I do, except when I'm on my EEE at 800x480 :) old monitor that I got for free, and little willingness to go shopping for a new one :)

You can also buy an USB mini A -> USB mini B cable (to connect to most hubs and "small" devices), USB mini A -> USB B (to connect to something like a printer) or USB mini A male -> USB A female (to allow you to connect to most "common" stuff with a builtin cable like mice etc.) they all include...

Of course it is Prince of Pandora: a retro` platform in the style of the original Prince of Persia based on the tale of how one of the Pandora People (the ones who overloaded the server on preorder day, remember them?) saved the day and the CE testing by retrieving the Pandora prototype in the...

A few months ago, before che bank problems, there were talks of having preorders for batch 1 and 2, sending part of batch 2 to resellers and keeping a stock from batch 3 onwards. Somewhere deep in the forum there should be something about it. Of course the bank problems may have changed everything.

the pandora machine is AFAIK only in the .dev branch; in the above git repository you can just use CODE git branch --track origin/org.openembedded.dev org.openembedded.dev

Older iPods and a few other players can play vorbis files as well, by using an alternative firmware like rockbox ( http://www.rockbox.org/ ), and of course you may just use your pandora to play them; by using it I've managed to kill mp3 :) I've ripped all of my CDs to a single flac file +...

No, angstrom is the full distro; the kernel is a linux kernel with custom pandora customization, and matchbox is just one of the gui choices available in angstrom. To build angstrom you will need openembedded, this page will show how to set it up...

The videos with multiple open windows used enlightment, not matchbox; in matchbox windows do have to be maximized. I can't see gimp to be usable on an 800x480 screen anyway, I just hope that there will be some other program for graphics.

I hope that there won't be many loading screens, since they are an obstacle for the quick and easily interruptible gaming sessions I will often have on my pandora. Adding back unneeded loading screens just to show a few ads would be pretty annoying.

actually, the encrypted section of SD cards is almost never used in real life, and besides that would require the sale of a physical package instead of a download. There probably won't be a single DRM system, but the publishers will be free to choose whether they want to implement it, and which...

4) No, there probably won't ever be a pandora emulator for the PC; you may be able to run the OS on qemu arm (not guaranteed to work, and not every piece of hardware is emulated) and you should be able to build a version of pandora's OS that can run on an x86. For game developement it may be...

There are lots of voip providers that allow free unlimited call between their users, cheap calls to any number, and often a geographical number to receive calls from anybody, and they would all work with e.g. ekiga.

right now: no in a few _years_: maybe Now and then there are talks of a wine equivalent for windows CE/mobile, but AFAIK nobody has even started any work on it yet. I wonder if there are enought original winmo games and apps that won't be ported / cloned on something like android1 to make it...

AFAIK navit works already on the beagleboard, so all that it's missing is a nice pxml+zip package. gpsd may be a bit tricky in that I don't know how easy would it be to run it from an external folder if it's not available in the firmware, but somehow I believe that it will be made to work...

If you are desperate enought you can put a swap partition on an SD card: it will be slow, it will probably thrash your card but will also work out of the box with just a couple of command line commands. It would be probably useful for big on device compilations, not for games or the like where...

rather than starting with the x86 only backtrack, one would probably be better off with the list of packages included in backtrack and openembedded, and build a new system from scratch with the same apps. Alternatively one could just port those apps to pandora (with pxml etx.) and just keep a...

GTK has probably a better chance to be available on pandora from the day one: QT support on small devices used to require a different, non X based, QT version, and historically in Openembedded/Angstrom it has been quite bad. This is changing with QT4, but it's probably going to take some time...
