Whenever my N900 does the new email ding, I frantically pull it out and check. There's going to be a happy dance when it's the actual delivery email, then some sleepless nights waiting.

It's just going to use a newer generation of Atom, newer than your NC10 ofcourse. This also doesn't mean very much. As I remember people at CES were saying it's performance was lackluster (the game it was running there was WoW, and only WoW) and it should be. Even ION2 netbooks can't really run...

It's still very weak in comparison to an actual GPU, and definitely won't do away with them anytime soon. These APUs won't allow you to do anything that you couldn't already do with the HD 3200/4200 IGPs on modern AMD chipsets, it'll play games faster than said IGPs but double of "next to...

The best route is likely an app specifically for youtube. On the Nokia N900 (virtually same hardware as Pandora), viewing flash within the browser itself is slow, even while overclocked to ~1ghz using the actual youtube site isn't very enjoyable, since doing some simple things like making the...

My coworker just ordered one of these. It's virtually the same as a recent android smartphone without the cellphone capability (and thus, is cheaper). I wouldn't suspect it's emulation ability is any different than those smartphones, it's using the same OS and the same hardware. Also it has...

OMAP4 isn't a large increase over what the Pandora has now, it isn't even a doubling. You can overclock the Pandora to roughly OMAP4 CPU performance levels (GPU is different, but that isn't an emulation bottleneck here). Rather than fragment the community so easily over next to nothing, it will...

This is probably one of the most silly game ports you could ever ask for, even disregarding the lack of source for WC3/HoN/LoL. Not only are these games more or less multiplayer only, it's so mouse intensive with all the last hitting/denying/movement that you couldn't ever hope to play it...

If you're asking such a question, you don't have the ability to create a "Pandora 2". There are VERY limited options as far as memory/CPU/GPU goes, there isn't really a choice for what you would be using. Not knowing this means you have absolutely no knowledge on what's actually required to put...

Basically the same controls, and effective power that a smartphone like the N900 or Droid 2 has, yet it's battery life will be only a fraction. I don't see how any of this is any more of a "pandora killer" than an N900 with a gamegripper, which isn't really a killer.

The latest Fennec builds run pretty decent on the N900 - just within the last month they've shrunk the install footprint from 43mb in 17mb just going from 4.0 Beta 1 to 4.0 Beta 2, and apparently sped up javascript by 40%. It went from nearly unusable in performance to pretty decent. It'd be...

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.48166 This adapter looks really nice for the Pandora. It should be barely noticeable at all when plugged in and has has wireless N support. It's a realtek RTL8188CUS chipset which has open source linux drivers, so it should be workable.

More often than not when I've ordered things simply going from US to Canada, it takes of 5-6 weeks.

The forum activity here is quite a bit lower than the gp32x pandora section.

Alot of the emulators (ie: PCSX2) are so low-level optimized for specific CPUs to get usable performance that cross compiling to an ARM CPU simply will not work. Why would anyone waste their time porting these when the specs of the Pandora have absolutely no chance in hell of emulating them...

You will still have to convert files on the N900. You can't play files much above the 800x480 screen resolution (forget playing 720p files, xvid or h264). You can manually force mplayer to scale via software down to a proper, playable resolution, but it's VERY slow even overclocked. If the file...

The ones that are flash would probably be mostly unplayable even if the Pandora did have flash. Even my N900 (same cpu as Pandora) overclocked to 1.1ghz can barely handle anything flash, even youtube is a bit laggy. Farmville is almost unplayable on my netbook using a 2ghz atom cpu, so Pandora...

I would actually be pretty surprised if I got mine by November, and I preordered 2 years ago on day 1 of preorders.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250-Ohm headphones Audio-gd Sparrow DAC + Amp via USB connection . Though I might end up buying a closed, lower impedance pair of headphones for the Pandora if they don't drive it well enough without the amp, maybe some audio-technica ATH-M50s. I've bought...

All my original consoles are either dead, controllers worn out, components lost in move, etc. With emulation I can multitask or quicksave to sneak in some play here and there.

Alot of the people on the Maemo forums are also the type who aren't willing to experiment or "risk" their device, ie: they'll take a kernel preset for 900mhz.. it works, maybe try 1000mhz... it crashes, so they assume 900mhz is the highest. Alot won't try changing the voltages or bother trying...
