Just let me yell and rant a bit for a moment, ok? Xbox360 arcade doesn't count. That machine borders unusability. It's meant for people getting a second Xbox, and to lower the marketing-price... "technologically-illiterate people": guess what? that's >90% of the entire (western) human...

We've got a DSP :) As for the rendering: this is what I believe I know about it, correct me if I'm wrong: with DRI1, XVideo and OpenGL would always render straight into the framebuffer, even with compositing on. DRI1 pretty mch completely bypassed the X-server. With DRI2, the X-server has more...

If you're that concerned about proprietary software, don't get an x86-PC. Those are pretty full of proprietary code, even when running linux without closed drivers. For starters, The BIOS, firmware of all kinds of devices, several of which have access to main memory (f.ex videocard, hdd). ACPI...

Seems like there's a language-problem going on in this thread...

A security issue in the 3D-driver WILL allow an app to gain root-access, as X is running as root... (BTW, that's also true for linux-desktops...) Luckily, there's work going on to get X to run as non-root, but it requires KMS (kernel-mode-setting, X normally handles mode-setting, requiring...

Seems to me like you should get a job in UI-design. Seems like that's what you're good at, and like doing...

My problem with appstore: it's not a store. In a store, you have a shopkeeper that determines what's sold and what's not. We don't. Everyone's allowed to dump their PND's in there. That's more like a bazaar. So, let's call it PNDazaar :)

http://opensource.palm.com/1.3.5.2/index.html is a list of all of the stuff they use. I guess you should be able to find the wifi-driver in the kernel-code/patch.

mplayer can handle flv's. So you could use f.ex gecko-mediaplayer for your flash-video needs. Gives you better performance as well.

Not exactly. PAL and SECAM are technically just color-encoding techniques, and the resolution and refresh rate are separate standards. NTSC is a set of standards, including color encoding. North America and half of SA use NTSC-M: 525 scanlines(486 visible), 30 interlaced fps (29.97 to be...

There are twice as many people living in China as in Europe. Speaking about "China" when you've only been in (f.ex) Shanghai is the same as speaking about "Europe" when you've only been in London.

Ever considered paying that factory a visit?

That browser renders the pages on skyfire's servers, sending images to the device, is for WM and symbian, and is closed-source. Still want it?

I sure hope so. The wifi-chip is connected through sdio... You do need a driver for your sdio-device though...

You still need to get your software distributed. Without any users, you won't be seeing any money anyways. No publicity, no-one knows you, no money... The most effective way on linux to get your software distributed is getting it into the distro's repositories. You'll only be able to do so with...

Anyone have objections against a script that downloads the n900-image, extracts the flash-plugin, and installs it on the pandora? }:

Google most probably also stores the originally uploaded video. They'll be stupid if they don't. IF they're going to re-encode, they'll use that file of course... AFAIK, ogg is nowadays pretty much on par with h.264 in quality, or quality/MB. The source-material may have some effect though.(most...

Also consider battery life. 2.5W (max for usb) will drain the battery in 6 hours.
