    If You Weren't Getting A Pandora, What Would You Get?

    Thanks for the replies all. Much appreciated, and all very interesting. I still haven't decided what to go for yet, I'm still bumming around on my PSP-3000. Granted, it's not got a permanent CFW running on it, but I am running Gen-C and the Prometheus patch (via ChickHEN). I just pop it in...

    If You Weren't Getting A Pandora, What Would You Get?

    Just curious about what handheld device people would be going after if they weren't getting their Pandora. Say you wanted something to game on, preferably with gaming controls like the pandora and something as feature rich as the Pandora. Something you didn't need to have a phone built in. What...

    Talks From A Assembly Company.

    It's mentioned in this thread that they can assemble approx 3 devices per hour (3.5 if you go by the 17 minutes comment). 8 people volunteering their time for 10 to 12 hours a day. With that said, per day, one person can assemble a minimum of 30 devices and a maximum of 36. With 8 people doing...

    Keyboard Leds Possible Mod ?

    Down the track when I get a second unit for modding, I'll solder in some LED's and Resistors to do a backlight. In the meantime, however, I'll just use a USB booklight type thing. Something akin to this.

    Video Encoding

    How's this little beast going to cope if I plug a TV Tuner into it and run Myth on it? Think it'll handle encoding HD? I wouldn't mind setting it up to record and encode video, then have a task to copy the files to my NAS where I can watch stuff on the big screen. I don't have a spare box to set...

    Mobile Broadband

    Just a note that while I got a good plan from internode for dirt cheap, they offer plans for $15.00 p/month too. Pricey, but not too bad. Great ISP too, particularly for downloaders/gamers/software addicts.

    Mobile Broadband

    My plan is grandfathered through Internode (and mates rates due to a friend who works there). The modem is indeed Huawei. A Huawei E1762 to be exact. I can opt for the other E160E. Both are free with a 24 month contract.

    Mobile Broadband

    Okay, so assuming WiFi isn't up and running at release, I think I can survive without it. It just means *cringe* I'll have to use my eeepc for browsing or at worst, my PSP3k. Anyway. My plan is to get roaming broadband through my ISP. My current ADSL2 plan allows me to pickup roaming broadband...

    Linux Os?

    I noticed VNC has been brought up a few times in this thread. Using VNC to remote control another computer? While that works, I don't think there's a VNC viewer available that handles directx. If you try with a stock vnc viewer, all you get is a black screen. Your cursor will be visible...

    Case Mods

    For the Steam-Punk one, the plan is to: - Copperplate using copper sulphate and a red oxide solution. - Etch - using a car battery/salt water solution - the edges, base and top. I'll use some sort of old Victorian embroidery/decoration around the case and around the outside of the lid. - I'll...

    Case Mods

    Agreed. That's why I was hoping to be able to purchase a spare one. I'm not touching the Warranty voiding topic with a 10-foot pole ;) I don't expect they'll set up a gallery for pics as that would indicate they could care less if you crack the case open, but I look forward to sharing my case...

    Case Mods

    I plan on getting a second down the track and making a Steam-punk themed Pandora. I think that's appropriate.

    Case Mods

    Heya guys, Simple question: Will spare Pandora cases be available for purchase? I'm not sure if they're difficult to put together, but I'd love a spare so I could paint up a case - just to be a little different. I plan on looking into protective, transparent case for mine for protection, but...

    Frying An Arm Chip

    I can't seem to find much on the dangers of overclocking, only that "it's dangerous to overclock". Maybe suggestions that life expectancy (for the device) is lower, which I imagine is true if it's operating above recommended settings. My Intel E8600 is overclocked to 400x10 @ 1.3v (3.3ghz to...

    Pandora People Map

    I seem to be the only Pandora pre-order/future-user in Australia. =(
