    Browser Performance On Pandora

    This topic reminded me to see if there was a update for swfdec. So, going from 0.64 -> 0.82, there is a improvement on the decoding speed ( you tube, at leased it does not choke anymore ), and some most off the compatibility for you tube has been added. But, all the other flash content that i...

    Cnc Case That Should Be Finished Tomorrow

    CE / FCC testing has no real bearing on the board itself. Wifi/BT/Battery, thats the stuff that heats up those guys. :) In other words, anything that can be considered a safety to the consumer, and a lack in product quality. If they are using a standardized Wifi/BT chip, the amount off power...

    Cnc Case That Should Be Finished Tomorrow

    Is not one off the sell points in PC vs Console wars, that the Console fanboys claim how expensive PC's are compare to a Console. Expect that a lot off people seem to buy a revision during the lifespan ( like a PS2 -> PS2 Slim, PSP -> PSP 3000, DS -> DSi etc ). Joined with the higher game...

    Why Do We Still Use These Forums?

    Well, it might help if this forum is not so easy to bring down. And that they fix that *arg* single quote problem, and link problem. Its beyond annoying, it makes some posts, especially if somebody edits there, looks like total unreadable dribble if they use a lot off single quotes. How long...

    Vmware Demo Showing Two Operating Systems Running On The N800

    Looks interesting: Android and Windows CE on a nokia N800 using VMware www.umpcportal.com/2009/02/youtube-vmware-demo-showing-two-operating-systems-running-on-the-n800 And we all know that the n800 is using a OMAP2, so rather compatible with the Pandora's Omap3... Think this opens up the door...

    Die Shrunk Omap3: Lower Power, Higher Speeds, Better Graphics

    True, the PSP is not a fixed platform. But, none off the games for the PSP are designed with 64MB memory in mind. Just some games run better, then others ( less < 30fps = frame drops ) because off the 32MB memory. We can not exactly compare the PSP as a marvel experience in the upgrades. They...

    Question About The Battery Of The Pandora

    Full load ( @500Mhz ) running the snes emulator was 8.5hours, if i remember correctly. There was no information on the screens brightness.

    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    I don't think that the OMAP4430 differs so much from the 3640. The biggest change is the Multi core A9, and a second camera it seem. All the rest like BT, WIFI, GPS connections etc are present in the 36xx serie.

    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    From what i read, the OMAP 3530 = OMAP 3530/3540 with the only difference that its a die shrink ( and faster speed on the 3540 ). So, there is not reason for kernel or driver support to change. Mithrildor: Thats why i also asked for Craigex's opinion. We don't have the contacts at TI to know...

    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    This is a spinoff from this topic: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showt...mp;#entry701617 Quote from the forum linking to the that article got my attention: "expect the OMAP36xx and 37xx families @45nm shortly" These are the new 45nm versions: # OMAP3640 - 800 MHz ARM Cortex A8 + 430 MHz...

    Blog Update 2/15/09

    Mali, i hope your being sarcastic? I think this "language" specific is going overboard. I don't see people going, and trowing treads around, for the OQO 2+ or the UX for not having specific xxx language keys. Lets see: The French want there own layout. The Germans want there own layout. The...

    Possibility To Maybe Incrrease Ram With Flash Drive?

    Not at all... I think you are using the wrong term. Swap = file on HD. You mean cache. For example: CODE total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8199480 8151704 47776 0 25908 4835456 -/+ buffers/cache: 3290340 4909140...

    Possibility To Maybe Incrrease Ram With Flash Drive?

    For comparisons: A "Fast" SD will read between 15 a 30MB/s, and not taking in account slower write times. The internal Ram does something along the lines off 75 a 100 times that. Like Klaus said, The basic idea is to put a lot off small files ( the type that a HD is normally bad with, but a...

    Atom Vs Pandora

    Sure about that? A lot off reports ( and a few reviews ) state 4 hours of video playback, and 12 hours for music. Those 7 hours are ones claimed by the manufacture, under ideal tests ( lowest brightness, low sound volumn etc )... The Archos 5 also used a mechanical HD. And we all know those...

    Better Tv-out Using Usb

    Chip, where did you find the information that the OMAP3530 is able to decode 1080p video "barely". Have there been tests done for that on the Pandora, or is this information from the Beagle board?

    Atom Vs Pandora

    Basic calculation: ARM ( whole platform ): 2Watt Atom ( whole platform ): 3 a 4Watt The best Atom has a known power usage off 2.5Watt. The entire Arm platform using 0.5 to 1.5watt minus the CPU? I don't think so. Its known that for instance, the "Intel System Controller Hub US15W" uses 5 watt...
