    Hardware compatibility list

    I think I remember one of the devs saying that the current pandora kernel includes NONE of the built-in drivers, only the driver for the on-board WiFi. That means anyone trying will also have to compile their own driver. Just went to update the wiki, and it already says this: The Pandora...

    Hardware compatibility list

    well, things like WiFi dongles won't work, because the drivers are not included - so in some cases 'known working' is much more useful than a guess...

    Hardware compatibility list

    It's good to remind people to look at and contribute to the wiki, since people are generally only looking at the FAQ and user guides sections (which is where most of the content used to be in the early days) As a reminder, feel free to add info, or mention things on the talk pages (which are...

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/MEDIA/test.file bs=1M count=512 class4 PNY: 92.1s, 5.8MB/s class6 Samsung: 69.3s, 7.7MB/s Both cards 16GB, FAT32 Read to /dev/null Class4: 15.3MB/s Class6: 14.7MB/s so not much difference.

    Battery Drain

    The LEDs are single colour. It would be possible to blink an LED when charged (since there is a driver to do this when below a threshold). http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-libraries.git;a=blob;f=apps/pndevmapperd.c;hb=HEAD

    android on pandora

    I don't think you asking for a port has much weight. It's not in the same class as 'download, ./configure & make, pnd' which allows a trivial port of most of the apps which are currently available. Android will come about through a dev being sufficiently motivated (the idea is fairly obvious). I...

    Cases get a shipping date [2010-09-10)

    Didn't the tracking number only come up once the shipment has landed in the UK? That should still be within the next 24 hours though...

    Battery Drain

    Yes, you wouldn't normally expect the guy running the company to handle RMA, you would contact the customer support team. In order to allow the team to have a chance to look at the hardware, you can attach a note to it which gives explicit details about the problem - but I expect it will go on a...

    Battery Drain

    I think if this is a problem for you, you should contact your distributor directly and ask for an RMA.

    Question about battery life

    Don't assume that because I post a lot i have any authority here! More examples are always good - particularly if they are specific (e.g. actually playing video for 8 hours is more informative than checking the battery gauge). Several reviews have mentioned the amazing battery life - it says...

    android on pandora

    Working on it - I have system panel and juice plotter (system panel archives the apps on my phone for me). and K9. I agree that touch screen would help, but I was shocked how many small things are not right (like screen layouts, portrait only dialogues, no google apps). For me, it seems OK, but...

    New Toshiba Libretto

    I did check that tegra2 stuff is progressing towards the kernel, so hoping it shouldn't take too long. (and android3 will maybe help) The hardware is pretty good, but it confirms the pandora form factor is relevant for me. (netbook is good too, just different. I like being able to hold it with...

    android on pandora

    Well, I just started playing with my android Toshiba netbook, and the OS does seem very wrong for a device with a keyboard (this is not touch screen, but judging from my pandora use, I split 60/40 in favour of using the nubs or keyboard shortcuts). From the vendor point of view, things are a bit...

    New Toshiba Libretto

    Got my AC100 - 1998 bogomips of dual A9 goodness, but android doesn't seem quite right, and the software doesn't make the Pandora OS seem bad at all. Not having access to the google appstore is a real pain, have to use my phone to download apps, then transfer them.

    Question about battery life

    Since the original question was 'full load' this isn't likely to improve much. However, it depends what full load is (game running smoothly, or frame dropping at 95% cpu), over-clocking, wireless, external USB, etc, etc. Like my phone can drain the battery in maybe an hour with sat-nav on. You...

    Battery Drain

    Today, low power is not really a standby state, it is just a state where a few things are switched off. WiFi Off BlueTooth Off Display blanked Backlight off Also, the CPU clock speed is lowered (this has varied a bit with different hot fixes, 125 MHz is a good setting for now, since that...
