    Media Reports

    Maybe they read all your "estimates" during the 14 months you hold on to other people's money, and take this estimate with the necessary mountain of salt? You know, just like anyone else here, that a finished Pandora won't ship this year. After testing the 105 boards you decided on some...

    Smaller Batteries?

    What is the weight of the battery? I do not see this information anywhere. I estimate it at about 150g, but hard data will be nice to have.

    Thrill And Suspense : New Blog From Ed

    "Suspend to disk" is easy, but not necessarily very useful here. What discussed here is "Suspend to RAM". This is actually a very board specific action. In addition to the generic Linux stuff, which is supported, you need to put the DRAM into auto refresh mode and power down everything (CPU...

    Thrill And Suspense : New Blog From Ed

    At least now we can stop hoping that the Pandora ships in 2009 and start hoping that it ships in 2010.

    Smartq V7 Vs Pandora

    SmartQ7 has a GPU. There are 2D drivers for Linux, but no 3D yet. The information for writing such a driver is available, though.

    How Legal Is The Pandora?

    There are free ZX Spectrum emulators. Some of them will surely work on the Pandora (FUSE, for example). The ROMs needed for them to run are legal to distribute: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/permits/amstrad-roms.txt A lot of Spectrum games are also legal to distribute...

    I Think I've Went Insane.

    It should also be in large, friendly letters, and those letters do not look friendly at all.

    What are the odds for 'almost seeing' an 'almost finished' Pandora?

    Someone Kill Me Now

    So when "early next week" passes, and no samples arrive, can we stop waiting "a bit"? Do you recall that only 7 weeks ago they were still hoping to get them before some "chineses holiday" at the start of October? Do you recall that a mere week before the end of October craigix talked about...

    Countdown To Production Unit Showcase 7 Day(S)

    Are the PCBs finished as in "already in the plant that will populate them" or as in "two weeks ago the company that makes the PCBs told us it would take about two weeks and we did not hear from them since"?

    When Is The Real Release Date...

    The problem is not with copyrights, but with patents. vlc and mplayer are clear as far as copyrights go - they were released as free software by their authors. The problem is with patents - a lot of the compressed video and audio formats are patented. Unlike copyright, where if you write...

    Another 8000 Nubs To Go.

    Let's hope that anyone who wants a 1st batch Pandora is not going to wait that long from now.

    Will The Pandora Be Able To Run Flash Games?

    Try playing the game with gnash or swfdec. If any of them works, the game will probably work on Pandora as well (except if it requires too much CPU power, which should be rare for flash games). If it requires adobe flash, it will probably not work. There is no guarantee, or aeven a good reason...

    Pandora Act As A Virtual Drive Over Usb

    g_file_storage module that is used for emulating a mass storage device gets as an input the file that should be presented to the host, so it should be easy to implement (only a front end needed for selecting file and doing rmmod/insmod with correct parameters). If you also add the cdrom=1...

    Pandora Accessories At Gbax Shop

    I would like to see a 1300mAh battery. I think that such a battery will have enough work time for most of my needs, while reducing the Pandora's weight, making it more suitable to one hand operations such as reading (eBooks, web pages, mail, etc.)

    Will It Be Posible To Boot From Usb Like A In Netbooks?

    If you must boot from USB, and do not wish to do the necessary development work, there is always Mobiadapter: http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/mobidapter.php

    Will It Be Posible To Boot From Usb Like A In Netbooks?

    Actually USB is much harder than SD. U-boot does support USB host, but not on the OMAP3, so it is not currently possible. Until support is added, the other option is kexec.

    I Want One, But.....

    There are actually quite a few more ROMs than 4 (or 14), but certainly nothing close to 15000. See here for some: http://www.shadowmagic.org.uk/spectrum/roms.html And the 10 games you mentioned, here: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/int2roms/

    Is It Possible To Use Skype On Pandora?

    Skype is not in the firmware. The firmware comes with an "install skype" menu option that runs apt-get and installs skype from a Nokia (password protected) repository. Note that this skype binary is hildonized, so you will need a lot of the tablet's OS to get it to work. I guess the best chance...
