    Are The Keys (buttons) Rubber Of Plastic?

    When I learned to type they used typewriters (I know it dates me), and they all had blank keycaps to keep students from cheating. I imagine dvorack typists will know the layout from memory with only a couple of reference points to situate their fingers. After all if you are a hunt and peck...

    Post Here When Your Refund Clears

    I hear you and agree ;) I'm typing this on a laptop that cost around $5500 which I preordered last year and it was delayed etc and finally arrived two months later than when they finally billed me in full. If that didn't cause me to burst with anxiety I suppose $330 + some accessories prepaid...

    How About Wifi 802.11n Than 802.11b/g?

    Pandora can probably use 3g phone networks that use tiny usb dongles, I have a couple myself. One sprint and one alltel. the smaller of the two is the size of a thumb drive. Internal 3g would raise cost dramatically, lower battery life by a lot and most 3g cards in the us are locked to a...

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...

    There is no shortage of communication. The problem is really too much communication :lol: The people worrying about "Will I get the refund/reorder email" are getting anxiety worrying. If they had no idea that such an email was possible and then it showed up at sometime with simple easy to...

    Canceling Cc Orders

    They said that most, if not all, cc orders to gbax were being cancelled and the purchasers would get an email if that happened with details explaining how to renew their order if they chose to, the eta to completion of the emails was 1 week, so odds are good your order may cancel without your...

    Commercial Development

    Online drm 'might' be tolerable if it was a one time activation. I routinely use and buy software that requires me to activate online and "Allows deactivation online" so that I can deactivate a system and move MY software to another laptop etc and reactivate. What I would never tolerate on a...

    Boot From Other Device Possible?

    In that case could you make a SD boot disk that caused it to boot from an external usb device, something along the lines of grub maybe. Belthos.

    Why Fixed Price In Dollars?

    They are not raising the price. The international exchange rate isn't in the control of the open pandora team. Belthos. If it is in their hands then I want to talk to them about my 401k investments :D

    The Best Emulators...

    Did you try removing the sd card and booting without it? Maybe the card is corrupt and not the firmware. Belthos

    What Will Happen To All The Devs?

    Competition breeds excellence. Seriously the #1 problem facing devices like the gp2x, the wiz, and the pandora is the almost total lack of knowledge in the general population that such devices even exist. The more devices that are made the greater the public awareness and.... The more...

    Pre-order Problems

    Well, I think outraged is a bit harsh. It's a simple business transaction, as long as they are up front in telling you what to expect you can accept or decline. I'm sending an email asking that they trans-ship my order via tardis so that it will arrive the day before I ordered it, I'd have it...

    Less Then A Week Until Preorders And No Finished Pandora

    I suggest if you are wanting to see working models and videos of such that you buy the pandora the day after it comes out. This will absolutely insure there is one or two for me to pre-order. :P :D Seriously I'm checking this place daily for my fix on what new news there is, but frankly...

    Pandora's Emulators - What Will Work And What Won't

    I'm dating myself and this may have been mentioned but the computer games I most enjoyed when i was young were the infocom games. I'm certain something like Frotz or one of the infocom interpreters would run on this. I used to play them on an old hp95 since it had a keyboard. And pandora is...

    Hypothetical Situation: If 3000 Is All That Ever Get Made...

    They have already ported emulators, not polished i supposed but running for at least the amiga, ps1, and it will run linux out of the box. Compare it to the gizmondo which had and for all i know still has a rabid following with what I read was only 7000 units sold, this will do far better. Its...

    Blender On The Pandora

    Hello everyone. I registered just because I wished to reply to this topic. The pandora is a perfect example of what people can do if they set their minds to it. It is the amazing progress of a machine many people thought couldn't be made and probably should be considered pointless, personally...
