    Has anyone tried a scanner with the pandora?

    Scanners also have a far, far higher resolution.

    possible soc updates.

    Grench, that benchmark is ancient... it was run in 2010, and android's webkit has had some significant improvements since. My phone (samsung infuse: cortex A8 overclocked to 1.6Ghz, 512MB ram, android 4.3) runs sunspider in 2193ms. Or 2721ms at the stock 1.2Ghz. So that makes the atom ±6x faster...

    3DS Emulator and 3D screen for Pandora's Successor?

    No, they probably introduced the 2DS because that autostereoscopic screen still is too expensive, and Nintendo wanted to lower the base price. Besides, it was a pretty lousy screen anyways (low resolution, low viewing angles). Far fewer people would have issues with it if that screen were...

    Impractical Pandora-successor names

    Pan2 -> PanTwo -> Pantoo (with a dash of linux mascot, but too tacky) -> Panto

    128GB Lexar SDXC card benchmarks

    Eehm, FAT is pretty much guaranteed to get corrupted if you're not careful with it.... And it issues several tiny writes for every write, which is slow and quite damaging to your flashcard... (though it'll take decades of heavy use to kill it...)

    Release LWJGL

    How about spoutcraft, which is an opensource launcher and mod for minecraft that pretty much reimplements minecraft's renderer (among other things)?

    Class 10 SD cards worth it?

    There's little to no difference between class6 and class10. For a long time, class6 was simply the highest speed-class defined... However, by now, <class10-cards are mostly just old cards, and not really any cheaper than class10's (they start at ~.50/.60Eur/GB). Any decent modern SD-card should...

    Pandora is WAY overpriced????

    @ANDROID: some minor additions: Samsung, which sells most androids, doesn't lock its bootloaders. most others allow you to unlock it. Which, IMNSHO, is just plain stupid. It increases the costs and maintenance-burden, and decreases the driver's quality (less Q/A and lower-quality code), and...

    Pandora 2: Battery

    Moving the USB-port won't help, as you still have the shoulderbuttons. If you move the stylus-storage to the screen, you can get 33% additional space for the battery (though currently the headphone-connector and volume-wheel are a bit in the way). If you do that, you can make (well, almost...

    Ways to encrypt an SD card?

    An earlier version of truecript's license said that nothing in the license should be construed as a covenant not to sue for copyright-infringement, effectively mooting the license... Luckily, that part got changed in the current license, and now only applies if you do not comply with the...

    Why EXACTLY is GameCube emulation so "unachievable"?

    There's currently an arm-port of dolphin (and a GLeS3-video-plugin) in development. Here's the git-branch. Don't know how far along it is, but with the speed at which ARM-chips are getting faster, I guess we'll be able to play gamecube-games on handhelds/smartphones relatively soon.

    New 95MB/s SanDisk SD card. Results.

    I wrote a small script a few years ago to test latencies, found here. It's not perfect, but will do the trick.  For a more real-world benchmark, you can also check /sys/class/block/*/stat after using the card for a while. Divide the 8th number by the 7th to get the average wait-time per write...

    New 95MB/s SanDisk SD card. Results.

    Can you also test the random(4k)-write-speed of all your cards? That's the only thing that'll show significant differences on the Pandora, and is quite important if used for the OS.
