    Pandora Should Move To Android

    After reading the entire thread to this point, I thought I would pull together the following thoughts: 1- AFAIK, Google makes Android freely available so that any device manufacturer can modify and use it for any device. 2- Only some companies are using Android in a way that makes it...

    Pandora Should Move To Android

    I agree with several of the points made so far. Some questions come to mind about Android on Pandora. 1) Can everything that the OPT wants on the Pandora be made compatible with Android -- specifically, game emulators and games? 2) Can Android on Pandora take advantage of [a] Android...

    Manufacturing Costs Of The Pandora

    Just to state some obvious things: The cost of development for something like the iPhone are pretty high, depending on how you cut it. The iOS development costs alone are pretty large, development, testing, and prototyping of the chipset and hardware, distribution, returns, etc. The...

    Explaining The Pandora

    The China thing is a complicated issue. In the U.S., there are occasional "Made in the U.S.A." movements. Most recently, toy companies have had to deal with problems associated with toxic paint used in manufacturing processes in China. Toy makers now have to go through a lot of safety...

    Think It Would Be Possible To Run World Of Warcraft

    My take on this question, is that WoW is not possible, but the basic idea of a MMORPG that allows people to play on other devices like the iPad or through a browser is very sound. Any successful MMORPG that charges money would love to open their game up to as many devices as possible. And...

    Cleaning The Screen

    You can use some glasses cleaning solution and a lint free synthetic cloth that comes with the solution. I'd recommend spraying the solution on the cloth though, not the screen, to prevent the solution from getting into the side of the screen casing.

    I've Canceled

    Sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality. In part, I think that the anticipation gets to be so great that the real device can be a sort of let down. Also, if the OP team could have churned out all 4000 at once, it would be less of a problem. At this point, there are still some...

    What Would Happen If Windows Ran On An Arm Cpu?

    I agree with this statement. I guess the main point is that the result (which we can call "WinCE for ARM") would be an OS with no installable software. The current effort is far superior obviously.

    Wtf? Ok Who Listed This One....

    My own take on the eBay thing is that it's interesting to see what people with money to burn will pay for a Pandora at this moment. As others have indicated, it's a sign that there is a certain demand for the Pandora, despite the smattering of negative and cynical comments it has received on...

    Tell Us Your Ideal Pandora Advertisement

    The best advertising would be if the Pandora were seen in use on CSI: Something-or-Other, and on Doctor Who.

    Minimal Gaming Os Possible?

    Am I correct in recalling that the emulators we have so far are not using the GPU? By the way, what exactly is the start up time? Just curious.

    My Pandora Review

    Thanks for all the photos. I have to say that the quality of the case looks good and was definitely worth the wait.

    The Shaking Hype

    I think I had the same thought in the back of my mind, but after reading this thread, I tried shaking both the NDS Lite and Phat. The hinge on the Pandora appears to be noticeably tighter than that on either NDS. Any amount of shaking on the NDS causes the hinge to open all the way, even when...

    Sd Cards

    I'd suggest looking at techbargains.com or pricegrabber.com -- specifically at their lists of SDHC flash memory prices -- and then looking at the prices at reputable vendors like Newegg, etc. It will give you a good sense of where the prices are these days for different capacities, brands, and...

    Startup Sound?

    Maybe something like an animation of Craig falling off of his roof or a slowly rotating bust of ED to the sound of Pet Shop Boys. :lol:

    Video Documentation Of Assembly

    I hope you guys who are assembling the Pandora get some video footage of yourselves doing it. It would be interesting for those of us who ordered, but also for documentary purposes at a later point. I'm thinking about some brief interviews with the OP team but also the random folks who are...

    Twitterix - Plural Of "pandora"?

    I think it would be appropriate to go with the Greek plural of Pandorai, given the above post.

    What About Patents?

    IMO, if there were a Chinese rip off of Pandora, that would be a sign that the Pandora was selling incredibly well.
