Well, I'm going to be testing any OS that gets ported over! I'm a freak like that. :P I'm most excited about Mer/Ubuntu 9.10 MID, as the developers have UMPCs/MIDs in mind while working on it, not phones (Maemo 5, Android). [complete speculation] I'm betting Chrome will heavily rely on...

I believe that OP is using E17 (Enlightenment) as their main desktop environment. That DE has a UI mode called Illume which is supposed to be a very finger-friendly UI. EDIT: Here are some videos of Illume. Hopefully it progresses nicely in time. :P

Considering the director of marketing at ARM, Nandan Nayampally, estimates that the Cortex-A9 will start appearing in retail products in Q4 of 2010, I really wish people would stop asking for that upgrade now. Hell, who knows the possible bugs that a new untested SoC would have if they rushed a...

Yeah, I was planning on WD as well. Just make sure you go for the old styled design (two heavily beveled edges with two less beveled). The newer uniform ones apparently have a new non-standard USB plug and mount as two separate partitions, one being unformatable.

Anything that runs on ScummVM The best of the PSX, Amiga, Commodore, and Spectrum libraries All of the good NES, SNES, and Sega games I didn't play as a kid including the Metroid series, the Megaman series, and the Castlevania series. Oh, and LERP!

I plan on getting a 16GB card and a 500GB or 620GB 2.5" mobile hard drive. I'll offload what I want on the card while still keeping all of my data with me. 32GB is just way too expensive right now.

Here is the Angstrom Linux distribution package browser. It has many of the Linux applications you would find useful already ported. If you primarily use Windows try the programs out with a live Linux CD from any popular distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE.

My guess is they lock in the price when they order all of the parts for the next batch.

I did not, but then I sent an email for confirmation and they replied back when they could.

I believe they are currently in a closed beta.

Anything from Blizzard, especially Diablo I or II.

I would just go with a 2.5" HDD. The Western Digital ones are all smaller than the width and length of the Pandora. Only slightly larger than a classic iPod and so much cheaper per GB than a 1.8" drive. A 500GB is only $97.69.

Apple charges anyone that wants to create software in their closed environment, lending incentive to even the worst developers to try and recoup that cost. This is also known as the Amie Street method, just applied to indie games instead of indie music. :P The theory is word of mouth sells...

I'm sorry you are bailing, but you just made some hopeful preorderer's day! I'm sure they will get to your refund once they get caught up with their emails. Good luck on future endeavors.

You all are making me want Arby's curly fries! And also, my Pandora.

It is just a second-hand shop. Like a charity shop, but the profits go to the owners, not a charity. They obviously didn't know what they had. :D

Yeah! And why do new unlocked phones cost $500+?!?! And why do UMPCs cost $2000+?!?! Why do x86 MIDs cost $600+?!?! [/sarcasm]

Maybe he runs his screen at 1024x768 and centers the image with a large bezel. Maybe he added it to a Pandora mosaic of images. Maybe he stretched the image to huge proportions to give it that pixel art feel. :P

But that takes effort D: Yeah, webcams are like printers in Linux that way. You really should research what you get before you lay down money. :/

Oh, I forgot the most notable tidbit from that purchase. It was a thrift mart find. I payed $10! :D
