So... Don't get an Open Pandora because you'd have to carry around a keyboard/mouse. Get a smartphone instead. Because then you wouldn't? >_> Let me hear you spell f-a-l-l-a-c-y. I assume you didn't mean the "computer-like" comment literally. Turing aside, the Open Pandora is closer to a...

XL? sounds great. Regular size I'd have to think about but wouldn't be bad. Of course we'll do our own *design* so we're not copycats, but a similar form factor to the 3DS is where it's at, I agree. Yes, there's no doubt a spectrum, just asking what the principle aim should be and you said it...

I don't see how to win both ways on this, but perhaps I am missing something. Smartphones are pocketable but obviously uncomfortable for typing and gaming. Add on an iCP or Moga and now you've got comfort but you've lost pocketability. nVidia Shield isn't pocketable at all but looks very...

Yes, I've seen the Pi-to-Go, but I was playing along with the hypothetical that this would be mass-produced. That solution was almost 400 USD, not exactly something an average Pi owner would be interested in... so yeah, point taken. It would be too expensive. :P

^ No doubt this would be an enormous amount of work. A case redesign at minimum would be required. And if we're going that far, might as well ditch the existing screen and keyboard (the former which is outdated, the latter which is not well-liked). Instead, choose components that will interface...

Definitely, we should. It just enhances the retro and physical control aspects that we all love so much. I wouldn't mind if the unit even got a little bigger if we had nice reliable switches that felt good. Never held a NGP but its "D-pad" looks delicious to me.

I would just really appreciate a consistent message. If you said there won't be a P2 out of rage, or if you changed your mind, that's really fine. But you never came back and said as such, so in effect you've given us double talk which personally I'm not a fan of. If waffling and mystic...

I have some constructive feedback. Under the MK808B, the description says: There are two errors in that last sentence, see if you can spot them.

Ah, my misunderstanding.  The legacy argument goes along with the power consumption argument, if ARM were outclassed then I would agree we wouldn't have to stay. But 0.11W idle vs maybe 1.2W... that's not quite the same ballpark. Our software is optimized against the former, so it makes more...

Niche, "just because"? Who here gave you no reasons for wanting to stay with ARM? EDIT: Personally, I don't want shitty battery life in a small package, and that's going off Exophase's arguments which you ultimately agreed with, that even your AMD APU will be not nearly as efficient. And of...

Not sure I followed the last bit about sacrificing devas? If we have some of these lying around I would hesitate to sacrifice them purely for the sake of saving some HLA's for the later battles... :P Are you saying ED is an elitist for his stance on remaining niche? If it's elitist for the...

It's kind of like proposing to shove a sports car engine into a hybrid. People here like efficiency, and less efficient is less efficient no matter much you mitigate, simple as that. If newer technology gives us more power in our battery then we should seek to leverage that in reducing the...

Get a Pandora! It's got a REAL keyboard! :D (obligatory)

Pretty weak argument. If cross-compiling is a problem for you, then might I suggest ptitSeb's port of CodeBlocks. The Pandora can compile code too, dontcha know. ;) Seriously though, have you got any links of devs complaining about this? Cross-compilation's not exactly uncommon when developing...

Well I can explain more in private messages if you like. I appreciate your forthrightness though, thanks. Sure, I'd be less adamant. Actually I've had a bit of a thing for the UMID SE when they were still sold on ebay half a year ago or so... I'm only stuck on ARM because the smartest guys here...

There was another guy posting about making an x86 handheld, why don't you join forces with him? Your statement there indicates that you don't understand people's interest in the current generation of Pandora. I highly recommend posting in Other Consoles, as to me this proposal in reality has...

I like your style a lot, Porg. You demonstrate excellent qualities that any professional should have. You're meticulous, thorough, and boldly dedicated to every undertaking. Were we to draft a dream team for the Pandora 2 I'd vote for you to head the quality assurance team. Beyond what others...

Seems to absolutely be the fault of the screen. The newer screens are less sensitive to touch and less bright. Probably the touch sensitivity is the worse of the two issues. Doesn't seem to be fixable as the screen has been out of manufacture. Certainly it's not a dealbreaker, but it's also...

Does the P2 need a dedicated charge port? (EDITED) Obviously it doesn't with present day technologies, so I think the goal of this poll needs clarification. It's back to striking the balances. I have no idea if it makes electrical sense in the present day. It might not, but my sense is that...

I want the person leading the P2 IF it ever happens to have strong, consistent, and unfiltered communication with the community.
