I wonder how feasible it is to hack into the projector's innards and overdrive the laser output? I don't know much about lasers but if the laser is able to handle higher power levels it should be a simple electrician's solder hack; no messing with chips or software. Also I would imagine that...

The rate we're going, it wouldn't surprise me if the second batch will end up being the Pandora2 with the cortexA9. I seem to recall it being mentioned that there is an obscenely long wait time before they can order more of a certain part for batch 2 (the chipsets?), and considering some...

Since we're on this subject again, I thought I would ask again: I really want to be able to use the Gjiten Japanese dictionary program on the Pandora, but it uses a lot of Gnome libraries and is mostly written for gnome. What are the consequences of using Gnome instead of xfce? Will it break...

Electronic dictionary. There are a few options that don't seem like too much work, I just hope a helpful dev can do all the work 'cause last time I tried to compile something Very Bad Things happened. :(

I definitely think that, since there are two nubs, one can be used as a trackpoint while the other is used for more finer manipulations. I did this a long time ago with RBJOY and a PSX dualshock. It worked pretty well.

Its wonderfully sunny here in Tokyo. I don't miss the Pacific North West (USA) at all :)

My theory? He was planted here by members of OP to give us something to keep our minds off of the delays. At least the little bugger is entertaining.

"more mhz" is a shoddy excuse to release new hardware. What of the functions the current Pandora handles would that improve? Productivity and general computing? Though I haven't handled it myself, it looks like it can browse the internet, word process, and (once Flash support is native) do...

Thanks for the suggestions! Many of those look like they will work just fine, sans kanji search function. Out of curiosity, if I really wanted gjiten (again, kanji search function is really useful), would I be able to just grab the libraries and run it in xfce? Or would I have to switch to...

There was a bit of discussion about this a month ago, but any attempt on my part to do some searching myself has ended up with nothing that I could understand, so: -What are some good dictionary programs that the Pandora will be able to run without any fuss? Specifically Japanese-English in my...

I would guess people who have an axe to grind before competetion, honestly. There are plenty of people with personal animosity towards the OP project from what I gather.

I seem to recall posts that suggest otherwise (for example, they didn't break even on the first batch). I think a more accurate statement would be that they're not in any CONSIDERABLE debt. :)

You're in luck so long as there is a linux-savvy person out there willing to set things up for those of us who aren't so capable: It runs linux, so the linux-based Japanese input method (anthy iirc) will be available, and as I remember, there was a build for gjiten (an excellent japanese...

I will agree that Linux has gone a long way towards general usability over the years, though I still think there is this large chasm for the mid-ranged computer users. If you stick within the point-and-click interface you can do just fine, and if you know the command line you are just peachy...

I imagine that, since there are very few programs that you will have to use package management software for, once you have your preferred programs and settings lined up, you can just create a backup image of the NAND. Then, down the line if it goes tits up, the backup will probably restore 90%...

I might as well be the first to ask: Will Craigix work on the Pandora?

I don't know about Brazil, but here in Japan an international money order did the trick; only about a $25 handling fee, too.

Welcome to IRC!

Yeah, like, one is a single-syllable word, the other is two syllables with a mash of consonants in the middle. :D Anyway, hope your insurance money was worth the arson scam, Craigix!

Tax is not a factor. If you're buying from the states, state tax doesn't factor because its not being sold from those states. If you're buying from the UK, the VAT is already factored into the price you pay.
