Yep, got my Pandora money plus about $140 to put towards SD cards. Here's to hoping I can get two 32GB class 6 SDHC cards for that by the time the Pandora's out. I'm not holding my breath.

I'm pretty sure what he meant was that he'd rather have an extra headphone jack than an extra screen.

I think part of the problem with the "is it part of the firmware?" question is that the Pandora doesn't really have a clear definition between firmware and software, as the Pandora sort of straddles the line between consumer electronic device and full computer. AFAIK, personal computers aren't...

As I said in another thread, I'm pessimistic about whether the Pandora will commercially be anything more than a niche product. It seems to me that the target demographic is the moderately tech-savvy crowd. Regardless of whether it deserves such a label, I think the average adult will see the...

Ugh, I wish. As someone who uses linux on his Tablet PC, that's the of the few things I miss from Windows. As for handwriting support, the only app I know of is cellwriter. It's okay, but compared to good ones (read some of the descriptions in that "tablet functionality" thread), it's utter garbage.

I think this might have been said in this thread before, but a video showing someone navigating the GUI so we could see its current state would be very helpful. This would have the dual benefits of knowing how functional and polished it is now so we have more solid information upon which to base...

. The perfect Pandora accessory.

I meant natively. I guess "very well" is open to interpretation. Steam community has been broken in WINE for how long now? Also, I get approximately 10 fps in source-based games with WINE (though I never really spent too much effort setting it up properly). Yes, it is x86 only, and as such will...

Must... not... facepalm. Alright, the latest information we have is that preorders will start sometime in August, though we don't know exactly when. A while ago, Craig said that preorders would be approximately 4 weeks before the Pandora was released, so assuming that is still correct, that...

Hmm... if I had to select a favorite "small touch", ignoring major stuff like specs and the keyboard and controls, it'd be the fact that the power button is all software, as is the volume wheel (well, I think the volume wheel is software. Not entirely sure.)

I believe there are external hard drives with their own built-in battery you could use if you were so inclined.

I would like this excellent Latin to English dictionary ported to the Pandora. It's open source and written in Ada. I'm assuming there's a way to compile Ada programs for the Pandora, right?

Hmm... at first my thoughts were somewhere along the lines of "Obviously the apps are more important, why the hell does everyone seem to think we need a great GUI? Honestly, how much time are you going to be spending with the GUI compared to playing games?" After thinking about it some more and...

I must say I'm rather surprised at the current voting trend. I thought most people here preferred function over form. To me, maybe 45 seconds at most with a clunky interface is more than balanced out by an hour or so with a good emulator or game. As for impressing people, I don't know about you...

While I'm just speculating, I rather doubt it can be woken up from an "off" state, which includes suspend to disk (hibernate), since that is essentially "off", except it just boots faster and saves your session. However, I think it's generally possible to wake up linux machines from a suspend to...

Unfortunately, the battery is a non-standard one which will likely be difficult to find replacements for. I believe there was a poll a while back, most people voted in favor of a higher capacity battery instead of an easily replaceable one. There have been rumors of selling a 5000mAh extended...

To answer the questions I know the answers to: 1. The Pandora's dimensions are 140 x 83 x 27 mm. This is between the size of the original Nintendo DS and the DS Lite. 2. I'll agree that the numbers' location might make it annoying when typing. The benefit, however, is that the numbers can be...

1. Wrong section; this belongs in General Discussion. [now moved - Mod] 2. Yes, a regular USB mouse will work out of the box. See the relevant section of the Pandora FAQ.

I suggest you have a look at the Pandora FAQ. To answer your questions: 1. The Pandora uses emulators. All apps are stored on SD cards. 2. The Pandora isn't done yet, so no one knows how exactly to install emulators on the Pandora. If you meant in using emulators in general, you download an...
