    About Pyra's Debian i18n

    Do these IMs actually need an additional Modifier (i.e. does it actually input the symbols printed on the keys)? I assumed it works like Pinyin where you activate the IM that converts ASCII character sequences to the target characters.

    Reseller for 4G modem

    It wasn't meant that way. It was just an example of a method to juggle the money of 750 preorders to work around the modem's MOQ of 500 units. Unless ED has significant funds left from investors (outside the preorder), there won't be enough money to pay for both 500 modems of the EU and US...

    Reseller for 4G modem

    Assuming it will be possible to sell at least 500 units of the standard, EU, and US versions each within the near future, a fallback plan could look like this: The preorder is already close to have gathered enough money to buy parts for and build 500 EU units and 500 standard units (the 750 unit...

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    But (unless there are significant issues) it seems quite reasonable (when considering Pandora sales and the Pyra preorder) to assume that he will sell several thousands of units. If I had - let's say - half a million EUR (or even 100,000) I'd ask ED for investment conditions.

    video playback quality

    Notaz and M-HT have done further work on the DSP side. edit: But I don't disagree with the assessment of the situation.

    Additional Questions & Suggestions to help generate more pre orders.

    Possibly, but polling is probably easier to implement first.

    About Pyra's Debian i18n

    Splitting the double width space and remapping the keyboard area shift (there will be another shift on one of the shoulder buttons) would do the trick. (Mainlanders have it easier, pinyin IM will work fine.)

    Pyra Media Coverage

    Hoperfully there is less variance in production than with the Pandora. With the Pyra's keyboard backlight I actually don't care that much, though. For me the only use case for not using my Pandora fully opened is typing passwords in total darkness. Still I think that renders of half opened Pyras...

    Pyra Media Coverage

    Does the hinge actually allow usage at the angle shown in the render? I thought it is still the '~170° only' design.

    Problematic center in preorder notice header

    The imminent problem with the CENTER tag is that the closing tag is missing (according to HTML 3.2 - it has been removed from later versions - it requires the closing tag). Currently the browser is forced to guess where the CENTER is ending (and Dillo's guess - at the end of the page - is...

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    FWIW such reasoning would be incorrect at a math test in school around here. (Because unless the standard is explicitly given the target of the comparison implicitly becomes the standard (making the correct operation a multplication instead of an addition).)

    Finalizing everything!

    But is it really necessary to tell the world about such a private decision, especially when the product in question desperately needs all the positive spin it can get?

    GPS, compass, etc

    I'm wondering whether it is intended irony that the PLS8-V is the one that doesn't do voice.

    Problematic center in preorder notice header

    The preorder notice contains a stray center tag. I've added a hack to dillo, so it is no longer confused, but - considering that center is old and obsolete - it is probably a good idea to nuke it.

    Hardware Face Recognition/Image Stabilization

    Since they don't sell it in sufficient numbers, they would be wasting even more money. A couple thousand Pyras will not change that. I don't know how ED/HNS envision kernel development. Will it be done under the umbrella of http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=summary or is it a...

    Ram & eMMC costs / power drain

    Please describe in detail. In theory the MMU should just handle it fine. Where are the problems?

    Ram & eMMC costs / power drain

    Why? Is there a significant overhead with the page table setup involved?

    FS-UAE on Pyra?

    Ok, sorry. I was only annoyed at seeing something that most probably took thousands of hours titled unprofessional. That seemed unfair to me, especially because according to change log it looks like a lot of work went into being able to share code with the other UAEs (especially WinUAE), so that...

    [In development] Covert World

    Have you looked at gearheadrpg.com? I think the author has very similar goals (and some of his games are on the repo, nicely ported by ptitseb).

    FS-UAE on Pyra?

    Actually I think this is pretty disrespectful to the UAE4ARM author. Unfortunately there is no dislike button on this forum.
