    Miscellaneous Pandora Questions

    I Have a zagg also, in TX. Not sure if i'll use it yet (pandy in the mail.) Also, have you programmed a lot? Visual Basic is a Microsoft language, it is most likely tied to x86 and windows, unless you're talking about a CLR version of it, in which case look up the Mono compatibility to see...

    Your pandora has been shipped

    What a surreal e-mail to wake up to... I'm still having trouble believing this isn't a dream. Someone pinch me? For the record I was told I was 850-950 in Craig's queue. Anyone know how long it'll take to ship to Texas? My apartment is going to hate me for the next few weeks as I stop in every...

    Could replacable OLED-screens be an option later on?

    I can tell a few major differences, at least with the sammy OLED's I've seen on phones: 1) blacks are ridiculously better. Run an android phone on an OLED next to an LCD and you'll see the difference 2) at least some OLED's use pentile and it looks SHITTY. You can see dithering all over...

    Bounties, ports, software... How much.

    The problem with this is that 1) you force the dev to make a requirements that everyone agrees on 2) you take away his autonomy 3) he is tied to the original requirements and can't make changes that he wants 4) if the project fails he gets no money so you're basically turning it into a...

    Looking For Partners To Finish My Tablet

    Yeah I researched it and it sounds from the nvidia engineer's comments that I've read that they don't expect it to ever come to Tegra 2. Well 8 weeks is nice, and volumes would probably be pretty low - what parts do you not have finished yet? You have already elected which touchscreen / LCD...

    Looking For Partners To Finish My Tablet

    I mean if you wanted to build a device using them... could you purchase enough? it sounds like it's still in prototype and design stage. I mean it's all nice for them to promise performance but if you can't even buy the chips then what good is it? Re: openCL, isn't it essentially just a...

    Looking For Partners To Finish My Tablet

    I misunderstood you, the way you compared it to the dual core SoC's it soudned like you were discussing the processor architectures, not the GPUs. I don't really see the advantage then; won't Tegra have OpenCL soon? NVIDIA has done it on all their desktop GPUs already. And it doesn't seem...

    Looking For Partners To Finish My Tablet

    I guess the problem with this SoC then is that things must be written specifically to perform well on it; this is the same thing PS3 went through with Cell, except Cell has many millions of installed base and software for PS3 sells for $60 a pop - a mobile device like a Pandora 2 will not have...

    Need for high-level emulation

    Don't assume that generalities in emulator descriptions at all apply to a specific emulator. Some emulators are only possible with reasonable speed when using HLE. HLE is not a precursor for a failed emulator nor is it an approach that can be used in all cases. No one is going to HLE a NES...

    How to port applications

    Step 1: Be awesome Step 2: ???? Step 3: profit but seriously, if you don't have a lot of programming experience, it's going to be rather difficult to port stuff that doesn't just recompile on Pandora. Basically a port is just taking source and tweaking the os or architecture-dependent...

    ID Software

    ID Software is (probably) moving into the building I work in! That means -- John Carmack might actually see a pandora someday, if I'm riding up in the elevator with him. Wouldn't that be something? I'll be sure to have Doom 3 and Quake III loaded to show it off to him! In this thread: What...

    How long if I buy today?

    Hey Steve, Everything pushes the schedule. I don't know how much you've looked into this, so I'll give you a bit of an idea. I work in Dallas. I've been a professional programmer for 7 months now. I have a masters in Computer Science. When I ordered my Pandora, I was still a student...

    USB to VGA

    good luck w/ something like that from DX.... just hide the box when you make your insurance claim after it burns your house down!! I had a card reader from them catch fire one time. Filled my house with plasticky black smoke. They're cheap for cheap stuff but I wouldn't get a lot of things...

    You can get 32gb class 10's from Microcenter for $55, cheaper if you go class 6 or 4. The class 10 16 gig is $26, the others are even cheaper. I think now is the time to buy your flash. [edit] here's the $55 class 10 32gb...
