+1 I too have an iphone, but I find the lack of a keyboard and impossibility of doing real work on the device frustrating, quite apart from my own additional requirement of being able to easily develop my own software. For me the iphone really has reaffirmed my belief to me that handheld...

Hmmm. I need at least 200mA, likely a bit more. I guess this should be possible with a full charge. And in fact the main part of what I want to do is most likely to be used when the pandora is near a mains socket already. Have we any idea of what is already running from the 5V supply, other than...

Yeah, but then I can't guarantee 500mA from the USB connector... I don't want to cripple one feature to add another. Unless the USB host gives more than 500mA? Well, there are several, but I'd rather not cause any over-excitement or over sell myself when I'm still in the early stages of the...

I have been planning to place some circuits inside the pandora, and am currently in the process of designing PCBs for them... however it would be extremely useful to have some information on what voltages are available inside the pandora (from test points/other pads) and how much spare current...

I've just noticed that there are plans for the next Overo motherboard to have an omap3530, with bluetooth and wifi! :) http://www.gumstix.net/Hardware/view/Hardw...-Overo/112.html looks fun!

Well, it's a multi-user OS (Linux) and users can be assigned different access rights so if I understand you correctly the answer is yes. However, I expect the OS will come configured with just one or two accounts (user and admin) and will log you in automatically, since it is a mobile device. On...

Edit: Nevermind

Haha, yes. You're starting to sound like someone else now...

" if you have struggled HARD and tweaked for weeks on end with Linux compatible ARM devices (e.g. Zaurus) like I have, you will understand just how big a deal x86 is when it comes to development and usability." I have been working on the openpsion project for the last 7 or 8 years, porting...

Maybe. It's really a moot point right now though isn't it? We can't actually do anything with designs that don't exist.

So you like an hour and a half of battery life? Because even if you put an Atom in something the size of a Pandora, that's probably what you'd get, max. Then you'd have a much more difficult to design board because you need a lot of extra chips in an x86 (e.g. GPU) so you need more layers on the...

Isn't OMAP5 available already? And no where near as powerful as OMAP3? But seriously, I'm not buying a pandora until it has an NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL either. That will be the best, I don't understand why you don't do that. And Windows Vista too, why are you using Linux? Linux sucks! Everyone...

The 36xx appears to be exactly the same as the 34xx and 35xx except for being 45nm - no new features means that it is hard to justify waiting for it - battery life should already be good enough anyway. You should know that the 35xx is intended for open projects like pandora and beagleboard...

Oooh, marsquake for acorn. Okay, I know that's 2 now, but it's sooo good: Its a bomberman clone, but the multiplayer is far better than any other bomber game I've ever played, by a long, long way (and I've played many)
