Pocket computers that can do 90% of what a laptop can do will NOT be a niche market- the fact of the matter is that no-one has done it properly yet. Also, unless you've seen pdaXii13 or pdaXrom running on a Zaurus cxxxx series device you probably have no idea just how capable the Pandora will...

Insanemal: Well I wouldn't worry about that as I'd would be VERY surprised if Pandora didn't come with a full TCP/IP stack as default- in fact I'd say its pretty much guaranteed it will, simple because it has in-built wifi. People not bothered about a good networking GUI and WANTING to set up...

Peoples expectations for early sales figures are decidedly non-optimistic- a bit too much so I feel as I think people are totally underestimating the size of the target markets for this device and a number of important factors seem to be being overlooked, such as: The most important issue that...

First I'd like to say how exciting it has been watching pandora come to life, especiallly the last couple of days with the videos of the MK0, zodttd getting zpsx running full speed unoptimised and with cycles to spare etc. In my mind there is absolutely no doubt now that we'll see full-speed N64...

The year is 1985... danboid has used his FOSS time machine app (running on a dev pandora box :) to travel back in time to check out the home computing scene. He finds that, unless hes got £££/$$$ to spend on some hefty unix workstation, theres no way hes getting anything close to the power of...

Craig: Just wanted to clear the Zaurus/Amiga/Pandora comparison thing up What I was trying to say is that I have no doubt that the Pandora WILL be faster and better than a Zaurus sl-cxxxx in almost every way except keyboard for those who want a pocket desktop not a console/pockdesk hybrid...

As sindbad has already mentioned, Adobe HAVE ALREADY created a Linux/ARM port of their flash plug-in for Nokia's Maemo (Linux based) platform, so I'd expect somebody could get this working on Pand with a bit of hackery if Adobe aren't interested in releasing an oficial pandora port. On top of...

Yes! Send a dev board to Firefox Craig! Anyone who can get Jaguar games running on a GP2X has got to be up there- why is the guy not a guru already? MWeston wasn't a guru either last time I checked so the tag is currently meaningless and void :) Thanks to MW and Craig for the regular updates on...

That is the most goddamn ugly piece of sh I have ever laid eyes on, and to think people criticised the official Pandora mock-ups for being nasty looking! Yuk!

15 We want a readable logo that doesn't strain the eyes and doesn't get mistaken for Diadora or P&O too easily!

:lol: I love it how in this posting Craig makes a point of saying 'even DaveC likes the joypad' and then multiple people, including me now too, felt the need to highlight this turning it into the first real marketing ploy, nay legend for the pand community :D 3000 for the first run eh? Good...

Chip: Yes, of course, I agree that all the pandora ui's should be easily navigated with whatever input device the user feels most comfortable. X11 should operate like it did under xbox specific Linux distros in that you could move the mouse pointer with an xbox joypad and click with a fire...

Windows may not be easy to move about with a dpad or even an analogue pad but remember pandora has a built-in touchscreen so thats that problem out of the way. Don't worry about the difficulty of clicking on a window bar to move it as you can just hold down the ALT (be it real or mapped) key...

Yes, I'm well aware of Thunar, but like Maemo it brings with it a lot more dependencies than rox. Thunar doesn't suffer a non-conventional file copy procedure like rox but that should be very easy to fix up. Although there may only be a split seconds difference in loading Thunar versus rox on...

I realise many people won't want a PC like desktop interface but for that side of it may I recommend openbox for window manager, rox for file and desktop manager and the matchbox tools for handling things like battery, volume, auto-mounting of memory cards etc. Come to think of it, although the...

If you really can't wait for the Pandora, have money to burn and want to know the many joys of owning a powerful, hackable, clamshell computer a) Buy a Zaurus SL-c3000 and a good USB game pad B ) Install the pdaXii13 OS as well as gngeo, psx4zaurus, hatari, mess etc. (Firefox, mplayer, amule...

Linkous: We have to decide on the key mapping because there will be a default key mapping for whatever OS comes with the Pandora and we should aim to have it as well-configured as possible ootb. From what I've read on this board, p&|a will be using X11, just like 99% of other graphical Linux...

You left out the option 'I will most definitely NOT buy a Pandora if it has one of those naff, tacky PATENTED slide-out keyboards" I would've bought the n810 IF it had been a clamshell like the Pandora and Zaurus, who've got it right, and just how does the Pandoras keyboard 'get in the way' of...

I really don't understand these people who are so annoyed that the pandora is very likely the dream handheld that does most everything that many of us have waited a LONG time for that they have to come post long rants on this board "Get rid of the keyboard... don't try to to do everything it...
