Have you looked into nspluginwrapper? It lets you use the 32-bit flash plugin on 64-bit systems, and works much better than gnash or swfdec. As I typed that I got the idea of porting nspluginwrapper to the Pandora, but unfortunately it is mainly for x86_64. There is a PPC version that requires...

Interested in both, leaning slightly more towards UMPC. Voted for "I really, really don't care. Stop talking about it, already," because while I understand this was posted with good intentions, I think it will only add fuel to the inane "UMPC vs games" argument. The Pandora will be excellent for...

Something along these lines should probably be stickied and locked, for it is quite likely this topic will become another outlet for the eternal "Internet fight".

... I'm sorry. Edit: Also, maybe I should go play the lottery, for I am Nostradamus. My next prediction: this topic shall be locked as soon as a mod sees it.

Seriously, we need a Pandora video or something, so we can all be "Oooh... shiny!" and be amazed together and forget we hate each other, if only for a little while.

I am quite interested in it, but my problem is I'll probably have enough money to buy either 2 16GB SD cards or 1 and a GPS unit (I've got my eye on this one). I'm still not sure which I'm going to do. From what I've read, a program called Viking is one of the best navigation software for...

I really hope you're wearing a fireproof suit, because I'd wager you're going to get flamed to high hell for this. But I'll try to be civil, having just joined relatively recently as well and preferring to avoid Internet fights. It's not just you. This forum has seen a lot of tension recently...

Adobe opened up the flash player spec recently, so I'd imagine projects like gnash and swfdec that will work on the Pandora should improve rapidly.

I heard he was still working on the UT 3 linux client. Dude's a busy guy.

With so much fighting between those who want the Pandora as a UMPC and those who want it as a game system, I have to ask: does it really matter? Though I was aware of the Pandora for a long time, I only recently started actively following its development, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the...

I might sell mine, but first that would require me to actually *find* the damn thing. :P

I too fall more into the UMPC crowd, but that's not to say that I won't have plenty of ROMs and whatever homebrew games there are on my SD cards. Perhaps, however, the reason more of the talk has been centered on the UMPC capabilities is that from what I've read many of the gp2x emulators should...

Not quite sure what you're asking here. There's no internal GPS, but you can attach one via USB or Bluetooth or maybe SDIO if any of those exist. Assuming there's linux drivers for it, a quick google search shows that the most common interface is probably GPSd. That, along with navigational...

Yeah, RAID 0 essentially splits your data across both disks to increase bandwidth, while RAID 1 writes the data to both disks as a backup. The question is how much of that benefit will be mitigated by the overhead required. It might be useful, it might not. Hopefully we can get someone to run...

If the PSP nub can be 100% confirmed as a viable option, I think we should redo this poll. I was rather conflicted on the 1mm vs delay choice, but I don't generally find click ability to be all that important, so I'd have no problem with a PSP nub. It seems a lot of other people who would be...

CronoTriggerfan - While I'm torn on the issue, I'm leaning towards agreeing with you. Whether or not this affects anyone a whole lot depends on what they're planning on doing with the Pandora. Some games/emus probably don't need all that fine control. But to play devil's advocate, FPSs such as...

There are other VoIP providers compatible with open-source softphones. While Skype may be impossible, similar functionality should not be.

It's too bad there's no internal GPS, that would make an excellent complement to any war[drive/walk/etc]ing capabilities. Though I suppose I could always get a USB or bluetooth GPS. Here's to hoping the wifi chip has promiscuous mode and other abilities useful for cracking. This could be an...
