Well in desktop mode, it obviously multitasks the same as any other Linux desktop. I'm curious how (if?) multitasking is handled in pmenu / minimenu. Do the dedicated app launchers actually implement any sort of task switching?

Or their TV room is arranged such that the eye physically cannot tell the difference between SD and HD, due to the viewing distance. Here's one example viewing distance chart. I've got a fairly large living room, and a 32" TV. (Bigger would be nicer, but wouldn't fit in the wall unit.) We've...

Remember to distinguish between apps that will be available at launch, and apps that will be included in NAND by default. We'll definitely get the web browser on board; that's kind of necessary to get to other software anyway. I'm sure there'll be other applications as well, though I won't...

"Right, back again, Pandoras all ready to go!" - "So when you said you just had to go finish them off..." "Yep, two months like I said, and here I am!" - "THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO!" "Oh." "Oops."

It might have something to do with the fact that Pride and Prejudice was written in 1813. A brief copyright primer: Copyright is effectively a government-granted monopoly on the right to modify, reproduce & distribute a creative work. Theoretically, copyright always has an expiry date, after...

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[total pandoras] - [100 800mhz pandoras] = [first batch], not [total pandoras] - [every 800mhz pandora] = [first batch]. That total is 4000 though, not the initial 1000. And Craig has clearly stated they have "100 spare", not allocated to orders; that presumably also includes the unpaid...

But if they had never mentioned this Special Edition idea, you would still only have some random chance of getting an 800-capable board. Either most of them will be capable of 800MHz, in which case you'll probably still get one, or most of them won't be capable of 800MHz, in which case you...

The sticker isn't ON the battery lid, it's INSIDE the battery lid; under the battery. Take the battery out of your cellphone, there's a good chance you'll find a very similar sticker there. (Legal text, model info etc) The "First Batch" mark was something mentioned in passing, forum members...

Painting a finished piece of electronics after it's fully assembled is just asking for trouble. The details are my conjecture, but there are four steps here: Get the cases painted. This will almost certainly be done on the bare plastic, prior to assembly of those units. The art designs have...

ಠ_ಠ Why preorder? Really? Do you want a Pandora? Do you want a Pandora as soon as possible? That's why you preorder. Did you preorder just because you want to feel special? ...nnnooo, the first batch logo is just a way of thanking us for being early adopters, to distinguish us from the rest...

Here's how I'm thinking I'd handle the Special Editions: Ship out all of the preorders. Take a break. Seriously. Put the second batch into motion. In the months until batch two is ready, auction off one Pandora Special Edition per day. Work out what the minimum retail price would be for the...

I pity you, Craig. You say you'd like to offer special painted units, like people have asked for numerous times, and you get called "fucked up" and "sick" for it. I think special edition units are a great idea. I don't want one, I'm happy with the standard unit; but I know some people are...

Pandora isn't the first, and it won't be the last, device to experience extended delays. Bigger brands like ASUS aren't immune either. ASUS EeeKeyboard gets really, really official

Aww, I had this nice big reply all written up too. If I stick it in a spoiler tag, is that okay? :)

Oh come on, now you're really being disingenuous. There was no implication in that comment that OpenPandora is "major". If most major tech companies (such as Apple) typically work with single vendors, why would a tiny outfit like OP use multiple? There is a very good reason why big companies...

LCD or OLED, I'd like to see a future Pandora implement that fancy resistive multitouch technology (that, from memory, was a controller revision to the existing technology). There's a lot of cool stuff you could do with multitouch and pressure sensitivity.

I'm a little confused by the nub-mapping situation. I understand that the nubs have to be set to one mode at a time, and that mode can be reconfigured on the fly. However: This implies that it's not practical to set a global default mapping from buttons/keys to mouse clicks. ED also says...

Another old example was VGA Planets. Been a long time since I played it, but it was fun. I was going to suggest a browser front-end too (and there's probably no reason you couldn't add one later), but being able to queue up your orders while offline and send them in one hit once you have net...

To put things in perspective, the news this morning reported the airlines are losing about 1.5 million dollars each hour while flights are grounded. While this is bad news for OpenPandora, it's a lot worse for many other people.
