Chrome offers speed over some other browsers by effectively opening a new instance of the browser for every webpage you view. So whilst it might be faster for looking at one or two pages, if you like having multiple webpages open at the same time it's more resource hungry, which means it is...

ninjamonkey, I agree with AireTamStorm and WoD, if you want to see something happen on Pandora you should be prepared to do more than post an idea on a forum. To save you some work, and hopefully make this topic into something constructive, this open source MMO engine should be useful...

Not true. See here: QUOTE These state of the art video glasses are designed to connect to almost any NTSC or PAL audio/video device with video out capabilities from iPods (up to and including iPod Classic) to portable DVD players and gaming systems. I have a vague memory of a pair of video...

If its open source and all the libraries it relies on are open source or available for ARM, no reason why not. However AFAIK Chrome is fairly CPU intensive, so it might not give you an enjoyable browsing experience on the Pandora.

I thought Qt was already under a full GPL license, so the LGPL only helps commercial devs, not those who were working on OSS. Ah well, more Qt uptake hopefully means more people contributing bug reports and fixes, helping the software grow.

Maybe you should take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4GL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language Ultimately, like learning any language, don't expect to be able to know how to say/do everything straight away, there is a learning curve involved. Look here if you want...

No, you buy Pandora and the SD cards seperately, though when the Pandora was available to pre-order for the first batch there were options to add SD cards to your order. You should be able to use both (USB flash drives and USB-connected HDDs).

But why? Why would you want to run Windows? To play Crysis or something? Go and buy a MID. Something like this would probably be up your alley (no Crysis though)... http://www.umpcportal.com/products/Wibrain/i1 ARM FTW.

If there was interest from the Goldeneye:Source team, is there an open-source FPS engine that could make use of the media from the mod (i.e. textures, 3d models) without many changes required? Are there any tools for converting between different map formats, something like this but for HL:Source...

That makes sense. SDXC cards, bring 'em on! Looking forward to improved SD card capacities (especially if it means reduced prices for current SD card sizes).

If it is as simple as this, why was all the fuss made about the exFAT file system? FAT32 (which is the most common file format used for SDHC cards, according to Wikipedia) allows partitions of 2TB, even if the max file size is 4GB. Whilst exFAT does offer improvements over FAT32, why even...

FYI, the XBOX1 OS wasn't XP Embedded, it was based on Win2k. See here: http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS3988467635.html

@HackModford How are you going to solder the OMAP processor to the board (it's not exactly easy)? If you want to get started early on porting you could always buy a Beagleboard.

Even if the Pandora doesn't get SDXC support for some reason (e.g. licensing), I'd think that the existence of this format will encourage those in charge of the SDHC format to release the higher capacities sooner, so it's all good.

mazza558, if you were looking for some interesting stats, this poll is not going to provide them. You should have had four poll options: Official blog Unofficial blog Official forums Other Instead of asking for people's favourite news source you've instead ending up asking 'which Pandora news...

Have you not learnt yet that the Pandora team are only human? They are trying their best to keep the project running as smoothly as possible, but certain factors are beyond their control (look what happened with the change in battery size for instance). If the Pandora team do as you suggest I'm...

Linux stuff on the go (Firefox, etc...), PS1 emu, Pandora Panic to show off the enthusiasm of the community. The rest of the impressive stuff might have to have a 'Coming Soon' status. These sorts of comparisons may turn a few heads too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HhIt8A-d34

With all due respect, I doubt the team would be considering sending press/review Pandoras to media sources that wouldn't be drawing in a big enough crowd. Engadget, Gizmodo, popular Linux magazines, popular tech/gadget magazines, etc... Not referring to you gadgetoid but if anyone who wants a...
