Do you know that there are a few iPod managers for linux, so that you don't need iTunes? And there is also rockbox, which allows you to manage the music on your ipod (or other supported devices) via the mass storage interface, as well as play doom. It doesn't work on recent models yet, but...

Actually, most of the time said money was probably * frozen by the bank (in the beginning) * back in the accounts / on the cards of buyers (how long did most of the people wait to pay back when they were reimbursed?) * used to pay for components / pandora work anyway, pandora will arrive in...

Data suitable for navit can be downloaded also from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ where there are extracts for most world countries, updated quite often. I'm not so sure that downloading the entire world (and loading it on navit / any other device) is a good idea as a rule: loading this much...

I don't think that there is any game bundled with Matchbox, at least not in the angstrom matchbox packages, but there are a few such games in angstrom As for having preinstalled homebrews, it's good for the chosen homebrews, but it would require installing them on the NAND, and this would...

A few months ago there was a thread on the kernel mailing list about a default kernel setting that could lead to filesystem corruption on removable block devices that were removed while the system was suspended; I don't know what happened meanwhile.

It's not that we are making things difficult, it's the patent holders that are making this difficult for us. Anyway: pandora is not getting every game preinstalled, so people already have to install stuff; why installing a media player should be harder than installing a game?

Actually, the patent holders for MP3 allow people to use their codec in a software product for free, so the audio player that will be available in the pandora archives will be perfectly lawful. What they require money for, is an hardware device that is able to play mp3 files, even if it's just...

vim runs perfectly under angstrom :D

Actually there are two kinds of cables that can be used with an OTG port: one is the normal mini USB cable (mini B - A something) that can be used to charge pandora (slowly) and connect it to a PC; the other one is what is often called OTG cable, is mini A - B something and is needed to connect...

No, I don't think that a CD of pandora software is a good idea: getting files from a physical cd to pandora is too much of an hassle for stuff that I can download more easily from the net, and if you meant a cd iso wouldn't a simple tarball/zip be better?

I don't think that bluetooth is going to work very well between rooms, especially if there are proper walls and other bluetooth devices nearby; proper ad-hoc wifi will probably be more reliable and allow for an higher range, even if it will take more battery.

While I sort-of-agree with the second point you quote, the software in the first quote is perfectly legit and a good idea if you plan to use your pandora for private stuff; I wouldn't trust the random provider of free wifi with my browsing habits and my personal details.

Porting openoffice may take some time and I'm not so sure it would be the right office suite for this kind of device, but I'm quite certain that we could be seeing the lightweight alternatives Abiword and Gnumeric from the start (I believe that they have already been shown running, and I know...

yes, we did http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=41960&hl=frets%20fire&st=0http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=41960&hl=frets%20fire&st=0 I've been wondering if it wouldn't be worth trying to remake the interface with 2d graphics, to remove the dependency on opengl

I believe there is a quote somewhere that explains that they were going to ask the case factory to do some more work, so that their processing time would take a bit more, but they could let them start earlier. The problem is: you can't make a case that fits a board you don't have yet: the...

I believe that what PhonicUK meant was that Windows 3.1 is not useful for what people who ask for windows on pandora want to do: it's not going to let you play WoW, MS Office or any other windows game from this millenium, and that's what the other topic talked about. Of course running windows...

Yes, I know of implementations of J2SE for the PC and that's what I was excluding from my definition of "standard java environment" as "what you get when you install the java package, with no additional software.

I would be interested in an SD with android on pandora, mainly to be able to develop android apps with no need to buy an expensive phone that I don't need, but that's the main use I can think of that wouldn't be better served by dalvik under angstrom. android uses linux (the kernel) but mostly...

it is in Angstrom, so it is very likely, at least in the future.

I've noticed that recipes cwiid and libwiimote are already in openembedded.
