Yes, it will be possible to compile software on the pandora and to crosscompile it on a faster pc, the latter being probably standard for big projects. As for the OS, the default mode will probably hide most of the linux stuff behind a nice simplified interface where you should just be able to...

Support them, so they can expand their catalog and help preserve gaming culture (and promote digital distribution without DRM) :D Games using DOSBOX which might run well on Pandora:(...) I've noticed that they list windows xp as a minimal requirement, and they state that they have fixed the...

It's also addictive, and it's contained in the dangerous Dihydrogen Monoxide, let's ban it!

afaik there is no arm version of backtrack, nor of slax (the distribution backtrack is based on), and the arm port of slackware (the distribution slax is based on) isn't one of the best arm distros for "advanced" devices, since it's still targeting the old ABI. There is nothing to prevent you...

There is a quote somewhere in the forum that states that once the molds are ready, the firm can produce 5000 cases in a day.

Do they even sell licenses for windows MO directly to customers?

whatever is at 2+ feet above sea level is pulled by gravity and will drop below sea level, unless stopped by some properly placed surface. Let's build a 10meters wall on every shoreline, just to be safe!

1. it's not legal. even if you have the game, unless you backed it up yourself, it's still illegal. if you bought a copy of pokemon and decided to pirate a bunch more, nintendo wouldn't lose any money, but it's still stealing games. (even if you wouldn't have bought those extra copies). it's...

The air near the ocean is quite rich in salt moisture, even if you don't actually drop your pandora in the water. Somebody even suggested washing hands (from sand) in the ocean before handling pandora, bringing even more salt water on it.

Actually, android is quite an open solution, its problem is that it is so open that carriers are free to add arbitrary limits to its abilities. A free software port of android to an open device doesn't have such limits, and thus is way more interesting than an android phone + contract. Of...

the only thing that worries me is that they could be stripped down to the point that they require some specific (windows-only) software to work, otherwise they look nice.

actually that would be worse: a bit of sand may scratch the pandora, but salt water from the ocean is sure to corrode its internal.

in mid-july there should be a first run of production boards; the cases won't be ready.

AFAIK the factory can produce 5000 cases per day, once the moulds are ready; the other 44 days are just for mould productions.

If memory serves, ED was using a wired connection back then. The "usbnet" that was mentioned most likely relates to this driver for USB Ethernet devices (presumably like this one"]. USB-net may also refer to the ability to connect via USB OTG to a PC and use its internet connection.

I've heard about it and "compiling for a competing product" is something that said license must allow to comply with the open source definition. The reason why I don't see QT for the iPhone as very likely is on the iPhone side: would apple allow it?

I know at least two of us were expecting missing drivers, and wifi was as likely a candidate as 3D.

Open source is not (only) about the price of apps, it's more about knowing that the software you're using won't stop working for untechnical reasons like an expiry code or a missing activation server; it's about being able to recompile it for a new device; it's also about being able to trust the...

The whole point of first batch was to put the hardware out with beta quality software so that the community could start hacking and improving it. Now because of the delays we're getting a much better software than we thought, with just one single missing (core) feature. I wouln't worry that OP...

the arduino package includes some customized binary and letting it run even on amd_64 is not trivial; a port to pandora is interesting and probably feasible, but not just "drop a jar and it works"-trivial. Also, the idea to cross compile a cross compiler worries me a bit, but that's nothing...
