    Pandora Hardware Capable Of Opengl (not Es)?

    Obviously, the cake is a lie. (Pandora Portal port confirmed) (...lol)

    Handheld Resolution Comparison

    Firefox's "Web Developer Toolbar" extension is a little like that. In the "Miscellaneous" menu there are options such as "Linearize Page" and "Small Screen Rendering". The former will solve many of the width issues but will not autoshrink images and applets, while the latter makes things...

    Remote Desktop Application For The Pandora

    When I had a Visor Prism (the first colour PalmOS device), I used PalmVNC to play Civ over the Internet. It was pretty nasty, but I've used VNC from PC to PC enough that I understand that the Prism was fairly limited by its processor (5.5% the frequency of, say the Pandora's, likely also having...

    Atari Jaguar Emu

    I would like to see an emulator so I can do my own compare and contrast on that. It seems to be more powerful than other systems of the time, but AVGN just put up a fairly scathing review (well, I guess he doesn't really put up any other kind, does he?) at Screwattack which specifically...

    Ram Upgrade In Pandora

    I have an old Pentium 266 laptop at home. KDE 3.x (I think it was 3.2) worked without going into swap (just) with 96MB RAM, and I think it even worked (horribly) with 48MB RAM. I would have loved 512MB RAM, but the jump up to 256MB was enough to move me from "eventual get depending on end-user...

    Keeping My Order

    There're a couple more to add to the standardized list: The aforementioned -lasts ("many"?) hours longer as well as -runs more quietly -Can't accidentally install Windows Vista on it (just joking around on that last one) I've been looking around for a Forum or newsgroup that discusses this...

    Out Of The Box

    Interesting. I was under the impression that it would be legally okay to distribute media players so long as the nonfree codecs themselves aren't included with the distribution. Anyway, just quickly pointing out my recollection that there are some codecs that are (or were at some point) win32...

    Two Bookmarklets To Help With The Forum Bugs

    Wouldn't it perhaps be better to have it change the quote character (') to its ampersand code (')?

    Pandora + Controller

    Since Pandora already is a dual analog controller, and since generic USB controllers already tend to have the general Dual Shock style layout, I'm backing the idea of getting the Wii Remote drivers working. For some bizarre reason, right now I'm relishing the idea of duct taping a remote to the...

    Thinking About Cancelling My Order

    If you paid by bank transfer, are you still out the transfer charge? If so, you might want to look for people in your general region who might want one. Look up your local LUG ("Linux User Group") and see if any of them are interested. You could charge somewhere between the base price and...

    Anyone Else Here Losing Interest?

    My enthusiasm waned a little when I actually got my order confirmation, because that put me (mostly) past the "Is it even gettable!?" stage. Every few days, I would read a new thread here, spontaneously start bouncing in my seat, and softly say "gimmegimmegimme!" like a child. I'm less like...

    Linux Wall-wart

    I'm pretty sure that this it not *entirely* accurate. I originally read that Marvell was offering the devkit for $99 and will be selling the product for $50 *in bulk*. As in "For those that do wish to build products on the platform, volume pricing could fall to $50, Marvell expects" (from...

    World Of Goo Linux Version Available

    World of Goo is one of the first games I'd get for WiiWare when I finally start doing so (I have a backlog of disc games and a couple VC games to go through first, and I'm slow). But if it became available for the Pandora, I'd be one of those to opt for a similarly priced, similarly featured...

    So What Are The Musts For You?

    I'm down with this post. I shell into a persistent screen session so I can run cone from home and various important work apps at work. I'd like to have X11 forwarding (over ssh), but that's not a dealbreaker. It'd be nice if my Zaurus's Hancom Office binaries worked copied straight over...

    Esc

    I remapped screen's primary key to backtick. It's much healthier for the hands (I have RSI so I have to be vigilant about that), and it's very rarely used by other applications. The only rub is that I can't seem to get it to do the "go to the last active screen" function that you normally do...

    Atom Vs Pandora

    Darnit, I missed out on the preordering, and I want to order as soon as it gets to my spot in the maillist queue. I vote no sending out to big techhead sites until after I have my spot secured. :P That said it probably really should go to him and similar folk after the original preorderers...

    Newbie Help For Creating First App

    First off, Java is really, really popular for small devices like this. I don't know if it's supported on the Pandora off the bat (support was pretty horrible on the Sharp Zaurus, which also used ARM, but that was half a decade ago), but the ARM people do claim...

    Exchange Syncronization?

    I just checked it out. With the switcher turned off, it goes down to as narrow as 800px and as short as 319px. Switch off the toolbar and the status bar and the height goes down to 235px. Hit CTRL+M to toggle off the message preview pane, and you're down to 168px height. Message window is...

    Win 2k?

    It's not the same animal at all, but this thread has raised my interest in seeing how feasible win2k or (more likely, due to memory constraints) win9x would be virtualized on a Pandora. QEMU seems to already support ARM to a degree (it's listed as "Testing").
