    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE that's not quite right. The big ones keep the small ones down. That is the reason and not the inability of the small companies If that would have been true, companies like Google, Facebook, Youtube and many others would never have grown to their current size. You can get money from an...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE Sorry to tell you, but Pandora is unlikely to run any version of it. Why so? At least some open source should run tho: pigdin, meebo etc QUOTE We've got devs who try to build the best tool possible, and users who are wanting to use that tool. What would be gained by diluting either end...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE I hope that other potential startups learn from this project rather than the big industry that spends half of the time with killing jobs, anyway. Trust the small and medium companies and ignore the industry, it's better for us all. I totally agree. Sometimes working in a big company is a...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    thanks for kind answer I understand your point, It is a product designed to be the way it's users dream it. If it becomes very popular, there is a lot of chance to become even more sucessful. When a lot of people will have a chance to get a Pandora, at least a part of them would become the users...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    Ok but what you will tell to your friends that will wish to have a Pandora? "Sorry this is for a small number of people that want to stay far from popular things" ? Will the developers have to make Pandora in small numbers, just to keep people like you feel unique? I think that's not a very good...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE Faster how exactly, the Pandora is based around the OMAP3, change this and you no longer have a Pandora 1, but a new device. We already (to my knowledge, can't be arsed to check) have the best OMAP3 processor on the market. Cheaper = either mass production (I'll come onto this issue in a...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE emulation focus, lack of complete keyboard, not-x86, no dedicated commercial games, no biggy cpny behind... But who knows? I know people who bought a netbook to use it just for messenger. And frankly, what do you think, from all the netbook users, how many of them you think they use the...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE what i think that could be useful: an investor which only gave the money and freedom to the team do whatever they want with it, so the team themselves can handle patents, parts, personell and etc.. Exactly ! That is what Google did to become the giant is today: they got money from...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE Ask yourself if it would have been the same with a big company behind. (The answer is NO ) I agree. So the big companies should watch and learn a bit (in fact more then just a little bit). They must learn that it's possible to make money this way too. They must learn that investing in...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE but it would be a bit disrespectful to the Pandora devs, whom, for the amount of work they have put in, should be rewarded financially. No profit on the 1st batch so profits (hopefully) from 2nd batch onwards. Well, from a user point of view, does not matter too much who makes it. But...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    QUOTE Back to the main topic, if some company made a cheaper Pandora-clone that was compatible with the software base, who would benefit, who would lose out? Both the company and the consumers will benefit. The ones that will loose would be those that would stay out of the business. It's just...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    So, are the Pandora developers dedicated to make a product for an elite of initiates, Linux guru kernel hackers or what? If CandidStan and others can't stand to talk with miserable worms like usual PC users, they can just ignore the noobs, or can even make a special Pandora forum, dedicated to...

    Big Companies Should Invest In Pandora-like Projects?

    When a big company starts making a product, the developement is faster and prices can be cheaper. This is how netbooks apeared, when ASUS decided to make one. Then the others followed. If a big company (for example TI) would invest in Pandora, then: - It can be developed faster - better prices -...

    VGA out?

    Why would it take 5 years for Pandora II ? It seems like a lot of time.
