I suspect part of this was that the Wii was going for the casual gaming market, and in that aspect didn't have any real competition, while the type of people who would buy the 360 arcade were competing with the PS3, and were also considering they'd have to buy an add on hard drive. I'm...

That's stretching the definition. Featureful maybe, but by no means powerful. Framing it the way you want to allows claiming the Wii is the most powerful gaming console because of the motion controls, as the PS3 motion controls are less developed. Not to mention some of the features on the...

Download speeds correlate to your upload speeds, which are much slower on your ISP, while the server has very high upload speeds. Overall the downloads will be faster.

I suppose you've done polls, 'cause I've seen the opposite that most people would rather play what they can get on their phone and not have to get a gaming handheld. Which ones? You can get flagship smartphones for $0 on contract with some carriers, and locally you can get an iPhone 3G for...

The difference is in the bandwidth you get and the speed. A server can be on OC3s. You get nothing even close at home. TPB looks to be still up to me.

Neo Freerunner is already released if that's really what you want. And for all practical purposes, you can do whatever you want on any Maemo device. If you're only messing with the software and the hardware breaks you can just re-flash the original OS, assuming Nokia even cares. Pandora isn't...

Cheap PC is nowhere near as good. You can't compete with the Swedes with a home connection, and if you're on a private tracker with ratios the only thing you can do is buy a server.

I can see where you're coming from as I don't really have discretionary income either. However, there's really no overlap between the iPod Touch and the Pandora in terms of games. If you get yourself a 2nd Gen iPod Touch of craigslist you're out about $150-$180 if you're patient and it should...

for torrents you can also buy a webserver and put a client on there. speed'll be much faster than anything else you could do, since it's an actual server, plus you'll get more bandwidth than you could get at home, and you can have an interface to control it from any smartphone

Also, going back to specifically what I said. On the OpenPandora website it says And this is the feature list: ARM® Cortex™-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux 430-MHz TMS320C64x+™ DSP Core PowerVR SGX OpenGL 2.0 ES compliant 3D hardware 800x480 4.3" 16.7 million colours touchscreen LCD Wifi...

depends on the game entirely, of course I don't have this strong urge to be able to play games on the bus that I can play perfectly well at home. I don't care what the games are specifically as long as they're fun, and the iPod Touch has a huge app catalog unavailable to the Pandora and that...

What DOS games would you run on the Dingoo with controls as they are?

I understand the N900 will be easy to program for, with Maemo being a Debian based distro. Any app that doesn't use the GUI should probably compile with no modification necessary. What would be hard about getting cell service on it? Pop your SIM card in and you're good to go. That's the exact...

I hated it. Controls sucked. Could be that I was playing the PS2 version though. The bit about being compatible with modern OSes is definitely appealing with GoG.

I understand the benefit perfectly well. I'm commenting on how the landscape has changed since the Pandora was initially announced. It was originally supposed to be more powerful than anything else available. Now there's plenty of stuff out with similar or better specs in a lot of areas. As for...

Why do guys lament the lack of girls in certain circles? I don't see girls complaining about a lack of guys who are into the OC.

I'm seeing less people with dumbphones and more people with smartphones these days. Lots of smartphones come free with a contract, and since people will have the contract anyway they'll be happy to do that. iPhone's already at 30 million users and is climbing fast. BlackBerry has good...

Admittedly if you want something now, canceling the pre-order means getting your money back to buy something that's already released.

Keyboard doesn't have much of an advantage over most phones. In fact, since pretty much everyone has a phone, and you can get a good smartphone with slide out landscape keyboard the advantage of the keyboard on the Pandora is a bit redundant. Also, I'd hate to have to play a game intended for 10...

The sad thing is when it was announced it looked like it'd be the most powerful system hardware wise. Now the 3rd Generation iPod Touch is out and suddenly it's not.
