prints out a couple of pages that I took to the register where he had the sales clerk charge me a "store price" of $9.50! And since I had it delivered to the store, no shipping charges. It arrived in two days and I just picked it up tonight. So if your Staples is out give this a try. You may need to find someone who remembers the $9.50 store price but maybe they can look it up. These are pretty cool little machines and well worth $20 to get a couple. 03-19-2002 20:08:25

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bmurphr1 Profile I have two blue cybikos on ebay now...I liked them, but I'm going to use the money for the laptop I just purchased.

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bflem82 Profile is there any way to hook these things up to the iopener via printer port adapter? ive had two classics just sitting around for about a year and a half and i wanna get using em 03-25-2002 22:04:27

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Musicman38 Profile | Email Bflem82, I don't think it would be possible (Practically Speaking) to hook one up to your Printer port. The Cybiko's need a serial port to work. The newer Extreem uses USB. If you have a serial port on your Iopener it could be done, if you run windows 95/98 on it. Unless you can write your own software, it would not work.. Don't know if anyone has adapted it for Linux yet either.. They are a fun little gadget anyway, i don;t know if I will ever do anything real serious with them, but it a very impressive device none the less.. The most fun we have here at my home is me playing dual player games against my daughter on two seperate units. Very Cool, I can send email from anywhere in the house, also very cool... 03-26-2002 17:12:22

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile Doesn't the IO have a USB port? You can get cheap USB->serial adaptors from pretty much any computer store or web site. Just add a serial port to your IO through USB and hook up your Cybiko to it. 03-27-2002 08:15:33

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) cybikocystems Profile http://www.cybikocystems.com Hi. First off, I am thrilled with all of your newfound happiness with the Cybiko Computer. I have had mine for over a year now (when it was 109.95 for the classic!), and I can't think of a better purchase I could of made. This device is EXTREMELY easy to develop for. It accepts C code, and it has it's own basic program, called CyBASIC. Also, by Greg of DevCybiko.com, there is a program called B2C. What it basically does is, one types in basic code, and saves it to a txt file, and runs it through the compiler, and makes it go at C speed, with the easiness of BASIC. First to answer your question, CIM is a different type of messaging. It's not AIM. Its sorta like a Cybiko to Cybiko chatting over the internet. It is pretty flawed, and usually does not work. At DevCybiko.com is MiaChat. MiaChat for cybiko is an AIM client, but requires a universal one-time 9.95 registration fee. But I believe that the first ten messages are free, or something like that. Also, from the same developer is something called QuinciChat, which is an ICQ client. This also requires the registration, but once you register one, all of his other programs are free. Cybla.com is the longest lasting Cybiko site out there. It is mainly a news site, but recently has become a slight developing site. Cybikohq.net is just another news site, with a couple developers. 4cybiko.com is a developing site. CybikoCystems.com is my site. We mainly develop games, but have created some apps in the past, including a password protection app for cybiko. Currently we are developing a super mario bros. clone called SWB (super wannabe bros.), CyZelda, Final Fantasy, and pocket football. *plug* CybikoCystems.com !! You can also learn cybasic there, and see some examples of B2C code. That's all I have to say for now. My AIM s/n is fluffy420420 and I can answer most if not all questions you have for cybiko, or developing cybiko... Also if you want, you can see the latest SWB demo by IM'ing me. (I need beta testers) http://www.cybikocystems.com 03-28-2002 09:18:01

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) Ultanium Profile I have a total of 4 of the classics. 3 for my kids, and one for me which is currently serving faithfully for WAP. I picked up the first one for $1 at Office Depot a year ago from the display after they were clearanced, Cybiko was good to me and sent me an owners manual, and charger. Funny thing is this display model has only 256k. Anyway, I won the second one in the Cybiko Rep contest a month after that, and bought 2 more last weekend @ Staples for $9.50 each. Overclockable, WAP, email, games, and a browser... The kids love them (and so does Dad!). The only thing I would really like to see for it is linux. There was supposedly a Cylinux project page setup but it has disappeared, and there is a company also called Cylinux. Don't think they were one in the same, but I was able to find this website with some nice info... :) http://www.skyfree.org/linux/embedding/h8-cross.html Ultanium 03-31-2002 16:05:37

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) RocketFuel Profile So much for MP3's. I bought a Cybiko Extreme in February and mailed my free MP3 player rebate form in on the 20th. I received a notification from Cybiko today in the mail that stated that the offer was "only while supplies last", and that they had already exhausted their supply by the end of February when they got my letter. They must not have given too many away since the Extreme hadn't been out long when I mailed the form in. Bummer. 04-12-2002 11:26:37

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile They ran out in February??? While I understand that the offer was "while supplies last", what I don't understand is why they had a HUGE ad on their main web page for a free MP3 player until just a few days ago. They must have known well before February that supplies were low and they wouldn't be able to fulfill all the requests. Although I already own an MP3 player, this was the only way to extend the Cybiko's rather limited memory. As far as I know, there isn't even a way to buy one, so I guess we're just SOL. 04-12-2002 12:43:30

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) RocketFuel Profile Yep, sucks bigtime. Apparently they did the same thing on the Classic. Sold it with a free MP3 player rebate coupon "while supplies last", then never sold the units individually passt then. I have only seen one MP3 player for the classic on eBay, and I didn't bid as high as I should have. It took SmartMedia cards, which I have a ton of for my digital camera. Heck, you can't buy any accessories for the little buggers. The new player (IF it exists !), takes SD or MMC cards, which are still pricey. It's still a neat little unit, but an MP3 player would have been sweet! 04-16-2002 22:03:33

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jhd3rd Profile I just posted my serial port echo app to the CybikoDev Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CybikoDev ) in the "Files" section in the "echo" folder. Just a couple versions of the app and a readme.txt for now, but I hope to put up some girder files sometime soon. I hope someone finds this useful. Here's a copy of the readme.txt: Based on Network and Serial tutorial apps provided in the Cybiko SDK. This simple app allows you to send wireless messages from one Cybiko ("sender") to another ("echoer") that then outputs your message to the serial port. The echoer must be a Cybiko Classic as the Xtreme has no serial port. Connect the echoer to a serial port, start Echo, and hit <Esc> when asked to choose a partner. The screen will show "Listening for messages ...". Start Echo on the sender, and choose your echoer as a partner. echo_word.zip contains the "whole word" version. Type a message, hit <Enter>, and the message will be echoed on the serial port of the echoer. echo_char.zip contains the "single character" version. Type a character, and the character will be echoed on the serial port of the echoer. If you type too fast, characters will be missed. Please let me know if anyone can improve this. You can use the Cybiko Console to see the serial port output, or a terminal program set to 57,600 bps. This app can be used with the program "girder" available from http://www.girder.nl. Using the serial port plugin, girder can be configured to control your PC based on messages it receives from the serial port. Feel free to use this stuff any way you like. I would love to hear about any suggestions, improvements, etc. 04-25-2002 05:24:53

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 2 times) RocketFuel Profile Tom-My info came directly from Cybiko. I have a Classic and an Extreme, and I registered them on the Cybiko website when I bought them. They send occasional e-mails about various things, and this is where I got it. I received the e-mail on the 22nd of April. Cybiko is a weird company. The MP3 players for the Extreme and Classic are available from Cybiko England all day long, but not available (other than through an e-mail like this) in the US. I think Cybiko is a Russian company from what I have read. Wherever they are, they're not too good in their business practices. My guess is that the "we've cleaned up and found 200! Hurry!" crap is a gimmick. They should have my check by now, so we'll see what happens!! 04-30-2002 20:52:25

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) TomC Profile My local Staples (Springfield, PA, near Philadelphia) has the Classic for $9.95 and the Xtreme for $29.95.

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) RocketFuel Profile The pricing is strang on the Extreme here locally. Toys-R-Us has it for $159.99, but Staples has always had it for $46.95.

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) RocketFuel Profile qDot-They won't ship to the US. Somebody there needs to buy them and put them on eBay. They'd make a killing. The guy from the English division of Cybiko said that they won't sell to the US because we already have distributors here. Of course, none are selling the amount of accessories that they have in England (so far), so I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for someone in America to pick up the slack. 05-07-2002 19:56:34

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) qDot Profile | Email http://www.cybla.com/ Well, according on the letter from Kathy Volpi, General Manager of Cybiko US, it looks like they're gearing down the US market, and moving to foriegn markets to try and actually make some cash. So I doubt we'll see any more big production of the MP3 players in the US. :/ However, as can be seen with the rest of the appliances on linux-hacker, just because the product has lost support or production doesn't mean it's dead to us. :) Kyle 05-11-2002 03:10:01

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bizcoach Profile Anyone doing anything with these? I just got a classic on e-bay for $10 and will be using it as an MP3 player for my car. Is anyone doing any really crazy stuff with this? 09-10-2002 11:24:35

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) wireless Profile Actually, I am working on quite a few things... 1) Using the Cybiko as a Weather client for the Radio Shack Wireless Weather station. 2) Allowing general serial traffic between Junction Cybikos and a Junction Cybiko to many Cybiko Clients. 3) planning on using the Cybiko for X10 control and TiVO control. I may be releasing the binaries at some point. -wireless 09-10-2002 12:03:02

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bizcoach Profile Wow. My kind of guy. Are you still running the native OS? 09-11-2002 09:26:38

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bizcoach Profile Who are the many other Cybiko clients that you're hosting? 09-15-2002 08:43:26

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) jrmandy Profile how goes the X-10?i have too many problems with mine..but im interested in the control of it by the cybiko 09-23-2002 17:06:57

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) wireless Profile bizcoach- I am not sure I understand your question... -wireless 10-01-2002 13:09:42

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bizcoach Profile You said "Allowing general serial traffic between Junction Cybikos and a Junction Cybiko to many Cybiko Clients." Just curious if you have several Cybikos at your house or a neighborhood thing going on. Biz 10-05-2002 09:23:54

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) wireless Profile jrmandy- X10 goes ok... I need to get integrated hardware instead of the wall warts though (looks better). bizcoach- oh... no just me now... but I do have a lot of them! I have actually started a business using them (and the Virgin Connects)! More on that later! 10-07-2002 07:53:07

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) bizcoach Profile Has anyone figured out how to use the memory slot on the classic? I've read where someone got a pcmcia modem to operate, which would imply some adherance to pc-card standards. Is the key to making it work finding a way to format the card under the Cybiko OS? 10-11-2002 14:22:22

RE:Cybiko Web Pad (modified 0 times) gengar56 Profile | Email Format what card? The standard Cybiko memory card? You can do that through CyberLoad, the software that some people use to download games and apps to the Cybiko. In reply to: "The AIM program (MIA Chat), if I am correct requires a purchase of a Serial Number from the devoloper at a cost of $9.95 per user (Bummer...) Wonder if that means I need a PW for each Cybiko.. Anyone Know ? Are there any freeware AIM or ICQ programs around yet ??" (Sorry if it has been answered, I just happend to run into it,) MIA Chat is now free. Originally yes, you did need to purchase a password from the developer for each Cybiko. There are no, and never have been, any other Cybiko AIM or ICQ clients besides MiaChat and QuinciChat (ICQ for Cybiko). Greg Smith of www.devcybiko.com is, undoubtedly, the best developer in the small Cybiko Community.
