Nokia bought speed-sorted chips for the N800 and N810. I don't know if they did that also for the N900, but it's not impossible. Just as (another) warning against simple compararisions with the Pandora chip. As to USB host, if you read through that enormous thread it's clear that Nokia didn't...

I can tell what I turned out to do _in practice_[1] with my N800.. I suddenly find myself with a full SD card in my camera, and no spare card available. But there's space on a computer I can reach through wi-fi via my N800. So I take the card out of the camera and insert into the external slot...

The Beagleboard uses a HDMI plug for DVI simply because it's physically smaller than a DVI plug. But it's still just DVI.

Well, if it hadn't come with wi-fi built-in then I for one wouldn't have even considered ordering. It's utterly essential for my use case. Using a dongle would be a terrible inconvenience. Just get it produced and it'll get sorted out eventually, as someone else already said in another posting...

1) There are still tons of devices out there with full-size SD slots. If you own any of those (I have lots: Cameras, multi-track recorder, etc.) then you will want your Pandora to support those cards. 2) Full-size is MUCH cheaper, and afaik still faster. 3) Micro-SD is just too darn *small*. Way...

Yes, since early 1992. Currently on Debian Sid. Happy camper.

I still use my old Nokia N800 to send emails. I'm not always in my office or anywhere else with a computer. Can't carry laptops around in corridors either. And these days I also send some from my N900. I see emails from my co-workers with 'sent from my HTC' or 'iPhone' or some such, but my...

Well, what I actually described in that posting was how I used scratchbox for _maemo_ development. However, I have built a few small applications in the Pandora SDK which I have deployed successfully on a Nokia tablet (those were SDL-based games). I'm eagerly waiting for my Pandora, and I expect...

Aha, yes, that would make sense. Otherwise I guess the N900 would also have been hit by the current SDIO breakage in the kernel.

Aren't the devices using the same wi-fi chip? TI 1251 or something like that? Bluetooth I'm not sure about. The rest is pretty similar, if you just ignore the N900 GPS, camera and GSM chips. It's easy enough to install a bootloader on the N900 which will let you boot from SD, for example. It's...

Well, in large parts of Europe there isn't any carrier-crippling of tethering, forced device registration or the like. You can basically use any computer or whatever, with any phone that you own.

If you want Debian _and_ bleeding edge, you simply install Sid instead of Lenny (names other than Sid will be the stable releases). I've been using Sid for years, and I always get access to the bleeding edge. Just remember to install apt-listbugs, that'll be a lot of help to avoid upgrading to...

My gut feeling is that the area of the Pandora is way too small to provide any useful amount of power via solar cells.

If you really need more juice then get something like this: http://www.powerstream.com/PST-MP3500.htm I haven't tried it myself, but I'm looking into it, could be useful with a number of devices that I carry.

There's a 'phonelink' application for the N800/N810 tablets. Something like that could presumably work on the Pandora too. All the pieces are open source I believe. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/phonelink/

Thanks urjaman, that sounds like it could be it. I wonder if the system is still functional. It did work all over / across Europe at the time.

I don't have any problems following the old hardware/production status page (everything happens at the bottom, with more and more fields going green), but whenever the new OS status addition changes I'm unable to see what changed when I clicked 'reload'. So, what about a 'changebar' to the...

@Aninhumer: Thinking back (hey, it's been > 10 years..) I believe the dial-up connection wasn't modulating the audio on the GSM signal, the phone went into 'data mode' (which was probably GPRS[1], but that term wasn't used then). But it still worked just as you would expect for a modem. I...

Last year I took a simple SDL-based game and compiled it with the then-Pandora SDK. Then I executed it on my N800. It worked just fine, no problems at all - I just had to install a couple of SDL libraries (readily available for the N800. That old SDK produced OMAP2-compatible executables, and...

In case this needs clarification: YES, it's entirely possible to use good old dial-up via a GSM phone, just as you would with a land line. It works the same way: You need to connect your computer (I've only done this with a cable, because it's been a while) or with bluetooth. Then use AT...
