Several people have mentioned that there will be FPS to spare on day one, and in general I think we have a lot of programming talent. The money should probably be spent on games that would get us other resources that are not so easily duplicated or cloned: 3D artwork, expansive storylines...

Is anyone familiar with the old Sharp Telios 7000 (aka the Intermec 6651)? It was an old Windows HPC, and had a screen that folded all the way around. Anyone know how the hinge on that one worked? I have not been able to get a good look at the hinge from the pics I have found online. beljam

Bit of a problem, there... There is no zero in orange on the keyboard, as far as I can see. If you lock Fn2 to use a calculator, you need to unlock to enter '0'? :huh: That should make for lots of inconvenient key presses, or some interesting approximations. :twisted: beljam

Count mine as a vote for "Don't want one", but would have voted for "Wait and see" if it were an option.

Would that be Pubuntu? Or Panbuntu? jam

Hmmm... Are you asking if this is the first game console combined with a computer, or the first one to be portable? You include portable in the criteria, but mention a desktop... If you leave off the portable requirement, you could certainly argue about the the early Atari (400 & 800)...

Take a look at the DigiFriends MID: http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/hands-o...ends-wibro-mid/ It can be used as a tablet, but add-ons turn it into a clamshell. Several add-ons are available, including an extended battery, keyboard, and a gamepad. jam

I don't think the problem is all that serious. Given all the other advantages of the Pandora, is the placement of two keys really a make it or break it proposition? One layout would be notably easier for me than the other, and I have voted that way, but the difference is not so great that I am...

Since just a few posts above you, MilanC expressed need to use Ctrl+Alt with a function key, how would that work with this layout? Once you hold both shoulders to get Ctrl+Alt, you have no way to access the Function keys. My own concern would be how you get a Cap Lock on this keyboard? Also...

From a modder's standpoint, I can see how this would be attractive. But think about the intent of the Pandora. On a device that is designed to be portable, perhaps even pocketable, this would increase the size on the chance you need to have always-connected USB peripherals. To some extent...

Shogo did come out for Linux, but also closed source. Hyperion did the port -- for both intel and PPC CPUs... they also did the Amiga port, so they don't seem to mind niche markets... Wonder if they could be talked into doing a Pandora port? May have to write to them. jam P.S. I just...

Bean is a nice, lean, open source word processor. I use it because it is not overloaded with features and toolbars I don't need. Unfortunately, I think it depends on OS X for the built-in dictionary and some other cocoa infrastructure, so even though it is open source, I don't think it would...
