You may be being sarcastic, but in case you aren't, this will not have the desired effect

To those talking about "necromancy" and "do not suggest list", this topic has been grandfathered in, so to speak. As long as everyone plays nice, we'll let you talk all you want about PDAs/mobile devices/tablets/whatnots in this topic. It gives one convenient place to read (or ignore!) all of the discussion on them and gives everyone an outlet to express their opinion on them.

[ChunLing]

Just as an outlet, then:

OHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASE!!!!

Erhm. Yeah, I eagerly await PDA implementation.

Indeed. I find it much easier to moderate a SINGLE topic rather than dozens. I have no problems with this topic, as the majority of its posts have been useful suggestions.

I like the map idea. I'm not sure if this is what you guys mean, but my idea of it is, you have the tablet thing, you can see the screen, you right click to start accepting user input, esc to stop. (but the screen stays on the tablet and does not get any larger.)

Although, you guys may be referring to, you see the tablet, right click to make the same interface as the normal computer popup. I do not support that idea.

[PixelToast]

theres already a PDA mod, it dosent have the map like thing but you right click to open the UI
it does rely on a computer and a transmitter though

[Sebra]

That is the second mod called PDA without PDA in it. It is only remote console.

[3LiD]

Ok I know that a "laptop/PDA/tablet" is planned but instead I have an idea towards...

This may not work with something like a laptop but the idea is that the tablet/pda is opened like map where you can make the screen visable an not visable like you would with a map... On top of that I think maybe the tablet should come with built in rednet and a lower ammount of "ram" to make it more realistic.

Tell me what you think.

[Shnupbups]

You have no IDEA how much map-PDAs are suggested. Built in rednet? Maybe if you crafted it with a wireless modem. Lower amount of ram? You mean data space, right? But that would make sense.

[GopherAtl]

Literally no detail of this suggestion has not been suggested at least half a dozen times before.

Is there any word on having to charge PDA's? I thought it would balance the portability of them a bit. Tell me if i'm wrong.

This is not a necro post, I am simply avoiding making a new topic then have it merged with this one.

The majority of people seemed to be against the idea, but I don't remember if Cloudy said anything about it.

I quite like the idea. it kinda keeps the balance. only downside I see it clearly it wont use coal. so what would it use. redstone block?

I assumed it would integrate with Universal Electricity. Which would be a huge pain in the ass if we had to set up a generator station and whatnot just to use a damn PDA. And yeah, coal doesn't make sense. But I guess I wouldn't mind if it ran off redstone.

[Cloudy]

Any UE integration is now out of the question. I doubt you'll have to charge them.

Why would you assume it would use that horrible thing?! Plus i could never see them relying on another mod to use an item in the vanilla mod.

Wasn't that originally said about turtles too?

Nope. It was always planned, dan just forgot before release

So, being unable to use redstone and peripherals is not enough balance?
