I feel I'm in a small minority in believing that if a) p&|a has real good build quality (unlike the appalling original 2X models) B ) We can fully access all the hardware and have proper X11 2D and 3D acceleration at launch c) They manage to produce it in decent volumes at the promised price...

Some Debian trolling par excellence off mr Bagel in this thread. In his defence, you can wind up in 'dep hell' under Debian if you're running unstable or experimental sometimes but dependency probs are none existent if you're running a stable release. Problem with that is Deb stable normally...

I've got a Moto RAZR v3 and I charge it through mini-usb using my Linux box. Its a standard USB device and so I've never had any difficulties charging or transferring files to/from it. Maybe it was different on earlier models but being a Linux user and supporter of open standards I never buy any...

Monkeyo: I enjoyed reading your posting as it was interesting to hear from a N800 owner. N810 is significantly better by the sounds of things but still lacks the all-important clamshell form factor that stopped me buying one. The GIMP will be available and fully-functional on pandora on...

Documentaries of Critical Importance http://netctr.com/media.html You should also all take the time to watch 'Bloodlines of power' as it will explain a lot of what has REALLY been going on in- its nothing like what we get told by Big Media, who are controlled by the same people who own your...

Ron Paul is promising the moon on a stick now, but he'll fk you all over just like every other power-hungry professional liar (er... politician, sorry) has done and continue to do. You want Jesuit puppet A or Freemasonic puppet B who's going to tell you how to live your life and spend all your...

It would seem that neither flite nor festival support any kind of file position status output so I've wrote to Alan Black, head festival dude, to see what he's got to say. As I say, the GP2X makes a perfect 'digital text book reader' and IMO this will be a major selling point (after MP4...

MWeston: Thanks for filling us in on all these power issues etc. - its sounding damn fine indeed - even 'boot off serial' fcs! ;) I think a lot of people don't realise just how usable and powerful Linux/X11 (using the ROX/matchbox DE for example) will be in only 128MB RAM and a 600/800Mhz ARM...

I don't currently own a 2X but I seriously considering buying my friends for a) Reading TXT, PDF and HTML aloud B ) MP4 player I've had a look through the archives and noticed there is FLite, but by the sounds of things this is too basic as it doesn't even handle DOS/Windows formatted text...

I haven't gone to the length of making a mock-up Pandora but I've been wondering about the number keys - would it not make more sense to have them directly above (part of) the rest of the keyboard instead being separated from it by the joypads + fire buttons? Would the joypad be less comfortable...

Tobriand: Ads! ADS?!? What were you THINKING!! NO ADS AND NO DRM FOR PANDORA OR ELSE!!! Just imagine if we had messages popping up "This app was compiled with gcc, please consider making a donation to the FSF" Every time when ran a program, which is just a bit more ridiculous than what...

Mweston + Craig: I take it Pandora will feature a sleep/stand-by mode to turn the screen off when not in use with an instant resume at the press of the power button? If I had to wait 3/4m or whatever for my Z to do a full boot every time I want to use it I would've never bought it. This is also...

QUOTE However, the main reason I would prefer the pandora without a keyboard is that it could then be permanently in tablet mode, giving the touch screen proper use. I recall someone saying with the current design the touchscreen is a wasted feature, and I have to agree, it will be unrealistic...

I'm sure they are, and I look forward to seeing the re-jigged design but I also feel a bit sorry for MWeston and Craig- whatever they do there's going to be armies of people complaining that their fave design feature didn't make it. I never thought I'd be happy about patents but when I...

Hmm, this poll is definitely heavily weighted on the Pandora-hater side - looks like an exercise in venting yr beef to me <_< I didn't bother filling it in because in the "Whats wrong with it?" section didn't adequately cover my biggest complaint with the current renders which is best...

I'd like to point out that if the design switches to using a rotary volume dial, we will also likely need a HOLD switch so that the volume doesn't go changing on its own when bouncing around in your pocket, that's why I've voted in favour of keeping the horizontal switch which is less likely to...

Reading these threads it would seem like I'm the only person who owns a Zaurus c3x00 (well, 2) and its a shame because so many people are wondering "Will this or that work?" and I'm one of the few (the only?) who has experience with the nearest thing, a Zaurus running pdaXii13. As Yrx has...

I see the touch screen as being mainly used in X11 as a mouse replacement more than as a gaming aid. Plugging in a USB mouse would be better for a gaming pointing device
