    Pandora 2, A Year Or So From Now?

    I mean, I think a year is solid, because there's still the prospect of overclocking, which I remember reading about when the device was in its infancy.

    Pandora 2, A Year Or So From Now?

    An OMAP4 drop-in would probably be best, if for no other reason than the aforementioned compatibility. Anything less than a year seems wrong, but 3-5 for what's essentially an entirely internal replacement is a bit much. I'm also not sure we need a laundry list of improvements. FFS, it already...

    Pandora 2, A Year Or So From Now?

    Even the first Tegra 2 devices aren't due (AFAIK) 'till May/June. Six months? Of course that's way too early. But a year (or maybe a smidgen longer, for Tegra 3)? For the homebrew-backed portable market, there could easily be another device from another maker by then. Personally, I'd rather pick...

    Pandora 2, A Year Or So From Now?

    (EDIT NOTE: CRAP. My bad for not adding "SPECULATION/QUESTION/HOPE" to the topic name. I personally abhor topics that are titled like this, implying new information, when it's just the above three. Once again, I am sorry.) Is there any chance that, a year or so from now, we might see an update...

    New Ti-Openmax 0.4.1

    Okay, so in THEORY, as someone who doesn't own a device (obviously, or I'd be reporting, not asking ;), this is how it's supposed to work. GStreamer is essentially supposed to be the "lego" of video/audio playback frameworks. Every single piece is a plug, from the video to the audio to the...

    New Ti-Openmax 0.4.1

    I'm not sure if this is old news, but on the 31st of August Texas Instruments released version 0.4.1 of ti-openmax (link). This adds H.264 support. Has anyone with a dev board or test box tried this build yet?

    Running Anime 720 Mkvs?

    As far as I know, there's no h.264/mkv playing app available that uses the DSP yet. Embinux's Android port should support H.264 up to 720p, but currently only works in a 3GP container. ti_openmax-enhanced Gstreamer apps should support MKV and 720p just fine, but currently ti_openmax is in...

    Pandroid - Android On Pandora

    Sorry guy, I think he meant "Donut will have native support to use C/C++ in any remotely meaningful capacity". In other words, apps on the marketplace, where 98% of users will get programs they can actually run, will be capable of being NDK-enhanced when Donut arrives. Until then, doing so...

    Pandroid - Android On Pandora

    Once again, I'd rather dredge up an old topic than make a new one, but as anyone with a dev board tried the Embinux Android image?: http://labs.embinux.org/index.php/Main_Page http://www.embinux.com/download_beagle.php In 2008 Android didn't look all that attractive, but at this point there's...

    1080P Possible?

    Sorry, I didn't know we were there already. I haven't found much info, and the closest thing I could find was progress on the gstreamer-omap project, which wasn't too far. How much does ti-openmax 0.3 cover?

    1080P Possible?

    Of course, there's also the matter of outright RAM usage, and at 6.22 megs per frame, an 8-reference-frame film is going to actively take up 50 megs, eating quite heavily into the Pandora's usable memory. All that effort and for what? So that a few Beagle Board mini-boxes with HDMI outputs can...

    Always Innovating Touch Book Specs And Release Date Announced

    I know this topic is a little old, but I'd rather not start a new one. I think the more OMAP3 devices on the market, the better. The more netbooks, tablets, and portable gaming devices on OMAP, the more development support we'll see, if only because there's a higher chance of competent coders...

    1080P Possible?

    Surely this sounds like "Can the Pandora emulate PS2?!", but how unlikely is it, really? The C64 can decode H.264 up to 720p, so between that, the remaining 70-85% of CPU (maybe a hint of over-clocking?), and a universal-shader-equipped GPU, does it even lie in the realm of possibility that an...

    Video Format Capabilities?

    Well, that's good enough answer fer now ^_^ I guess the more important question will be if the FFMPEG libraries that mplayer/vlc use will be optimized for the OMAP or if the Pandora will get a custom media player to use its features. I'm really hoping on the former, as that's more likely to get...

    Video Format Capabilities?

    I'm just curious as to how capable the Pandora will be as far as video playback capabilities are concerned. I'm sure it'll start with mplayer but eventually, will the video processing capabilities of the chip be fully exploited? Will it be capable of 720x480 H.264 MKV Dual-Audio + Subtitles...
