I found two posts by Chip from a while ago that should settle this:

hmm, I didn't think of that, actually, but now that you say it, it *is* similar in a way... just ignore it then :D

About the prototype cases (the CNC ones)... Mweston's page with the FDM pic gives at least some information: QUOTE As far as more complete prototypes (CNC'd) go, I won't have anything until the New Year. That page overall somehow gave me the impression that the CNC case is on its way to...

I've got a little bit of story to add to the "cure the badassery" one: The Hammers don't just hate Nail without a reason: They think he's their Messiah and will allow them to attain world domination and enforce world peace (without their robots - they tried that a few times and failed, because...

yeah, but it's possible to charge via usb (involves a bit of soldering though) And if that doesn't work, it shouldn't be too much work to find the pins on the connector and make a new cable that provides the 5V/0.5A it needs :)

I honestly don't think the dev team would lie to the community like that... They'd probably rather give users the option to buy assembled units w/o the finished OS, as long as the BIOS is working right. Besides, why would they take the risk of having somebody find out the truth and thus loosing...

The character demo is pretty cool, but *please* don't make the slash animation as long... the guy pulls back the sword waay too far, which will only annoy players ;)

It is recently completely open source. Where did you find that? All the information I found seemed to be either pointing towards it being entirely closed or a mixture of proprietary and open bits...

Okay, I had forgotten the name and had to go look for it, but I found it again: Canola looks like it's just what the OP was looking for - well, with the addition of picture, podcast and video modules, but I imagine they don't all run at the same time, so there shouldn't be much of a performance...

I think Android's JVM should be enough, we'll have at least 2 UIs to choose from at launch anyway, and they will be optimized for small devices too, obviously :) And to the whole Google discussion I'll just say that I trust Google more with my information than any other provider of the same...

I really like Mr. Gonzo's animation as well, but as a *boot* animation, it's out of the picture... a boot animation would have to fit in the 128KB (I think) for the BIOS... it would make for a really cool splash-screen, though...

I think SVN/trac could provide a few of the points: status of projects, assigning jobs, listing skills (through the tickets a coder/artist is working on or a short profile) and messaging (comments are possible I think). The rest, especially linking to tutorials and having a file archive, but...

Pandora + TV-Cable + Dev fund :)

Kloplop brought up a point I wanted to: It's only for _booting_, i.e. starting from a complete shutdown. The devs have said before that probably won't happen very often, because the battery's so good and the SoC has a very low-drain standby mode. So I think it's okay to put some time into a...

I remember using hypercard in school... it's like Powerpoint + Flash... in Black&White >.<

I also think I remember one of the dev team saying that the price can only be that low because they had to make a commitment for more than 3000 units...

I'm not really sure if voting for GUI was the right thing to do any more, but I think it was, mostly because, as many people said, there are quite a few working emulators already. The GUI on the other hand will be the first thing people see if one were to show off the Pandora to others, and it...

actually, there's still watches that have radium numbers on them...
