    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    Heh... The CPU Core is capable of up to 1GHz. With the right parts choices, board layout, etc. you can overclock the SoC we're discussing to possibly run at least the Core stably at 900MHz, but it's a difficult thing to accomplish and it's not 100% assured to be stable for all cases. We...

    Omap (+ Android!) Getting Some "commercial" Use

    No, producing a super-Beagleboard would probably spur more sales of their OMAP3 chips... It makes sense for them to consider such an idea, actually.

    I''m Writing A Letter

    No, it's more probable if they're amenable to letting us do it, have us PAY for the privilege of having even a sniff of the source and then buying the data files as well. Game code access oftentimes isn't cheap and the effort to get it is often NOT pretty. There's little reason to do it that...

    Why Pandora?

    Heh... I'd figured that they'd be very compatible. Mostly packing rules that we'll have to adjust when we munge things provided for the N900 for ourselves- and provide titles for that crowd as well. I'd had that in mind when I negotiated the deal for Caster and it's what's going to happen...

    Why Pandora?

    The Nokia probably won't be going with QUITE as robust a battery. My N800 gets about 3-4 on a 1500mAh battery. That's a 5.1 watt-hour battery. With the OMAP3 equivalent, you'll expect it to do about 2-3. The 10+ hours run was with a 13.5 watt-hour battery, which is actually a bit over the...

    Whats up with the GP32X forum??

    Garbage it may be, but right now it's working and the other forum isn't and is currently blocked off while they try to figure out what's busted. I won't dispute I'd rather have the other forum, but right now I'll take the other port...any port in a storm as they always say. :D

    Why Pandora?

    No different than the PSP, DS, or Nokia webtablets, really. You're "waiting" because they're being open about the development efforts. What you've seen is only unusual in that they're telling you about it and showing it as it comes up, etc. The same can't be said of Sony, Nintendo, or Nokia...

    Closed Source Ports

    There you have it from the horse's mouth- that would be Michael Simms' response in the matter and you're looking at the gent doing it in his spare time (Heh... Need to see what has come of the Bandits check-ins he was going to do for me so I can make sure it goes gold here shortly...). :D As...

    Why Pandora?

    Why? The device was designed for high-end smart-phones and media players with about 1/3rd the battery capacity we're fielding here. If you're not used to working in this space, you'd be amazed at what power consumption vs. performance they've managed with ARM and MIPS CPUs. X86 is only really...

    Pandora Pandora Toolchain Installer

    I'd be getting the same Windows version as that... QUOTE Btw, is there a particular reason to target the 2007q3 version? Heh... Other versions were producing bad code for a hobby. This should get you started while the "official" stuff gets fully sorted out. There actually is a lib, but...

    Linux Optimization Advice

    Here's a bit of a differing line of thought for you... What 3D api are you using for Vista and which are you using for Linux? QUOTE Again, CPU load never goes above 50%, on either CPU, and the profiler is only telling me the obvious, that slightly more time is spent on drawing that anything...

    Linux Optimization Advice

    Heh... Could be a number of things. Could be something spinlocking on you- what sort of synchronization primitives are you using? Could be something working a bit differently that you expected from the Vista to Linux side of things (Network code doesn't work QUITE the way you expect it to and...

    Omg! Another Keyboard Topic! ;]

    Heh... The only drawbacks I can envision is actually providing the juice to power it. A quarter watt bank of micro-LEDs would do the job if you did everything 'just right'. Presuming you do and you use a quarter watt's dissipation, you would add that to the power budget. We were seeing...

    Pandora Relevance To Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

    Considering that they've announced OS2009 and it being specifically for their new tablet... :D QUOTE Also, the N810 Wimax version was released and then discontinued (for more than one reason I'm sure, although it was very Nokia of Nokia to release it at all). The main reason it was...

    Wifi Networking

    Unfortunately, in many cases, the use of the meal plan "punches" are tied into your student ID with most of the colleges that do this sort of thing. They won't let you loan the use of the card to someone else for any reason. I remember having to pay for the stupid meal plan on my freshman year...

    Portable Scanner

    Depends on which scanners you're talking about there, Kyosys. Lots of scanners are actually supported in Sane these days, apparently even the one in question- though, I know that the bulk of the HP scanners and many of the Cannon ones work VERY well. Not to mention that those "portable"...
