Just wanted to be kept in the loop as to updates to this thread. I really like the clean design and the over all look and feel. Great work.

I don't know if this was a dream (nightmare) I had, but it was that only EU pre-orders were being send out for the first 300 built.

Amen to that. I guess it's time to put my coding hat back on. Get back in the game. I wish my job wasn't taking over my life. Sucks to get a "day off" and spend a full 8 hours in the server room because you're a perfectionist.

Heh, 2 years ago it was an "idea" now it's here. Besides it's always easier to look on something that's been developed and pu-pu it, than to design something new in the first place. It's good to know I'm not the only logical thinking person. :)

A rootkit can getinstalled from any system explioit that goes undetected. If you download a virus as a user it can do all the same things (with regards to stealing user info) it just needs to find an exploit to get root privelages. With a firmware style system you can get far more "mielage"...

Why? You're running a firmware based system not an installed system. A flash will take maybe a half hour. The only reason people bother "cleaning up" viruses on desktop computers is because they don't want to re-install all their applications and get all their settings back. If there were a...

This is the last time I will try and help you guys understand. A virus running as user can delete all your data, all your pnd files and all your settings leaving you with a bare-bones pandora. A virus running as root can delete everything, leaving you the need to re-flash you pandora. The...

It really doesn't come with all the security concerns. Physical access makes ANYTHING hackable. With handhelds physical access is SO easy to come by that if you're storing damning information like your social/financial information on there you're asking to get screwed. Saying that something is...

Ummmm... the OS is going to be "set" on the nand with hotfixes that come down at user discretion. It doesn't matter worth a damn if you have multi-users if your base os is going to be set at stable versions and thus as an exploit is found it will be usable because it's not getting daily security...

Security is important. But normal people don't lock closets. Please tell me what you are "securing" on the pandora. It's an enhanced feature above current gaming handhelds, not a necessity. A nintendo DS is not inherently less secure by being single user.

I'm well aware of how uxix/linux works it's just that I keep seeing the pandora as a handheld and largely ignore the fact that it's really just a linux distro dropped on some sweet custom hardware. I just read through libpnd_hub, and browsed around the libpnd source so it makes a lot more sense...

I'm sorry Jeff but I'm really really confused. Why the heck would you design a system for a handheld that gives 2 hoots about multi-user? If there's multiple users on a single handheld at the same time they're doing it wrong. I mean it's great to fulfill all sorts of crazy use cases; however...

Any info on what brand/model/cost the wifi stick being tested was?

* game console 3 o emulated systems 2 o native games 1 * computer companion 6 o internet 2 o work/job 2 o personal 2

Lol if only you could poach the FF7 battle theme for it :-P I'm really friggen excited for the game as well. Keep it up!

Shame i'm the only one repping jersey.

I think you need to really consider how much resolution you want. I'd much rather watch 320x240 pr0n than count hairs on a cooter....

*sigh* forget it.

Take a look at the booster used in the "minty boost" It can do 5v and 12v while the input voltage is quite flexible. http://www.linear.com/pc/productDetail.jsp...031,C1060,P1029

I belive in you guys! Just keep chugging along!
