It's rendering millions of cubes which all adds up at 6polys each. I guess its down to poor occlusion culling and, possibly, it being written in java. But, yes, it's a dog to run, particularly on a populated server. But it's a hell of a lot of fun. Here's hoping for some optimisation soon.

Hell yes. I've been playing on the World of Minecraft servers, where I'm now a Designer. See Badlands for my Tie Fighter. I want the freakin' source for a native Pandora port. As much as I'd like to think the Java version will run on Pandora with a recompile of all the required native libs...

I'll find a way to use them both at the same time, damn it, I'll find a way! The Pandora is definitely going to be the more enduring and alluring of devices, which is a good thing as the iPad will no-doubt be stolen frequently by my fairer half who does not have a laptop to call her own and...

Pre-ordered my iPad at around 1am this morning. It's supposed to arrive on the 28th. Anyone want to bet which will come first? iPad or Pandora.

Damn you! I Googled Minecraft and lost 3 days of my life!

I would tend to agree, it'll be interesting to see whether or not the TV-out on the Pandora is any better.

I'll be publishing a review to Gadgetoid, probably a first impressions with unboxing video/photos first, as the Pandora is a complex and full featured beastie that'll take a while to give a well rounded opinion of. The forums will be ablaze with either unabated whining about small things, or...

Pandora is definitely a winner on the gaming front. Carrying around a PS3 control pad just to game on the move with your N900 is a little impractical... also, you can't hold both the N900 and game pad at the same time unless you have at least 3 hands. Trying to play even emulators on the...

The extra 768mb is actually a specifically purposed discrete NAND(?) flash chip, that's faster than the 32GB of flash memory onboard the phone. *Not* a swap file as it was in the N8X0. The N900 does not have a digital compass. I currently rock an N900, and love what I can do with it: torrent...

Ahh, the GP2X. Makes me feel like an oldbie, but all the GP32 owners would laugh in my face. I was an early-adopter and paid the price in immature software. Back then I wasn't much cop at getting anything written on it, although it did spur my interest in games development and had me write a...

It's Apple. Of course it's deliberate. Suffice to say, I want one... but my upgrade-on-ice will probably be used to get one for t'other half.

Yeah, so they keep saying. Oh well, Two Months. Now I really don't know if the iPad or Pandora will come first...(for those of us in the UK). Wagers anyone?

dun dun dun da dun da dun da-dun

Oh come on. Man up and let them break your legs. Bones heal faster than bitter disappointment and regret.

You're my hero. (for the rest of the day, anyway)

Seeing it in the flesh will certainly placate the masses of complainers and renew some of that waning faith in the Pandora. If only you were sending some of these lovely completed Pandora's out to more specialist, understanding members of the press *hint hint* so that they could keep everyone...

I'd rather paint it myself. As long as replacement cases are available to buy at a reasonable price, just in case I screw it up. I still have a (very badly painted) silver dreamcast, and it still works.

Send me an unpainted Pandora. Tell me what paint to paint it with. And sell spare cases just in case I screw it up! I wish I could say that I'm sick and tired of waiting, but this whole thing is mildly entertaining and the excruciating wait for the iPad is serving well to distract me. Still, I...

Back at 600mhz, I don't want my N900s processor to electromigrate.

I've never heard of a solution to the lack of USB host support but, hey, you learn something new every day! I could easily believe that Maemo slows down emulators, it does a good enough job of slowing itself down... which is why an overclock to 900mhz is so nice. It actually runs at a decent...
