I realise that, that is the way the jack works on the Zaurus but it would be a great boon to musicians and DJs to have to 2 sockets built is as standard so we can plug headphones and a mic in easily. Dongles bring me up in a rash :D

QUOTE The point I'm trying to make is that the keyboard (whilst it obviously will be there) is not a feature which: a) 100% of the users on this forum wanted and B) should really not be taken as a priority in terms of size, space etc. as the majority of users (I assume) won't use it as much as...

+1 for separate mic input from me! If everything was slick dick rick we'd have both the AV port AND an additional, dual purpose 3.5mm jack that can be used for mic input OR headphones. I've got SpiralSynthModular running on my Zaurus y'know! Pocket modular 'analogue' synths are really quite...

OK, so just ignore the last sentence of my last post and see the other 2 glaring errors I pointed out nil point, sos

zacaj: I'm sorry but both the official current design and CoMikes are much better than yours because the screen folds down to protect EVERYTHING (speakers, joypad AND keyboard) when you're not using it. This is one of the beauties of the clamshell design. Your design also has less room for keys...

Of course - perfect! That's solved that one then! :)

Yes, thumbs up here too for CoMike's design. The advantage of Mikes design over the official one is that we get more room for keys on the keyboard and everyone is saying the current design needs AT LEAST TAB, CTRL and ALT added. CTRL and ALT are need for both quitting X11, changing res in X11...

Yeah, I think they still sell Panda Pops but I'm sure its via some loophole- you'd probably suffer discolouration if you drank more than 3 and God knows what else! Watch out kids, Coke (Barr, Schweppes and co) ain't your mate! pnd for the arch abbrv. sounds a bit too much like pwnd for me...

and my Facebook name is Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus and yes I'm a Capricorn. About a month ago my mum told me her waters broke when my mum and dad were playing Space Invaders on the 2600 we've still got. It made so much sense! :lol: I'm not joking though! myspace.com/danboid still yet...

because we've got to remember that, just like we'd say x86, PPC, DC, PS2 etc this platform will be known as PAN

Haha! :lol: How strange that you should pick Nova, which should also just happen to be the chosen nick of the guy who started the thread questioning Pandora's design?? Spooktastic stuff indeed! ;)

Yrx has a good point in that, despite it's silly name (much worse than pandora) Wii has been a storming success but then again it IS Nintendo.. Of course I've read the other thread on discussing the name but it was basically endless re-hashing of the 'Pandora's Box' theme. I thought I had a...

Pandora? To me, as it stands, just as when I first heard it, it's OK but I believe names are very important and we should take careful considerations when naming somebody or something important like this. What I like about Pandora is that its a girls name ending with an 'A'. I like the idea of...

As for marketing /.

QUOTE I'm not sure that you -can- have one device that covers both pocket computing and gaming, and I think the Pandora design evidences this. It doesn't quite work as a gameplaying device, as plenty of posts testify, and it simply won't work as a laptop replacement. It's just too small for a...

You've also got to remember that every other PDA available (with the exception of the Zaurus which is twice the price of the Pandora, half the spec and only available in Japan / mail order) today is running Windows Mobile, which is an absolute joke compared to Linux/X11, which of course many...

Mark: I'm sure Craig and co are well aware of your points but they're not competing with Sony and Nintendo and Pandora is an entirely different beast to the Zodiac. The Wii/ DS and XBOX360 are nothing other than games consoles. Pandora is a powerful PDA (or micro-laptop, whatever) AND gaming...

PomPom- Mutant Storm and SpaceTrooper! gawd I wish more people were making OpenGL retro-style arcade games for Linux!

I too would like to see commercial apps (esp. games) for the Pandora, but this has nothing to do with DRM- that's only really for people like Apple and Big Media who want to sell you music and video that you can only watch a few times if you're part of their 'club' (their DRM/corporate friendly...
