    A Simple Answer To A Simple Question Please

    Don't feel too bad. I got a lot of huff from a lot of people when I dared to inquire if the release was still on track according to the release date that the devs announced... ...that was back in June of 2008... -Suntan

    Developer Fund

    Just don't call it a "donation". Its paid access, not a donation. I don't think it needs any more justification to express that a donation made so that a person can have access to something that they wouldn't otherwise be privy to is not, in fact, a donation at all. Well, it seems the game...

    Developer Fund

    A few comments. 1) I have no problem with the idea of a general development fund to drum up dev interest. As I said, I'd be fine with $40 tagged onto the base price up front if it means better and more software than purely generated through the generosity of devs on their own. 2) I do have a...

    Shiny, Glossy, Or Matte?

    Guys, he's asking about the *screen*. Not the case. If the screen would be antiglare or "clearview" type. I would prefer clearview... ...with a matte case. -Suntan

    Developer Fund

    Personally, I think it is crap to "ask" for a "donation" then make it a requirement for access to beta software/patches, etc. The reality is that a lot of opensource/homebrew stuff can stay in beta for years, even though it quickly becomes very usable and is only being held from 1.0 status...

    Sound Quality?

    You can always hack the board to wire the analog out prior to the amp, if you wanted to. Enabling digital out SPDIF would require gratuities to Sony and Philips, as far as I know. Anyway, assuming there are drivers for it, a TBAAM (Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro) could be plugged into the...

    Another Job For The Pandora

    Yes, the Airboard is a good old board. I still have one sitting in the closet as I will always have it for a backup. The two problems with it are 1) the receiver needs to be visible 2) the mouse nub is annoying and not as fast as a touchpad (I use laptops all day so I prefer a touchpad). I...

    Another Job For The Pandora

    Haven't used xlobby for a long time, but I believe it supports linux and has provisions for PDA control along the lines of netremote. Anyway, onboard IR is not really a problem. Most advanced systems do not rely on IR from the actual head unit. Too likely that mis-alignment will cause a loss...

    When Will It Be Avaible

    I'm sorry you took it that way. As it was not my meaning. That preface was more to distance my statements from the kids that have been writing endless "OOOOhhh I just need to get my mommy to let me get my birthday present 2 months early this is will be awsome OMFG LOL... ...web-acronym...

    Another Job For The Pandora

    Yeah, thanks. I couldn't bridge that gap without you. The point I was making is that there is a desire for a small, long battery life system to control large media systems. Having a touchscreen *and* a hard keyboard would be very desirable. -Suntan

    Sound Quality?

    Speak for yourself, it may not replace the output of a Lynx 2, but I am not about to carry that rig onto the airplane for an 8 hours flight across the ocean. That still doesn't mean that feeding a quality pair of headphones isn't desired. In any case, if drivers were available, this can be...

    When Will It Be Avaible

    It's "Even if you *win*, you're still..." Anyway, I just want to have the most accurate understanding of when it will be available, and how polished it will be when it is released. I'm not a die hard loyalist fanboy that wets his pants at the mere mention of this thing. Just a guy with $300...

    Another Job For The Pandora

    The pandora would be a home theaters best friend. A lot of money is spent on good quality remotes and wireless keyboards (I've spent enough over the years to buy a couple pandoras). First, "netremote" is a program to control your media PC with a PDA, with the touchscreen *and* keyboard, the...

    Center Click Vs More Travel

    I don't know what kind of clit you've been fingering, but if it feels like those abrasive little trackpoints, you need to turn the lights back on! -Suntan

    1 Or 2 Usb Ports?

    Get one of these for your vacuum instead. Plus, then your Pandora would last you a flight around the world. Boxwave -Suntan

    Video Playback

    So just for clarity, it has not been shown that the Pandora can run h264 encoded at native res of 800x480? Let alone with more advanced features like CABAC? -Suntan

    1 Or 2 Usb Ports?

    Not to mention that a *powered* USB hub would be the best bet for connecting multiple components while docked at a desk. Plus it would keep the Pandora charged. One cord is all you would need to attach. -Suntan

    Quickchange Between Emu And Txt Walkthrough

    Did not know this, however it is academic as I do not have a PSP. I have no desire for a PSP as it has no provisions for a kickstand (ala Archos PMPs) or a folding LCD lid. 4 hours into a flight across the pond I'll be damned if I'm going to hold the thing in my hand for a whole movie. -Suntan

    Quickchange Between Emu And Txt Walkthrough

    Right, well we'll just wait and see. It would be really cool for some rudimentary txt support in the EMU so you wouldn't even have to swap to a different program, just "pause" the EMU and it pops up the text screen... ...That is if Santa is listening. -Suntan
