I prefer "You live in a zoo / You look like monkey / and smell like one, too". Happy birthday, ED. I actually just came from a birthday party (1 year old nephew.)

I operate, setup and program CNC Swiss lathes. If you don't know what that means, well, I wouldn't really worry about it.

Exactly. It would be one thing to say "If all goes well..." or "Best case scenario...". But so many times I see concrete statements with specifics dates, then when they pass, I see "Well that was said before such-and-such happened". But by now OPT should know that things can still go wrong...

The word "guaranteed" should never have made it's way into that email.

I'd like to invest. Although, I think I might end up a little out of the loop if the meetings are all in person, 4000 miles away.

Yeah, Gigolo is broken in the firmware. This thread on the gp32x boards explains how to fix it. Specifically post #14. When I had my Pandora I was able to stream music and movies from a windows share on my file server (through a wired connection, wifi through my router was way to slow). I...

I think you need reread the article. That's not what it was about. It was an article about failed convergence handhelds that referenced several devices, not a countdown list of huge failures. Three of the devices (including the Pandora) they specifically said weren't failures, with the iPhone...

As Wintersdark said, automotive paint. Specifically paint labeled "trim and accessories". You shouldn't need to remove the existing paint, but you need to scuff up the whole surface with fine steel wool. When you paint you should use a series of very thin coats. At least three, with about 5...

The worst you can do is make it look like crap. As long as the innards are out and far away from over-spray, I don't think you can really damage it. Well, not while painting it anyway, I guess you could break it taking it apart.

You definitely want to remove the precious electronics before painting.

The n900 fails on your third point. The game gripper is better than trying to use the keyboard for game control, but it's still not what I would call "decent". The buttons are still too close together, no more than two respond at once, and despite the name, the whole thing has a tendency to...

Why not just use Samba and Windows shares?

I think once a vehicle has caught fire (even just once), it can no longer be trusted to transport thousands of Pandora parts.

But then you still have to paint them a different color. I assume there's change over time involved in that. Not to mention they would need to buy two separate colors of plastic and paint in the first place. It just seems like a lot of time and money for a few hundred people who will buy a...

It's in Germany right now (ED's replacing the LCD cable), but I'll be sure post a couple pictures when I get it back.

This is a good point, but I really just meant that's there's more to it than just changing the plastic. I actually painted mine, but I have plenty of paint left over for future touch ups.

What difference does it make what color plastic they use if they all have to be painted anyway?

Man, I wish I could get my Pandora back. It seems to have been lost in the mail. If it doesn't turn up it will beat an XBox for "Most Expensive Item of Mine the USPS has Misplaced", before the XBox, the previous record holder was a $20 video game. Judging by the condition of some of my...

I have both an n900 and a Pandora (Well, I had a Pandora, it currently in Germany for repair), so I'll try to answer what questions I can: The touchscreen on the Pandora doesn't seem to quite as responsive for finger usage as the n900, and the controls in full desktop are a bit small for the...

I wouldn't call two several, but okay. To answer the first question: no one can say for certain. The official answer would probably be around Christmas. That's for ordering now, I don't know about early October. More realistically, I'd say more like within the first few months of 2011. For...
