Mmmmm..... Approved content.... emphasis mine Do any Android car-puters exist yet? I haven't been able to find any.

We are not worried that Craig will come to our house and install Android and then delete all the world's copies of Angstrom. You honestly think that's what we're worried about? Really? Perhaps instead of assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a complete idiot you could try to understand...

Remember : If someone doesn't think OpenPandora should drop what they're doing and change operating systems it's because they "have an issue with Android". That is the only possible reason to not want this sudden, unexpected change. If someone tries to use logic or rational thought, do not...

Welcome back, thread!

Don't like baseball?!? It's the great American pastime! What are you? Some kind of communist?

Forget Android, next we should have a lively debate about switching to Sugar.

Or perhaps they'd enjoy working on an operating system that will not be the officially recommended operating system for Pandora. I'm sure that's just what they signed up for. (Or maybe they don't care. I shouldn't put sarcastic words in their mouths.)

Ok, sure, but in this particular case, Craigix did actually ask him to explain his position on the matter. You can't slam him for doing so. He wasn't even involved in this thread until Craigix asked him to explain himself.

Remember that someone has to actualy make android work on PAndora, write drivers for all its hardware, create some software that uses nubs, etc. A large portion of that effort might have otherwise have gone to making the existing setup better. Right now Craig is already selling more than he's...

And some are already out.

No, no, it's good. Otherwise I would have had nothing to contribute to this thread other than "I, uh, had the money in my checking account ... so I spent it." Which doesn't make a very good story. This way I got to mention that I'm an Eagle Scout. (Or was an Eagle Scout. No, wait, I think...

Haha, you're not excited about developing a game for a platform and then learning that the platform is considering shifting to a new operating system that won't run your game? Don't worry! A handfull of us will stick around and play it. That's what you think. Of course but there's a diference...

Yea, That'll help Craig find new customers so he can get rid of all those Pandoras sitting in the Pandora warehouse. Seriously, what's the motivation here? Is there a worry that the pool of potential Pandora customers is going to dry up? If so, is there a large pool of Android users that want...

How so? Surely you're not comparing dislike for a particular youth club with religious and sexual discrimination?!? I dislike many clubs and organizations. (To pick an extreme example, I dislike the Klu Klux Klan.) I do not at all consider that "just as discriminating" as publicly announcing...

I was a Eagle Scout, but I tend not to advertise it (or contribute to BSA when they ask from time to time) for the reasons that typs lik dis so eloquently laid out. On the other hand, I'm an Atheist and never made any secret of it. No problem at all. The Texans in the BSA central office can...

Exactly, I have to assume that anyone who imagined Pandora as a "pocket Linux computer" is going to shy away from Android. Not because it's not also a Linux, but because it's not designed to be used as a computer. It feels ridiculous to intentionally split such a tiny user-base. If this is...

Isn't "outside" where lions live?

I want to emphasize what I said up there : When we buy a Pandora we're not just buying the device we're buying into the whole promise of community and support. To suddenly change the focus of all that while you still have first-batch pre-orders in the queue will feel sort of like a betrayal...

It may be fun to dual boot. ...And even to advertise the dual boot. (After all a lot of people seem to be trying to sell android tablets. Why not a console/netbook? ) ... But I think if you de-emphasize linux in favor of Android you're not going to make many friends among your existing...

I strongly recommend checking local pawn shops. Stuff shows up there. (Might be a good idea to file a police report 'first', so you don't wind up buying your own device back at market price!)
