Spec advertising isn't the reason for listing the details. If it was a truly general-purpose USB port, I'd just use the logo; but the full-size port is only USB 2.0, and doesn't (directly) support USB 1.1 devices. OTG ports also have differing features to standard USB. I think the extra...

Ah, I see where you're coming from now. Product printing isn't always literally silk-screening (even though it's often informally called that), and almost certainly wouldn't be on an odd-shaped object like this. The factory is far more likely to use a pad printing process, which is much more...

Nice. I'm a bit late to the party, but a couple of comments: Aside from logos, stick to a single font. Certainly don't mix serif & sans-serif fonts without reason. The sans font you're using (Myriad?) looks fine. Personally, I have an aversion to Courier for almost all uses. I don't see any...

Uh, buy another battery? I'd say even if the battery died in the usual way (won't take any charge, flattens in minutes), it would probably still work fine as a pass-through for power. But what good is a portable device that only works when plugged in? Wouldn't you want a replacement battery...

I didn't know that; you learn something every day! Happy to help where I can. I've got plenty of experience with page layout & diagramming for this stuff, if you need someone at that level. Given a few renders from ED and the content outline (I can't write the whole thing of course), I could...

I think OpenTheBox nailed it with his post. The Pandora doesn't need a full 100-page manual, but it really should come with something like a Quick Start Guide to make sure the customer gets up and running smoothly. I think it should include: A list of the included components (device, stylus...

I had a few minutes spare so I knocked up a "blueprint" version.

Several of the links on the Community Links page are broken (URLs start with "/", missing "http:/"): forum.gp2x.de today.openpandora.org pandorasource.de pandora-blog.de openpandora.es openpandora.info openpandora.pl openpandora.icedice.org progettopandora.it

My only minor concern with the new clip design is whether your middle fingers would rest uncomfortably against the clips when holding the Pandora. If the clips are positioned such that fingers won't overlap them, or fitted flush enough that you don't feel it, there's no problem. If they do rub...

After seeing Moldover's custom rig in action, I think the Pandora could make an awesome little controllerist device. You've got 10 simultaneous buttons, a full keyboard of (one-at-a-time) buttons, 2 analog inputs (using the joysticks as dials, perhaps?) and a touchpad (screen). While you...

A whole bunch of nitpicks here, but: DVI-I can do digital or analog, DVI-D is digital-only. (There is also apparently DVI-A -- analog only -- though I think it can be ignored) DVI supports HDCP, but does not require it (and therefore remains unimplemented in virtually all instances). The more...

It's the part that actually attaches the Pandora to the case that I'm curious about. At the moment the device would probably slide out the sides when closed, and would definitely fall out when you opened it. You mentioned "aluminium clasps" at the start, so you've obviously considered it; I'm...

It should open zombo.com by default.

I continue to be stunned by this thread. It's like refusing to buy any brand of keyboard except an unlabelled "Das Keyboard", because everything else has a Windows key and you want to use Linux... I'm surprised no-one has complained that some of the labels are capitalised (INS, DEL, TAB, ESC...

Finding free sprites that are genuinely free, and not ripped from some commercial game, isn't as easy as I might have expected. But they are out there. This guy has 700 fantasy PRG sprites under a CC licence which might do the job for you, at least as placeholders. It sounds like you're doing...

Can't say what they'll actually do, but I imagine it'll be the same as every PDA keyboard I've used: Hold Fn, press a key, release (like Shift on a normal keyboard) Press-and-release Fn (sticky mode), then press a key. One symbol only, doesn't lock. Press-and-release Fn (sticky) then press Fn...

Are you absolutely sure it's the screen that's lagging there? That sounds just as likely to be plain old persistence of vision. Look at a shape on a dark background for a while and flip to a light background (or vice versa) and you'll get a brief after-image in negative. Human eyes have...

We can't stop here! This is bat country!
