I imagine this wouldn't make for brilliant game controls, but if you already own a Droid and you want to play games, it's a pretty clever and cheap addon to improve the experience. I wouldn't take the Droid + GG as being a good combo to buy for the express purpose of playing games, though.

I imagine there's a big sticker inside the battery compartment with whatever legal notices are required (CE, branding, trademarks & patents, model#), and they're including a "first batch" mark on there somewhere. If the graphics file is handy, I'm sure we'd all love to see what the sticker...

If you used a translucent (as opposed to transparent) keymat, you'd probably only need 2 or 3 LEDs. The light would diffuse through the plastic and illuminate all the keys, especially in a very dark environment. Lighting a second colour for the alt-keys would be tricky.

Timeline is relative, but approximate at best. Super-80 => Apple II ===================| (...we kept that Apple a long time) --------------------> XT => 286 => 386 => 486... ================== (etc...) ================> Athlon ----------> Pong =|--------------------------------------> Neo Geo...

350KB/s sounds fine to me. Whatever else you end up squeezing out of the hardware will be a bonus in my book. Perhaps it will still be worth getting in a batch of those wireless dongles -- but to sell, not give away. After all, the suggested dongles do 802.11n, up to 150Mb/s, so you can sell it...

July 23rd - 25th is AVCon, the anime and video game convention in Adelaide, Australia. I have an artist's table there all weekend, and I've also been asked to present a panel/workshop on something. (They're probably expecting something art based, but I'm sure a video game console presentation...

:o

Wow, that's pretty small, and not a bad price. And indeed, appears to work fine in Linux. Sounds like a good fallback to me. (Not that I think we'll need one)

We haven't even seen the potential of the Pandora yet. There's only a few "early-access" developers writing software on pre-release units or Beagle boards at this stage. What little original, only-on-Pandora software there is at present barely scratches the surface of the hardware's capability...

Off-topic: I think you've spelled "MacGyver" wrong there. Unless you mean this guy:

No way am I cancelling at this point; with the radical shift in the exchange rates of US & Australian currency, I'd be losing more than a quarter of the paid amount on the conversion alone! ;) Besides which, there remains nothing like the Pandora on the market. Yes, there are now other...

There is one standard charger for all regions (110-240V), with a C7 (figure-8) cable to connect to the wall socket; just the cable needs to be changed for each region. We can infer from the boxes in the photo that they'll be shipping at least UK and USA style connector cables. Hopefully they'll...

In some versions of the story, Hermes is the one who gives Pandora the "box" (jar).

Not necessarily; as I pointed out a few posts up, we can't forget the company running the service is named 'OpenPandora' -- while they may not want it tied to their hardware (the Pandora console), they probably don't want to completely disassociate themselves from the service either. So having...

PNDB's pretty good. My brain immediately wanted to expand the acronym. Pandora Network DataBase How about just Pandora Network? It might not be a bad idea to use a name that's not directly tied to downloads or purchases. It leaves room to expand into other online services (such as score &...

The last time a painting topic came up, MyPaint was mentioned, which looks awesome (but I still haven't tried out). It's very artist-focused, and has a couple of features that should lend itself well to the limited screen real estate on the Pandora -- minimal interface, expanding canvas -- and...

I haven't really got any interest in the project, but that's pretty cool. Good work all round for obtaining (and granting) permission for an authorised rewrite.

I've had an idea in the back of my mind for a long time now. I'd like to set up a site called "Open Game Worlds" (which I see has now been taken, but that's irrelevant), where the community could build up a collection of shared assets & resources for building consistent game experiences. It...
