Re: Omnia 2 coming soon with big VZ

Using an external touchscreen would be tricky but possible. It's tricky because a touch screen is two devices in one. It's and output device and an input device. For you to be able to use a peripheral touch screen you already know the omnia has the output TV but now you have to get the input part to work. IF the O2 has a mini usb that would be a step in the right direction but you'll see need to get a driver so the O2 knows what to do with the signal coming from the peripheral touch screen. And that's the hard part...and will not likely happen.

A different approach would be to find a way to get the input to work through blue tooth, since blue tooth is more universal. But this creates a problem to translate the signal coming from the touch screen to something a blue tooth device can use.


In other words....you'd be lucky to get it to work.
