welcome to the world of open-source. any stupid software flaws such as, not having an external-button kill-function for when the clam is closed, is clearly something that would be fixed in a matter of days following the Pandora release.
as for audio playback... at first i was really excited...
i was always under the impression FAT16 was limited to 2gb. back in the day when Compactflash cards were stuck at 2gb, i thought it was because that was the limit of FAT16.
and then the market shifted, and new cameras supported FAT32 cards to get past that 2gb step. i used to work retail...
i grew up with a TG16, and heres my fav games:
- Alien Crush (strange pinball game)
- Keiths Courage (side scroller, it was the flagship game of the TG16 in the US/Canada market)
- R-type
- Legendary Axe
- Bonk's Adventure, and all sequals
- all Bomberman games (92 i remember especially)...
cash in hand, and waiting patiently.
i have 4x 16gb SDHC cards, and a nice slim 250gb USB HDD that i plan on trying out on the pandora.
im also planning on sewing a nice canvas case/pouch for my pandora. maybe ill just make a wooden mock-up of the pandora, and sew it around that. (yeh ive...
perhaps you should ask your faithfully appointed leader
but seriously, we canadians dont like our dollar being higher than the USD (i mean personally we do, cause im only a few hour drive from some nice us shopping sites). but our economy does much better when we're just slightly below the...
you decided this in the 10 days youve been a member of this forum?
i'm no veteran myself, but seriously, even if it gets bumped 1 or 2 months, that is pretty good considering this project isn't being worked by an industry giant like MS or Sony.
for them to give a 2-month window, that far in...
so you want to hide porn on your Pandora?
im not sure about how the OS on the Pandora is going to be arranged, but im certain Linux has a password feature on the shell, before it launches X-windows (if you have it set up to do that).
im not very savvy with Linux, ive only ran it a few times...
im sure the skinning of the UI will include some basic 1-colour themes.
having just a Terminal would be ghey. relying too much on a tiny qwerty is annoying as hell. touch screen is going to be what will make this thing a pleasure to use.
if it came out with just a terminal, there would...
go for it
looks to me like it would be a very low-interest project (no offense to your interests).
for the first while, the pandora dev scene is going to be very heavily invested in the most popular apps/games. i cant imagine this project would be picked up, unless a dev wanted it him/herself.
the iPhone may not be open-source, but it is very Open. Apple just released a free SDK for the iPhone/iTouch. they are actively encouraging developers to jump on board.
i think it is ridiculous to compare the Pandora to the iPhone. the iPhone lacks any controls at all. onscreen controls...
dont get me wrong, the OQO is everything its supposed to be, and everything it needs to be. the best UMPC out there by far. its just simply not designed for gaming (as far as controls go).
having said that, when they were making the OQO model 1, they had it running Quake 3 for one of their...
friend of mine has an OQO model 2 running Vista. i tried playing a few of the emulators he had loaded on it.
the controls just arent there. he had W,A,S,Z setup as directionals, and the keypad on the right setup as the numbered buttons. way too unnatural. he has an N64 emulator on it...
