QUOTE As far as controls for FPS go, I'd rather say a good dual analog control is of the essence. I can't see touch screen controls being used for FPS, the screen would probably break in no time at all. However as we know the device will have dual analog controllers I'm confident FPS controls...

FAT32 is a horrible idea beyond 32GB. It's a mess. On magnetic media it fragments far to easily. On flash media, you still have the problem that it runs like a tortoise in a molasses sea with data integrity issues. NTFS is compatible with Windows(which, for better or worse, most people have)...

Just to clarify, my vote for Slackware was purely tongue in cheek:P I'm in the camp that as long as it has FS drivers, a kernel and a simple interface for navigating either via the dpab or the touchpad, I'm happy. All this other nonsense and noise about KDE and Gnome and Ubuntu and Xp and...

Thanks to the voice of reason:) Leave the base device software simple. Kernel+simple frontend+necessary drivers for base hardware. All the other stuff can be added by those who wish to "hack" the handheld into something more PCish. If you know about KDE or Gnome, you know how to install the...

Video: practical on a handheld system. Watching shows on short trips is handy and the SOC is made for it. Text editor: borderline - but basic text editing could be useful for notes, etc... since a keyboard will be available. Also low on resources. Web browser: Personally, I find these...

*cough*Slackware*cough* Seriously, though, we just need the kernel and some of the drivers such as USB, network adaptor, touchscreen, and FS mounting. You don't need squat on a hand held console. Even for 'PDA functions' and the like. Leave the memory and clock cycles to the apps. And why...

A playable DOSbox running Space Quest 6.....oh my.....oh my yes.... *faint* I'm just eager as well to see the original things that'll be possible with this nice chunka hardware.

A boot to the head?

Edit: To expand on this idea a little. Most programs use some form of ini file for configuration. A plugin could be something as simple as an XML document used to identify which each line represents and could then say what values are valid for that field. For software that doesn't use ini files...

I second the power-through-usb thing. It would also help localization, since we all know we all don't all share the same power widgets:) But a 5V USB current is the same in London as in Halifax:)

Niiiiiiiice screen

That video made me....so.....happy *sniff*

Whew....for a second I thought I misread his post B)
