    Wow, Over A Year Late?

    Convergence simply means there will be one device that does both, computer and phone. You can't really say who has taken over whom there... For example my Palm Pre is a fully featured pocket Linux computer. It also happens to be a phone. People might be calling it a smartphone but I'm using it...

    Do You Think There Will Be Quality Titles For This?

    Actually, I wouldn't rule out EA completely. They have a lot of games built to run on multiple smartphone platforms with very similar hardware to the Pandora. They just ported a few of their games to the Palm Pre with minimal effort. As long as we don't expect more than a quick port and on the...

    Gambro Nxgp

    It's possible to make Linux boot rather quickly. Using hibernation or suspend might be an option to make booting even faster. Not sure what the hell GPOS is supposed to be but I am not expecting anything attractive...

    Ces: An Iphone Controlled Personal Spy Drone?

    Pretty cool... Any idea what the price range might be? The US army should probably order a few hundred of these for Afganistan. Maybe they can encrypt the video feed if it's an open system. :D

    Uplink

    Great! I hope we can make this happen. Love Introversion and was always meaning to finally play Uplink... It looked like they were in some financial trouble recently so they probably won't have the resources to port it themselves. I'd guess they'd be open about letting you port it and share some...

    The Released Of Dsi Xl In Uk And Us :p

    Actually the GC controller was brilliant... But that's an entirely different topic. :D

    Wow, Over A Year Late?

    Yeah, looks a little like the cold patent war is becoming hot. There have been a lot of patent disputes before but it was usually obscure small company vs big company, not big company vs big company... I think it's a good thing, though. It will remind everyone that the goddamn patent system...

    The Released Of Dsi Xl In Uk And Us :p

    No, they have to send 4000 out and then make more quickly. They could send one "finished" Pandora out right now but that would make exactly one person happy. Putting out a million devices after you have already made a hundred million very similar devices and also made a few hundred tousand of...

    The Released Of Dsi Xl In Uk And Us :p

    But on the other hand it's a very very very useless device.

    Wow, Over A Year Late?

    -infrared +capacitive touch Of course, the Pandora was always missing phone, GPS and camera. It's still easily the best design out there for portable gaming and will probably be for some time. Put a proper smartphone (Pre, N900) in the other pocket, and you've got all you'll ever need on the go.

    Qwak: Pay Whatever You Want

    Jamie Woodhouse, who has also been active on these forums, is having a sale of his game Qwak! Just pay whatever you think is the right price: http://www.qwak.co.uk/pages/buy/ You might also remember the game from the Amiga, although it has been updated a lot for the PC release I think. I...

    Avatar And Other 3D Movies

    I'm surprised I didn't find a red/blue version of Avatar on the net, yet. Seems to be difficult to pirate... :D

    Avatar And Other 3D Movies

    I've been playing Trackmania with red/blue glasses on my PC. IIRC, there are a bunch of 3D solutions already, from modified engines to special drivers. I wonder if there are shutter glasses with Linux drivers, yet? You could probably run 3D games and movies on a Pandora with those, then. :D...

    Psp 2 2010?

    The important thing about the PSP 2 and next Nintendo thing aren't really the specs. It's the design of the hardware, as the Nintendo DS and also the Pandora prove, that makes a device good. The PSP was one huge fail in that regard, right up to the PSP Go. I don't really have any faith in Sony...

    T-Mobile "pulse" - Google Android Handset (Huawei U8220) - Ama

    So, did you sign a contract when you got the phone from T-Mobile? You say it's carrier-locked, can you even unlock it easily/for free/legally? The only comparable phone prices are without contract and without any SIM-lock. Everything else is just bullshit. I hate Apple and their attitude...

    Aussie Gamers, Time To Have Your Say

    http://www.pirateparty.org.au/ I never intended to go into politics but the Pirate Party has already helped a lot in Germany. Not sure how far along your Australian PP is but you should probably join the fun and help them if you care about these issues.

    Os? Languages? Places?

    Yeah, or Klingon, or Talan... :D Actually, Japanese doesn't seem to be that difficult, if you don't want to learn all of the Chinese characters. Haven't spent enough time to really learn it properly, though. Latin was a bloody waste of time though. 8 years of learning and I still can't speak...

    What's The First Film You Will Watch On The Pandora

    Depends on your eyesight, really. The 800*480 pixel should be plenty. I enjoyed a lot of movies on my Zodiac back in the day, at 480*320. Most of them with subtitles! :D
