Also, the "new" forum should just be nuked, or atleast locked off entirely if the contents are to be archived. New users still post there quite often and there's a bunch of advertisements/spam topics, it's quite dead and makes the project's organization look a bit sloppy.

Ubuntu is very bloated for a linux distribution, out of the box it runs many services most people don't even have just for ease of use. If you know what you actually need, a minimal install of Debian or Arch Linux using XFCE as the windowmanager with the EXT4 filesystem will feel and boot up...

You can successfully run Windows 7 on roughly ~130mb RAM I think it was (not that it would run acceptably - entirely off the swap file after that), you can try it out yourself - install Win7 on a virtual machine and reduce the memory repeatedly (VM lets you do it by the single megabyte) until it...

Getting a MMORPG on the pandora would be much more expensive than anything else. There's constant client updates/patches and it wouldn't simply be a 1 time cost to get a Pandora port, because the codebase for the Pandora client would have to be constantly maintained. Anyways the type of games...

x86 is almost entirely pointless on a device like this. For nearly all of the device's typical uses, there is a Linux variant available, the only thing you're missing out on is old PC games. Giving up over half the effective battery life for what's mostly redundancy is pretty stupid in my eyes...

Have you ever used a portable mp3 player that only had a ~3 hour battery life? I had one that would only last about 6 hours before, and within 2 days the battery would be drained. Some days, I would drain it from 100% to 0% in one day if I listened to alot of music. I only used it going to/from...

Besides the ARM-based Nokia tablets like the N800/N810 (and later this year N900?), there are some x86 intel-atom based MIDs that came on the market recently, but they can only be obtained directly from china at the moment: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Notebo...?ProductID=2833...

If the AA is really "zero overhead", wouldn't 400x240 still look pretty decent? If the AA method is atleast equivalent of 2x MSAA, it shouldn't be -too- noticeably pixilated on that size of screen versus 800x480 without AA.

Any arcade beat'em up that's 3+ players should work, like Dungeons and Dragons shadows over mystara

I actually bought the Pandora with gaming as a secondary function in mind. I'm going to primarily use it as a mobile internet device, also for work (troubleshooting wireless networks, etc). Pandora itself has no competition right now or in the remote future. DS/PSP can't function as a MID...

I didn't get a chance to read too much of this thread because I'm at work, but I understand there's some problems with the bank Craig is using to accept the preorders. Any word on what is going to happen to orders done by bank transfer? I was one of the few that tried to preorder via paypal...

I simply asked Jacquelyn if I could use banktransfer and she emailed me all the relative information... all I did was print out the information, take it to the bank and say "I want to send xxx GBP to this recipient" and sent the same amount that paypal refunded me, at my bank there was a fee of...

I live in Canada, and a few years back I bought a cheap used laptop off ebay for ~$300, and I got dung with a ~$110 customs fee (which really didn't make the purchase worth it). But that's only 1 of 2 times I've ever actually been charged border fees ordering things from US -> Canada, the other...
