Craig seems to be in someone firewall, maybe they thought he was a spammer? Sending out thousands of emails every so often is bound to get you noticed every so often.

At least it's an alternative for people who want to run Windows :)

Well, yes, if an emulator already has a gui, no one is going to rip it out to replace it with a Qt gui.

I wasn't thinking of running them in a Window, more like full screen, but under X so at least you can task switch to other applications (maybe you want a two player game over bluetooth for example, and BT is far easier to manage under X than under a console). Chances are something like Qt will...

Whilst I think it would be possible, anyone wanting a "build your own pandora" kit would have to wait until batch 2, as I seem to recall Craig wanting to do a 100% test on batch 1, and building, testing and then dismantling to send you a kit would be a little strange.

Don't forget that the Pandora is a completely different beast to a GP32/GP2X or Wiz. It's pretty daft porting the cut-down emulators such as SNES to the Pandora - surely you want the full effect now rather than old ports. Secondly, you can't assume full control of the system anymore as your app...

On the GP2X & Wiz, emulation of the GP32 is not a problem. I've done it (not including sound). However, there are some stumbling blocks. You can't emulate the BIOS properly because it's constantly trying to trample over your CP15 registers, so you have to nop those out. Secondly, if it reads...

The Pulse Mini is smaller, cheaper, already runs 2.1, but looks crap. The Pulse (standard) looks much better, but only runs 1.5, which is very out of date now. They could at least have brought out a 1.6 update! The only real viable Android devices therefore at the moment are the HTC range...

Meh, just use Qt Creator. Job done :-)

iPhone has more apps, but Android devices are a lot cheaper (starting from £79 compared to £400 Off-contract). Android isn't locked down. If you want to install non-market apps, just go into settings and tick "Allow install of non-market applications". Debugging is far easier. Instead of...

Are you learning Office, or do they just require there documents in that format? If the later, just use Open Office and save to Office2003 format.

Since there is prior art, the patent isn't original, so it would never stand up in court. Of course, that doesn't stop Apples lawyers threatening to sue you and maybe even going to court with all the related costs...

Give us 2 months ;)

there is no spoon

Spoken like a true engineer :) Hardware guy: "It can't possibly be the hardware, it must be the software". Software guy: "It can't possibly be the software, the hardware must be faulty". Repeat until one of them goes "Ah.. Oops, actually..." One of the first things you learn is "It's...

You can't really do that. Imagine the scenario: Device released without Wifi support. 10,000 devices sold. After a few more months the Wifi still isn't fixed. Eventually they decide that either they can't fix the Wifi, or that the hardware is the problem. So, you can't prove that you can...

Why? So it can be thrown in with all the other network MP3 players? It's not new and it's not innovative.

Ok, I admit. We just wanted to see if you were desperate enough to shell out some serious cash on something that didn't exist, and were amazed at the results. So much so, we decided to see how long we could string you along for.

There are indeed a fair amount of "It would be nice to...", but it seems most people are also saying "But those kind of things can wait until after the product launch". It's really being held back by more major things, like the Wifi and the fact that there isn't really a full production...

I suppose we could spend a week designing a web application so you could enter your order number and then select whether or not you want a faulty case, a perfect case, or no case. Then send out the "no case" versions first, followed by the "faulty case" versions and finally the "perfect case"...
