    I just noticed that Amazon in the UK is selling class 10 Transcend 16GB and 8GB SDHC Cards. Should be good for Pandora's I guess. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-16GB-SDHC-Class-Memory/dp/B002WE4HE2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274771931&sr=8-2) Peace! Edit: Correction, Go Memory...

    Pandora As A Remote Control

    I am interested in both TV Remote Control and GPS. If there is a spare serial port then I would use the Transmit for TV remote and the Recieve for Sat NAV. A custom PCB would have to be made but that is not so hard. IRDA does not work well because it's optical frequency is different from that...

    Should The Pandora Become An Ubuntu Partner?

    As people point out what makes Ubuntu succesful on the desktop does not fully translate in to the MID as Intel would call it. Ubuntu however are working hard in the MID and Nettop space with both Intel with Moblin and ARM in this area. That alone makes Ubuntu worthy of a port to Pandora. Let...

    New Sourcery G++ released

    I have used an earlier version of Sourcery G++ on a Luminary Micro Cortex M3 part. I only used it for a bit of hacking but I did get it working for me. That was a few months ago.
