I'm not sure where you are talking about, so I can't really comment on it. However, if you manage to fit something there, then more power to you. ;) -God Ginrai

Where else would he fit the camera but where the gaming inputs are? Given that there is no space for a camera in the lid, due to the large screen. I pointed that out earlier. -God Ginrai

His request looked like a lot of the requests we saw after the Pandora pre-orders were over. Most of the requests then were exactly that. -God Ginrai

And I explicitly stated that we should not dismiss actual possibilities in hope that someone will provide something better down the line. (because that won't necessarily happen) Instead, we should move forward while remaining flexible enough to consider new possibilities when they become...

Do not speak of it, lest you invoke it! <.< Maybe I read your post wrong? The way I interpreted your original response to me was that that was a list of reasons why the Pyra should have a camera in it. I was merely explaining that those reasons could be solved by other devices and it was not...

This one still has my vote. I always wanted the Pandora in this color, and I would be very satisfied to receive the Pyra in this color. -God Ginrai

You are still ignoring the fact that I said that those who were using it as a phone could do so. For all other users, I pointed out that they already have a phone that likely can serve the purpose for everything in Caine's list. You told me my response was "take a camera with you." The only...

Actually, I said that before Caine's post. In response to his post, I pointed out that a phone does all of this. And said that for those who were going to use their Pyra as a phone, that they could carry the camera with their other accessories. It's a real solution considering that the Pyra...

A car has plenty of room to add these things in. I didn't say "Even if we have room, damn the cameras". If I cared about features I was unlikely (or don't intend) to use being included when there is room for them to fit, I would have complained about rumble being added to the Pyra long ago...

Have you even looked at what these companies have to offer? It's been mentioned twice in this topic alone that AMD only has server SoCs that would not be satisfactory for use in the Pyra. Broadcom, Marvell, and ST Micro all offer chips that don't even offer the same kind of functionality that...

All of this could be done with a camera or most any phone nowadays, with the exception of QR-code scanning. (which only the phone would be able to do) You don't need to carry laptop, gaming handheld, phone, and laptop around, but there is no reason someone can't carry 2 from that list together...

Honestly, I feel like you want a different device. The Pyra's niche is that it is both a gaming device and a portable computer. Saying "take out the gaming controls" is basically the same as saying you don't actually want the Pyra. Besides, the reason a front-facing camera is not possible is...

I realize that. I am not suggesting he didn't. I'm talking about considering options for the CPU upgrade board. He doesn't have another TI chip to consider this time around. This leaves him with Allwinner, nVidia, Rockchip, and maybe Intel (if he can get some Atom SoCs before they are...

The topic title specifically asks "able to upgrade not just the speed, but manufacturer of CPU?". This means that the OP was interested in upgrading the CPU, and hopefully being able to choose from other manufacturers when doing so. I am not denying that ED's reasons exist, nor do I think...

A topic about cpu upgrades is hardly the place to suggest not discussing cpu upgrades. That's basically the same as just asking to close the topic. There's a difference between "having morals" and "sticking your nose into the air". You are trying to paint what you are saying as having...

You realize that someone posted about this here before Ars even had an article about it, right? Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU? -God Ginrai

And what would you suggest, then? TI has given up on mobile SoCs, Intel is discontinuing the Atom, Freescale is basically gone, Rockchip has no Linux drivers, and Samsung and Qualcomm won't sell to us. You can act all high and mighty about who you should pick to use in your product, but if you...

If you look at it from nVidia's perspective, they see it as performing a background check before selling a gun. Gun sellers and manufacturers care that this happens, so that some crazy bastard doesn't shoot people up and tarnish the names of their guns by reminding people of the <insert name...

Eh? nVidia merely dictated who they will sell to. That's no different than Samsung, who also refused to sell to EvilDragon. The difference is, nVidia gave a condition that EvilDragon could choose to meet in order for them to sell to him. There is support for the A80 in Linux mainline, so...

I've been around since the GP2X, and there is one thing I want to tell you: With devices like these, the time after launch is the most exciting time to have the device. Developers are putting out software almost daily, and you're always wondering what interesting software you'll get to try...
