Mmh? you could make some nice eyecandy on top of this, but I think 'keep it simple' wins in the long-term (i.e. max. one day :P ) Lots of wasted space (could be used to display battery power, SD card space, time/date, internet connectivity status... though) And, remember this thing has a...

Erm... now you wait for Pandora to turn up at your front door :P -- Try connecting to 3G using your desktop/laptop running linux.

IMHO Pandora hardly could die emitting blue smoke [ how d'you want to burn down something with such a low power draw? ], except if the battery itself burnt down... Could die another way though, of course.

Framebuffer driver is completely open source. I've heard that OpenGL ES -enabled driver will be open source kernel module + binary blob. [ like many Xorg OpenGL drivers... ]

C'mon. Who'd want to recompile ubuntu when there's an ARM port of debian. :P

Machine conf should be easy: take beagleboard conf file, change "big screen" to "small screen", tell it about touchscreen and a few other features...

*checks out PWM* By the way, noticed the new blog post - by the looks of it, Ubuntu does run... Debian should work quite easily. Gentoo seems to run on ARM too, might be a nice idea. I'll try it out on my laptop first though. OpenEmbedded might be a nice way to get something suited to all your...

Good flash chips last longer than hard disks now... ...especially if you smash both on the floor every second day like I do. QUOTE At the moment i think i'll just leave that 256 meg free, or do what the folks on here recommend. Think i'll have an SD for OS+Apps and another for Emulators+Roms...

The final keyboard isn't the one on the renders, though; that was just a mock-up.

Pages I saw seemed to suggest 2 DMIPS/MHz for celeron M, but then didn't find anything very clear. Sdedalus, that would mean 4 DMIPS/MHz ?

I guess we'll know about the keyboard before the 30th :D EDIT: erm, of course, I meant 'before 23:59 on the 30th'

Camera extension? Um... I was planning to buy some good USB webcam, and use it to take pictures of the image from a Zeiss Biotar 2.8/80 (and other interesting lenses) on some 6x6cm ground glass. :P tazg's addon system looks good. For my personal needs, it would be: 1. First addon with USB hub...

Erm... correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd guess that RAM excepted, Pandora is more powerful than similarly priced netbooks. (low-end eeePCs and such)

Erm... ready to repeatedly press 'refresh' button... :P

TiEmu? :P

Don't you see? He wants IE7, WMP... and Windows! :P ------------- I kinda' prefer bash aesthetics.

I guess it could *not* be put into a firmware update - Pandora is supposed to be as open as possible, right?

1. Charge battery 2. Compile some openembedded image (with LXDE?), add build tools (gcc, make & such), nano, links2, gphoto2, gimp , some wireless connection tools, some flickr upload app, a simplistic blogger client... [ fast "take picture - edit it - blog it" system :P ], add many other useful...

...can't wait to *cough* part with my money *cough* open Pandora's box.
