.tgz is the acronym for .tar.gz. Using the technical but slightly archaic definition, they are gzipped (tape) archive files. More clearly, they are just zipped up files, similar to .zip or .rar. And, in the same way, a .tgz file could be a compressed single file, or (more likely) a collection of...

I think it could still be quite fun on the thumb-keyboard, and people get quite fast on them with long use. You could have an option for keeping two high-scores, one for thumbing and one for full external keyboard. Maybe even as separate modes of play, to correlate with the different buttons...

My boyfriend's IBM X41 gets wireless reception in places where my Dell X200 doesn't. If the Pandora is able to get reception on weak signals, I could see using that to provide access to those systems with less capable wireless cards.

I'd rather see a front end to a package manager on the Pandora itself. Since the Pandora is basically a full fledged system, I think I'll be using it more like a desktop than, for example, my old Palm device. I'd really like something like Cydia on the iPhone (front end for apt), which allows...

Because geeks need clothes too. We can't all sit in dark rooms in boxers hunched over our Pandoras all day. (Hm, I'd need to get some boxers... I've always heard girls look hot in boxers ;) ) T-shirts, mugs and caps aren't a bad idea. Some people appreciate wearing geeky shirts, and that...

I would love to be able to keep the same UI both in whatever comes stock and in whatever extra linux-ness I might install. That said, I had to rewrite that last sentence 3 times, as I realized I'm not entirely certain what will be "stock", despite my regular forum reading. I have vague memories...

That's not entirely true. I have a battery charger which has a 2 prong US plug, but it accepts both Euro and American voltages. It just requires a very cheap plug adapter (as opposed to a voltage adapter). And it's designed to sit flat to the wall, so it doesn't work quite so elegantly with the...

I know Bill Kendrick uses it for his TuxPaint app. He gave a presentation on it, and there's also a demo on their CVS repository. I was interested in using SVG on the Pandora as well. It looks like Cairo may already work on the GP2X.

In the interest of making it easier to remember which button to hit, perhaps instead use the left shoulder button while hitting power to boot from the left SD slot, and hold right shoulder button to boot from the right SD slot. Boot from USB would be grand (I just got a WD passport. Woot, I...

I'm not extremely knowledgeable on the topic of libraries. However, it seems like software developers like using nifty new features of recently released libraries, and library programmers like fixing bugs. Having the libraries dynamic and managed by a package manager would make this easier...
