I hope NTFS will also be supported without too much hacking. Ideally it will be built into the base distribution. FAT32 drives me nuts with the 4GB file size limitation that it has. I capture HD programming OTA with MythTV and when I travel I like to take a few unwatched files with me. 1...

This is pretty awesome. I was wondering if MythTV would be an option on the Pandora. And wow, it looks like it is! I was wondering now that WiFi issues have been resolved, does this mean the built-in WiFi will be able to handle MythTV streams. I am happy to do heavy testing and provide...

I've read a good chunk of this thread, and I have to say, wow, folks are getting extremely sensitive about something being proposed that is cool. I would, however, like to make a bit of a counterpoint to this whole argument that it is unfair folks are jumping to queue vs. folks that have been...

Sigh. Maybe you should get the dunce cap that Bart gets to wear all the time. Coles note summary: If large companies use one vendor to produce a major product, how the heck can you expect a very small operation like OP to have multiple sources for supplies? It makes no economic sense. It...

Good grief, it is not amateurish to use one supplier. It is good business sense. Unless you want to call Apple amateurish for using single suppliers for some of their most popular products? Heck, every major tech company typically produces a specific product with one vendor. They only spread...

I've been using http://alec.mooo.com/lol/cxs.php to keep track on how things are going with the Pandora. I'm having problems getting to the site, either getting connection refused or I get a website that is 5+ hours out of date. Anyone else having problems going to this site? I miss it as I...

Lots of companies could go after ARM. And it does not have to be licensee... just a company interested in owning the IP. Heck, here is a random list of tech companies for you that could easily finance this purchase. LG Samsung Sony Microsoft Intel (Intel could crush any bid by Apple by barely...

Looking at the pictures... to me it looks like they painted the grey sample's gaming controllers and button the matching grey. It might be the lighting, but the colours look mighty close to the case. I suppose it makes sense the paint those parts to match the case colour? I would like to...

I wonder what revision of board went through the CE testing? Was it the board with the defect or the previous generation without the defect? If the latter, than the repairs being done are just making the board the same as the board that passed CE. Lots of testing labs are certified to test...

The tipping point for me is the still active thread saying the 2nd batch (the next 1000-4000 made) should use the 720 OMAP instead of the 600. It just irked me to see this discussion again - and that request has occurred several times. And don't even get me going about the Pandora is...

In no way was my comment censorship whatsoever - it was an expression of my opinion. And based on your response, it seems you have trouble with my opinion. Using your twisted logic on what is censorship, your comment can be construed as censorship of my views. (Which it ain't, you have an...

I clearly said the price will be less in a year and I stand by that statement. As well, the price variation you are talking about is about currency fluctuation not material costs. To remove currency fluctuation from a product you either hedge the currency OR you sell the product in the...

Sigh. I have been reading this forum for a while and I'm just boggled by the requests that come through here on a regular basis. I must rant now. Please, please can people stop asking OP to make changes to the next batch of Pandora's? The design is pretty set in stone - over time there...

Uh, I seriously hope you realize this will happen over time right? The Pandora will in all likelihood be cheaper in 1 year than today. It happens with pretty all tech equipment out there. Over time the components will get cheaper as newer tech is developed pushing down the price of parts used...

Actually, I am fully aware that things have been paid for thank you very much. I've been here for quite a while just reading and I rarely post since this forum is unfortunately full of a lot of negativity. And I still stand by the "don't pay for" mantra - it can be still used. Assume the...

I disagree completely. The first 1000 will be a production run that will establish what is an acceptable product in fit and finish. Once you have that benchmark you can tell the factory that any units not meeting the quality of the first batch will not be accepted and, more importantly, not...

You have to be careful when talking about international orders. You typically have to pay duties and/or taxes to your government. For me, in Canada, the importer will have to collect GST and PST for my order. I think anything over $50 requires collection of this tax. So that is 5% and 8%...

Sheesh, does anyone remember how crap-didly-appy Apple iPhone OS 1.0 was in a lot of ways? Or the slew of problems with iPhone OS 2.0 (with a desperate need to go to 2.01 quickly). Even the iPhone OS 3.0 release had some issues for some folks. Apple has made the iPhone leaps and bounds nicer...

@lulzfish: You might not realize that "Seagate FreeAgent GO" external drives are powered with only one USB port. They draw less than 500ma on that one port and should be able to work fine plugged into the Pandora. So it does indeed qualify as a low-power device. I also double-checked in...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say testing one Pandora to some O/C level such as 800 is utterly useless statistically. You might by fluke test on a machine with a more robust chip that can handle the load, while the majority may not handle this fine. Or it might be indeed true every chip...
