    Issue With The Appstore When Running From A Pandora

    It's faster than a potato cannon! :P

    Frying An Arm Chip

    According to TI's datasheet for the OMAP3530, running it at the max voltage (1.35v, referred to as OPP5/OPP6) halves the expected lifetime from 100k hours to 50k hours (which is still over 5 years of constant usage) and no other adverse effects are noted other than not being supported in the...

    Craig's Hinge Testing

    I'd say about 5000 would be good while still remaining at least somewhat reasonable to do (though rather tiring, sorry craig). My reasoning behind this is as follows: 3 years of fairly heavy usage (15 opens/closes a day) would come out to just over 15000, and the way craig is doing it should be...

    Mathematical Analysis Software - Pandora.

    I've actually already replaced it with an HP50G. And I think I'll end up using the Pandora as a supplement to that, but not a total replacement. The Pandora has the advantage of being more pocketable with a much faster CPU. The 50G, on the other hand, has a much better keyboard (for calculating...

    Mathematical Analysis Software - Pandora.

    Xcas may be what you're looking for: it's based on the code from the HP49/50 series, which is itself based on Erable. So it's probably most similar to what you're used to. The only problem is that part of the menu bar is cut off at 800x480, but that's not too big of a deal. And the HP48 isn't...

    Hardware Development

    I believe that the TWL4030 is being used for the line-in. But good luck finding an actual datasheet for it, the best I could find was a little brochure for it. I doubt it'll be sufficient for what you want, it's probably 48khz as well.

    The Pandora Sound Chip

    You should be able to use a USB->optical adapter, so long as it conforms to the USB audio standard and doesn't require any weird drivers.

    Pickle Gone Wild!

    I don't have a wiz, but I played it on my PC. It's oddly entertaining. And I also enjoy the graphics, primitive as they may be. Thanks for the release, Pickle! But do you think the Pandora might be able to handle a port? I know it'd take a lot of work... but it might be doable! :P

    Does My Multimedia Player Get Outdone By Pandora

    In terms of multimedia playback, compared to the A2, the Pandora: -has higher maximum storage capacity (up to 64gb with the 2 sdhc slots) -will support even more audio/video codecs (though they'll probably need to be downloaded separately due to legal issues of shipping proprietary codecs) -will...

    Psp Power Supply

    I've had a PSP AC adapter die on me before, though I wasn't using it for anything resembling it's intended purpose. I was using it to power a wifi router/DSL modem after the original power supply failed. It only lasted a few months powering the router, though I have no idea how much current it...

    Few Questions About The Pandora

    As Tensuke mentioned, a typical desktop linux setup (usually either KDE or GNOME) is fairly similar to windows and quite user friendly. Though there are many, many, many different linux desktops available. The Pandora will use a window manager called matchbox by default, which is designed with...

    Twitterix: New Vid In The Works

    There is an N64 version, but it's not as good as the PS1 version as it's missing a lot of the game modes. Though it does have slightly better graphics.

    Twitterix: New Vid In The Works

    Hydro Thunder will be able to run on the Pandora, but not through MAME (at anything close to playable speed, that is). MAME is significantly slower than other emulators because it's designed to be as true to the original hardware as possible with little regard for performance. However, since...

    Pandora Hardware Capable Of Opengl (not Es)?

    I have no idea. I tried googling for it, but didn't find anything meaningful.

    Pandora Hardware Capable Of Opengl (not Es)?

    Unfortunately, that's referring to a different SGX model. The GMA 500 is equivalent to the SGX 535, while the Pandora uses the SGX 530.

    Opera Browser?

    Another alternative is Midori, a nice little webkit-based browser. There's also a hildonized version for the nokia internet tablets, and an angstrom package is already available. It's got some nice features like zoom, a fullscreen mode, an easy way to reopen closed tabs, and even support for...
