    Nokia N900 Or Openpandora

    Is the DSP something common to all of these Cortex-A8 devices, or is that something that the N900 does not have?

    Daily Updates?

    $ zypper moo \\\\\ \\\\\\\__o __\\\\\\\'/_ I don't know what the above is actually supposed to be, but my mind is blown. Now I need to find a Mandriva Live CD to try "urpmoo" or something. This is a most acceptable daily update for me.

    Confirmed; Future Pandora Device To Include Phone!

    Pandora is all about nostalgia, so no rotary, no buy.

    Fellow Pre-Orderers: Reveal Yourselves

    Nope, Eo is right. In the film, the unit used is "jigawatts". "Gigawatt" is pronounced with a hard 'G'.

    Unpainted Vs. Grey Vs. Gray Vs. Black

    I think we should at this point revisit the idea of going glossy iPhone white. (just kidding, it looks great!)

    Fellow Pre-Orderers: Reveal Yourselves

    ...but every boy should play Robot Unicorn Attack. (I can only hope that one day the Pandora or its successor will have the flash compatibility and raw power required to handle the rainbows and dolphin physics of this game)

    Fellow Pre-Orderers: Reveal Yourselves

    Here's my massive picspam, with commentary: I bring hula hoops to volunteer-run hotel Sci-Fi conventions on the eastern seaboard of the US. It's a fun way to pass time between interesting panels and getting megadrunk'd at the room parties. This one's two and change years old, but I like...

    Ce Certification Now Invalid?

    Dude, how could you forget accelerometer and rumble? Otherwise, we can't emulate Yoshi Topsy-Turvy or Drill Dozer! (seriously though: Drill Dozer, great game, go play it now)

    New Blog Post!

    Breaking out those first thousand feels like it'd be pretty symbolically substantial, enough that I think that people 1001 and up would feel a bit more secure about their order if they knew that the first orders were going out, even if the later ones were getting silkscreened. Is it not...

    Ce Certification Now Invalid?

    I agree that additional certification is worth any amount of added delay.

    New Blog Post!

    Just a minor thing: Arora doesn't use Firefox's rendering engine. It uses Qt's html rendering engine, which is Webkit, the one used by Midori, Safari, Google Chrome, Epiphany, and optionally Konqueror. It does seem quite good, though the build that I installed at home and at work both seem to...

    Unnecesary Keyboard

    I say throw another keyboard there. We'll use the speaker output to guess what X11 is trying to tell us.

    New Blog Post!

    You can pretty put any of the open source web browsers on there onto the Pandora. Arora just happens to be the leanest of the lot that still supports all the typical modern features (tabs, session management, ad blocking, find-as-you-type, and so on). The software side isn't an issue here...

    Why Can't The Pandora Emulate The Ps2?

    I think the behind the scenes rationale was that leaving in PS2 compatibility might give third party developers incentive to keep producing PS2 games, which would slow down adoption of the PS3. The real question is whether they put backwards compatibility for the PS3 in the PS4. The processor...

    Ed's Upcoming Blog Post

    There's a running contest between whether I'll get my Pandora or find a house to buy first. Both keep alternately slipping. I still don't know who's going to win, but I am going to the local building department to check out a hopeful property this coming lunch break. It's interesting how the...

    Unnecesary Keyboard

    Count me in as one of the people who would NOT have ordered if there weren't a keyboard. I specifically plunked down the money because it's a small, full-featured touchscreen computer which can fit in my pocket without danger to the screen. Clamshell, touchscreen, keyboard, networking, easy to...

    I Wonder If This Is The Problem With The Pandora

    Do You Use A Gnu/linux Distro On Your Main Computer?

    This typo is awesome because "It's everywhere you want to be" and "Where do you want to go today" play off each other so nicely. :) I'm using opensuse at the moment. There are a very large variety of reasons why I'm using Linux, though the main ones would probably be a far higher level of ui...

    Silkscreening

    ...you can disable sigs? :o You can disable sigs! :o :o :o *disables sigs* :D :D :D This is the feeling that I expect to get when my Pandora arrives!

    Microsoft Exchange

    If java is working well on the pandora, then it is possible that this could help: http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ It is a translator that acts as a server on your machine and allows you to use normal mail/groupware protocols (pop/imap/smtp/caldav/ldap) to access an Exchange Server. They offer...
