It looks interesting. Although I don't like the some free-with-premium-content model, I'll probably play it if it's on the Pandora (looks interesting enough otherwise). They already have a linux client, so it seems like it wouldn't take an outstanding amount of work to port it. Of course...

Haiku! The BeOS family is excellent at getting the most out of low end specs (relative to PCs). But, other than the sheer geek pleasure in it, there's seriously no point. The GUI wouldn't work that great, there'd be no drivers or software. But it'd be a combination of my two favorite...

With an x86 you essentially have an OQO. Good for PC compatibility, but horrible for battery life and price.

Hmm... this seems like it could be a useful idea. Voice chat over ad hoc WiFi if you're within 100m, switch to internet chat using a wireless access point (if available) if you're out of range. Cell phones are ubiquitous enough to probably work better though. A distance estimator for finding...

I'm a bit doubtful that a chorded keyboard could get you up to normal typing speeds, since it'd have to wait XX milliseconds to see if another button is about to be pressed. However, it would be cool to have, and quite possibly faster to use than the default keyboard. If you wanted to do it...

One thing to be away of is that Ctrl and Alt are common modifiers in games as well. I can think of little that would be more likely to get a poor Pandora flung against a wall than someone accidentally closing their game when they mean to crouch and shoot or something. Letters should be fine...

+1 Although I'd suggest not using Alt+F4. IIRC that's used for virtual desktops in Linux. Personally I'd go for Ctrl+Q rather than Alt+F4 for four reasons: 1) Q for quit makes more sense than X, K, C, D, F4, E, S, or T; 2) It's in the corner of the keyboard (mostly); 3) It's next to W, and...

Has anyone contacted RedShift yet? They make some nice dungeon crawlers and seem to be focused on the PDA market.

I'd count on battery life being roughly cut in half. The Pandora gets ~10 hours from a 4000 mAh battery and runs at 5 V (info from a quick googling). 4000 mAh / 10h = 400 mA ==> 5 V * 400 mA = 2 W. So the Pandora uses about 2 W of power by itself. Assuming a USB harddrive pulls close to the...

Sounds like a solid and useful idea. My only suggestion would be falling back onto UDP Hole Punching for NAT'd connections before using an external server so as to reduce latency and server load.

Most people here probably know about how lithium ion batteries lose capacity with age. The rate at which this happens depends on charge level and temperature. If a battery is kept charged at 100% capacity, then at room temperature it'll lose about 20% of it's total capacity after a year...

In that vein, how's MPlayer's subtitle support? VLC doesn't do a great job (the font color changes but that's about it), whereas MPC + ffdshow + Haali Media Splitter does better. Some screenshots to illustrate the difference (first relevant google images results)...

Ah, it seems that other people have been having trouble with those two levels. I had to cheese the press one, and I've been stuck on the 90 second Full Clear for like a week (I've been busy). I once got a void block, but I couldn't set-up a full clear in the .5 seconds I had left (combo...

Sorry if I'm a bit off topic or if some of this has already been suggested (I haven't read the 37 pages of posts before this one). Here are some of my suggestions (basically inexpensive things that improve quality IMHO). The touchscreen protector: I've always liked the GP2X screen protector...

Well while I'm stuck (on H1) I guess I'll share the bugs that I've noticed (I have a first edition GP2X running 2.1.1). First, the game doesn't return to the menu about half the time I quit, just a black screen. I think that happens when battery life is low. Second, the requirement for...
