I don't think that bluetooth has enough bandwidth to stream real time video at any useful resolution, so it can't probably be useful as a webcam. Of course you can take still pictures with the phone and copy them on pandora via BT. If you have wifi on the phone you may have a chance, but of...

What about a computer? :D

portability of the (reference) documentation is one of the reason I love python for programming on the go: accessing the docutils documentation via the help() of ipython is a great timesaver, and I can also try small snippets in the same environment. this is quite true: C is way too hard as a...

this is expecially not true with python, since you can later substitute C modules for performance critical python ones this doesn't really makes sense: lists are part of the basic features of python, so it is natural that there is a specific syntax to manipulate them, and it's also quite an...

yes: no preorder money from the bank => no money to pay the case prototype the OS isn't done? from the looks of it we have had a working OS (kernel, drivers) for months, and nobody ever said that first batch pandoras would have shipped with the final revision of the OS. What the software guys...

there is a difference between x86_64 and arm in that x86_64 happily runs x86 stuff, so companies have no real reason to work on a port that won't give them any additional marketbase. With the emergence of arm based netbooks, however, it is not unlikely that microsoft will be forced to develop a...

FCC/CE is something that still needs to be done and will take time between now and the release date, so it is good to know about it. SD licensing is something that it seems has been already taken care of, and even if they haven't already paid (I don't know when one is supposed to do so: start of...

it is going to be in the next revision, that is probably going to ship about the same time as pandora, AFAIK

that's probably CODE cat image.png >> filethingy.pnd

+1: as a standard psplash screen it would be nice, and it would be very easy to use it instead of the Angstrom one. IIRC it took about a morning for me to learn from scratch the working of psplash, drawing a different image and building psplash with it. If you already have an idea of what is to...

I don't think that OP should give a pandora to the developers of something that may or may not be fully playable; they don't have unlimited resources and I believe that they should give priority to something that has better chances to work well. Of course more software is always good, so if...

quake 3 will probably attract the interest of gaming people, so it should be included. I believe that it would be good to show also come office application for the UMPC / casual gamers crowd, and then it would be nice to see some big emulation classic; if there is an homebrew game already ready...

Why would you buy a portable device to leave at home always on and always connected? For p2p downloads it would make way more sense to buy one of those small appliances that use even less power (no display, no graphic chips, no wifi, no nothing that consumes useless power), take probably even...

this is interesting :) There would be a problem however: at least here in italy you can't carry weapons to a public event, and I'm not sure that it would be safe to carry your early pandora to such an event without a few means of defense :) (seriously, if somebody from lombardy is interested...

As soon as pandora goes into standby skype is no longer running, and you're probably going to loose your connection to it, so you won't receive calls even if pandora is able to wake up from USB. You may try to reduce power usage by turning off the display, wifi and whatever else, but not go...

GIMP may be a problem: I feel it is a bit cramped on my 1024x768 screen, I'm not sure how could it work on an 800x480 one (I've never had the courage to try it on my EEE), and it's multiple windows interface won't work seamlessy with the matchbox WM. However, the hardware is perfectly capable...

I believe that changing the colour would not be a problem, but minimal numbers will apply: the batches of 400 were for the boards and assembled pandoras; judging from the factory daily capacity I would think that all of the cases will be made in one batch. With the relatively small numbers of...

It's probably more user friendly to let people download their media player after they receive the hardware than ship with a media player that as far as most people are concerned doesn't work because it can't play most formats. Personally I wouldn't care, but them I'm the kind of user unix is...

Women have been playing male characters for ages, it's no big deal.
