I vote for a delay. So much in fact, if you were going to release the first models with these tiny nubs, I would wait until the next model would be released, with proper nubs.

Yea, I would also like to express my concern for the nubs... I mean, there's not much that can be done, I guess, but they looked so slick in the preview videos, and that "in not so great news" bit doesn't help ease my concerns... :(

Try 30 cents per print.

Let's not forget about bluetooth! I hear that it should be quite easy to tunnel the 3g connection into the Pandora, load up a VoIP program, and there you go.

Hmm, I wonder. Since the Pandora now has Bluetooth capabilities, does anybody know of a simple bluetooth control module that could be used to wirelessly control MP3 playing? Ideally, something with all the control buttons (previous/rewind, play/pause, forward/next, maybe one for next...

Is this a Pandora launch title I smell?

I'm interested in the 3g cellphone->pandora hookup idea... Anybody have any currently existing examples (i.e. linux laptop and any given cellphone)? Can only certain models of cellphones pipe internet around, or is it restricted by carrier? Is it cost effective (like, do they charge $1 for every...

I imagine if a company wanted to go out of their way to release games for the Pandora, they could implement some sort of remote-checked serial key function. It's a lot of work, but with how small the Pandora's audience is, I doubt somebody would bother to crack it.

What about games that were released for multiple platforms? Would they, by definition, be easily portable, or is this a whole different can of worms to port from a commercial console/handheld to Pandora, regardless of whether it's been ported or not?

PANDORA! THE NEW E-DICTIONARY/SPREADSHEET/SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR! Oh yeah, it plays games too! You guys don't seem to 'get' what we are saying. Go ahead and believe what you will, though I'd be happy to argue the points further if you can keep a cool head. Anyway, in the interest of keeping...

First off, to everybody saying that nobody would buy this as an e-dictionary alone, you're right. Also, nobody would buy the P as only an MP3 player, or as only a web browser, or as only an emulation and video game platform. The main attraction is in it's ability to do ALL of that, so saying...

Of course, marketing it as ONLY an e-dictionary wouldn't be the best idea; same as it wouldn't be marketed as ONLY an mp3 player, or ONLY a umpc (though I could have been a bit more clearer on this point). My point is, that it probably couldn't hurt to put a bit of emphasis on the e-dict...

The uses I think my pandora will see the most are Gaming/Web browsing/mp3 playing/(if it's well done) jap-english dictionary-ing. Believe it or not there are quite a bit of language students, and the first thing they blow their money on (even before all the ridiculous travel agency costs) is an...

So has the possibility of marketing the Pandora as an e-dictionary ever come up? I know 'it's possible', like just about every other idea somebody might come up with in regards to the software, but what about a focus on it, making sure all major language dictionaries can be accessible (or at...

...Relative to the size of the project, of course. Is it the sort of thing that, if efficiency is not an issue on a small program (like with say, Gjiten, the jap-english dictionary app I use), somebody could jump in and port it over in a weekend? Or does it take more extensive knowledge of the...

I'm okay with 'hold pandora button' options, so long as there is a faster way to switch apps. It's a great way to force switch if you're in an emulator, and want to say look up something on a guide, but if I'm browsing while listening to music, then I run into a song on my playlist that I don't...

how about: CODE .Ω Σ α .β It's unique, and it uses symbols that everybody knows.

If you really want to go obscure gaming references, you could call it 'Mode' :) But in all seriousness, I'm all with start, select, and a Pandora button. Just give it a pandora logo and call it good.

So an idea struck me--how much power would the Pandora need if it were in Suspend to RAM mode? If it's not a whole lot (like, over 24 hours on a full charge), then maybe there could be a quick-boot mode. Something like this: You enter quick-boot mode, and a number of user-defined applications...
