yes, a GUI library that integrates well into pygame would be useful for lots of projects.

AFAIK most FOSS navigation apps for linux use maps based on OpenStreetMap, not census data.

I had read that as "all parts to build the boards for batch 1 are in texas, all parts to build the boards for batch 2 will be in texas on october 18"

Not really this silly: google wants to prevent the huge differentiation that made writing applications for java ME a mess.

Pandora does not have the hardware requirements to get approved as an "official" Android device by Google (no gps, no accelerometers, no camera); that means that Android on pandora won't ever have (legal) access to the Android Market. Android without the market can probably still be useful...

As long as you don't plan to use the wi-fi

It is going on, with the XO 1.5 laptop getting into schools right now (like the original XO, with better specs) and they're working on a new arm-based design for the future. Overall, it's proving to be quite a successful project, except in the "communications in the developed world" area, which...

With a quick googling I've found a page on "android compatibility" that includes a link to the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) Starting from page 20 Paragraph 8.9: "Device implementations MUST include a camera." Paragraph 8.10: "Device implementations MUST include a 3-axis...

Have you ever tried the open source edition of Android? the one that is missing both marketplace and google services? I did, on a beagleboard, and I still feel the pain.

Angstrom is not meant to be a recognised brand, Angstrom is meant to be a tool used to build a customized system that stays out of the way, it is a tool for hackers and other developers to write "firmwares" for any customer base. Speaking of user base: do you know that Palm WebOS is built with...

I wouldn't be interested in a google sanctioned android system that requires google logins for everything: if my 1st batch pandora came with that I would be reflashing the nand in no time. The open source edition of android could be interesting as an alternative system option, but AFAIK it...

I've seen the twitpic posts too, yesterday evening (CET) they were gone, but now they're back.

What about the orders that were transferred from craigix shop? Are they dropped at the end of your queue with other orders from 2009?

That was a bank transfer, not a money transfer

Paying for something almost 2 years in advance already means paying a bit more than people who pay the same amount 2 years later, with maybe 2-4 months of wait before they get that thing, and both pay more than people who pay 3 years later and find the product in stock. Estimating how much more...

Why 50%? Hopefully by the end of this month about 25% of batch one will be shipped, word is spreading and people will want to buy a pandora: look at what is happening with the few ebay sales. People are talking about their pandora right now, writing reviews and showing it to their friends, and...

This is not because the OS is work in progress, this is because a device that plays mp3s is patented almost everywhere and can't be sold without an expensive license. This is being actively enforced, so OP coudn't even hope to pass unnoticed. Pure software is not considered a device, is harder...

Try this on a common linux computer $ ( for BIN in /usr/bin/* ; do file $BIN ; done ) | grep "script text executable" | wc -l on a quite fresh arch linux box I've found 187 scripts, lots of them POSIX shell, some perl, some python, plus another 4 in /bin, and I haven't installed lots of...

i would gladly pay for games where the author pledged to release the source code under a FOSS licence after some conditions such as earning X on the game, sales dropping below a certain threshold or after a few years. I would also (less gladly) pay for good games with no such pledge, as long as...

you can check navit for route planning and tangogps to show bitmap maps and gps data (I believe it should work well for geocaching, but I've never actually done it).
