    David Cameron Is Now Prime Minister

    Look at Birmingham city council for a Lib Dem-Tory coalition doing a generally good job. I'm just hoping that we'll not go to the extremes that both conservative and labour have put the country through and maybe we'll get good common sense government with unknown things like compromise. Let's...

    Psx Rom Format

    I looked through old threads to see if eboot files were going to be supported and there was something about it being considered a while back. Would be really useful to save on space if we could use compressed files. Is there any news on eboot support?

    You can install joikuspot on the n900 for mobile hotspot and there's a small file you can download called gainroot which gives root access. No need to mess around downloading custom firmware +1 to Maemo!

    Armageddon?

    Pandora resolution not high enough?! Worms looks good and plays fairly well on ipod touch and that's only half the resolution

    I can run OpenOffice 3 on it and a full LXDE desktop as an example I also like feeling that the device is 'mine' and i can mess around with it - Nokia seems a lot more open with how you use your device (got a thing about google having too much access to information) I think it complements the...

    I'd say that the Maemo OS is a lot more flexible than Android. It's basically a full Debian linux system rather than being based on the Linux kernel and using a Java virtual machine. The n900 is fantastic for hacking around with and there is a lot of free software you can get through...

    I'm wanting the Pandora for the games side of things so using n900 just makes me want the Pandora even more! The n900 is fantastic for checking out webpages wherever you are through 3G - was traveling on train last night checking out the football scores and a couple of other websites. The...

    I love my n900 but do have to say it's not the best for playing games on - was playing mario on the SNES emulator last night and found it a bit of a challenge with a tiny keyboard. It's brilliant for scummvm though and accelerometer games will be good (download Bounce for a really good demo of...

    Meego On Pandora?

    I have an n900 and check the maemotalk forums quite often. One of the members is Nokia staff and he was saying that Meego is effectively a replacement for Maemo that's designed to run on Intel and ARM chips

    Ioquake3 Working

    I've played this on my N900 and it looks great and moves very smoothly. The control scheme is that you use the accelerometer to move and the touchscreen to aim and then press a key to fire, which is awkward but fun for five minutes and then you start wanting to play it on Pandora with proper...

    Mobile Firefox

    I've just got my Nokia N900 and am impressed with how powerful it is, which shows good signs for what we can do with the Pandora. I've downloaded mobile Firefox RC2 which runs really well and was thinking that as it is fairly close to release would it be able to be included in the Pandora...

    Negotiations With Chinese Factory

    I didn't mean about changing the mould company and I like the attitude of getting the best possible quality so I don't mind waiting. Just wondered if in future Open Pandora could get a better deal with the same company but maybe the level of quality just takes much longer and there are always...

    Negotiations With Chinese Factory

    Is the contract with the Chinese mould company able to be re-negotiated or can Open Pandora ask for any refunds on money paid? Were any timescales laid out in the original contract? It's just that we don't know any real details and I appreciate that the team may not know much more...

    The Pandora Os

    Thanks, I wasn't aware there was a difference between the desktop environment and the Window Manager. I'm a Windows/Mac tech so I could understand it fine if i got around to using it. Pandora is my chance to really learn Linux!

    The Pandora Os

    damn, you all post too quick! ;) by the time i've posted there's already some answers I need to know more about Linux - I guess you can run any window manager on any distribution...what confused me a bit earlier when looking something up was that someone was talking of using Matchbox or XFCE on...

    The Pandora Os

    That's the good thing that there will choices for what you can run on the Pandora. I liked having that choice on the Nokia n810. Just wondered what EDs and the OP teams plans are for developing the OS in the future? I know it's probably a huge amount of work to produce your own linux distro...

    The Pandora Os

    Wanted to ask ED how he was planning to develop the Pandora OS. Is it always going to be a customised Angstrom Linux with a desktop environment or are there any plans to produce something in the long-term like Maemo or Ubuntu Mobile that's designed specifically for the Pandora. It's cool to...

    What Should The Pandora App Store Be Named?

    What about the PAPP store (or if it's no good then the Common Repositry for Applications & Programs!)?
