I bet we can get the Sony people on board for some donations ... I know I really rely on the tag/collection thing with my 950. |
Given that I did a lot of work on the current Sony driver, I am probably best placed to do this integration work. I am willing to do it if either a T1 arrives in my mailbox or the money to purchase a T1 is made available somehow. I am now living in France, and according to Sony France, the T1 will be available here the end of October for a price of €149 (approximately US$200).
I can set up a chip-in account if there is enough interest. Alternatively I can provide an appropriate Euro-denominated PayPal address, which would be better for people who don't live in US$ because we would avoid double currency conversions. If I take the latter approach I would post progress here. In both cases I would refund all the contributions if the goal is not reached, as happened with my proposed Android project some time back.
Note that I can't commit that the T1 will integrate to the same level as the previous Sonys until I see it. Assuming kolenka is correct it should be possible, but the devil will be in the details (Kindle collections are a great example of ways to break integration). Also note that I expect to support the device using the cable, not over WiFi.
