    I just found this little guy at SparkFun: GE864 Eval Board. It isn't as nice as the UC864 chipset, but it might be OK for getting some of the AT commands settled out and working on a GUI frontend. They are out of stock at the moment, but I am hoping that they will be back in stock around the...

    Hardware Development

    That's more or less what I thought would be the case. I probably won't mess with that then. However, I feel with a certain degree of case-modding, I believe the cellular chipset is not impossible, although it won't fit in the stock unit. I am OK with this. Thanks for all your responses, as...

    Hardware Development

    As this is an open source handheld, I was wondering how many people are interested in hacking the hardware? I for one would like to change the TV out to VGA out and add a cellular chipset so I can take a Pandora with me and not need another device. Along these lines, does anyone know what sort...

    Gameboy Cartridge/edge Connector

    I know it isn't a Gameboy Connector, but the snega2usb is a similar device for SNES and Genesis cartridges.

    Pandora Pandora As A Usb Controller For Pcs?

    I know that the nubs on a DS3 are supported via QT-SixA in Ubuntu over BT. Perhaps something similar could be used to interface the Pandora? If nothing else, maybe one could add support for the Pandora by making it be seen as a DS3 with attached keypad? I am not sure how to get QT-Sixa to run on...

    I think that a three pronged approach isn't a bad thing as long as we can do it. I haven't heard anything back from Telit on the availability of their unified form factor modules which makes me think I may need to call them, or use one of the other Telit modules available as they appear to be...

    Kid Icarus Evolution (Working Title)

    I am going to keep an eye on the new Starfox (Shadows of Lylat), and see what happens legally with them. If something bad happens there, then we should call it something else ala Secret Maryo Chronicles. Changing a couple names shouldn't take much time. Also, I kinda like your suggestion of...

    I am still interested in pursuing the addition of cellular call functions to the Pandora. I will likely be getting an Always Innovating Touchbook this fall, and as it shares much of its hardware with the Pandora, hope to get a cellular module running in it and then open source the code. This is...

    Kid Icarus Evolution (Working Title)

    I have some coding experience, but as this would be my first game, I was hoping to do something along the lines of NES or SNES graphics. At the most maybe Donkey Kong Country style SNES, but I wouldn't hope for anything too awesome unless someone good with graphics wants to work on that part...

    Music For Your Stuff!

    This music is spectacular! I will certainly consider using this as I am planning to do a remake/update of Kid Icarus and something 8-bitty would be perfect since it was only released on NES and GameBoy. This is going to help a lot of us who wanted to make games and thought, "Gee, IDK what I'm...

    So... I'm confused. Does Google voice use the data or cell connection? Thanks jb0yx for working on all this!

    Kid Icarus Evolution (Working Title)

    I am considering making a clone or fan game based on Kid Icarus, the insanely hard NES game that for some reason I can't get enough of. It's been almost 2 decades since a Kid Icarus game, but I thought it might be interesting to make an SNES style game to update the franchise in a fan game sort...

    Pandaphone

    Do you mean as a VOIP client, or just as a way to interface with more traditional phones? At the moment Google Voice is not a VOIP client from the information I have read, although it may come later. The main appeal with having a cellular voice/data connection is having always accessible...

    I have been considering building a modular ARM based smartbook for some time, and would like to help with development as soon as my finances stabilize a bit. Perhaps developing the protocol would work best interfaced to a BeagleBoard at the moment to make sure all the embedded parts work? You...
