Here's a pic I took a while ago, with a N800 next to a standard pixel size 24" LCD monitor, showing pretty much a 1:1 pixel correlation.

Docking stations. (also with USB keyboard/mouse/external drive)

Aw, too few Lispers in here. :( It's one of the easiest language to implement, ridiculously configurable, and incredibly powerful with just a few simple basic building blocks. Are you talking about writing full games in this script, or just a sort of configuration/trigger sort of thing?

I own a N800, have used a N810, and the Pandora should beat them both out easily. The N810's keyboard sucks, and the slide-out makes the shoulder buttons very difficult to operate, since they slide behind the screen. Sure, Nokia used Linux, but they built up this whole weird stupid clunky...

Man, I wish somebody would have recommended Lua already, because it was purposefully designed to do exactly this. http://www.lua.org/ Or, you could just go with what everybody else is saying and use Lua.

Fillrates and such really don't map well between standard PC framebuffer filling, and the PowerVR tile rendering, which afaik can do hidden surface elimination at the polygon level instead of per-pixel. The SGX could theoretically get away with a much slower fillrate and still get equivalent...

Unless you have bad eyes, the given pixel density & size of the screen with normal sized fonts will not be a problem for legibility.

The N800 and 24" LCD showing the same content: link to full image: CODE http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs538&d=09152&f=img_2025938.jpg The handheld is touching the screen, so there should be no distance shrinking of consequence.

I browse the web on my N800, which is the same screen dimensions as the P&|a. Most every website is perfectly usable with no sideways scrolling. However, I'd love to have adblock plus on a handheld, since ads take so much bandwidth & memory.

I have an old Jornada 720, clamshell w/keyboard and a touchscreen. I never considered it to be an awkward touch interface, and it puzzles me that it's a concern that it would be. (however, I suspect the Pandora's keyboard won't be anywhere near as nice as the 720's)

This is totally reminiscent of the AOL "Me too!" phenomenon. Craig just said that....

I don't know much about FF plugins and addons, is something like Adblock Plus written in javascript and portable to other platforms? I'm dying to have that on a handheld. Ads are way too cumbersome on handhelds.

OP is not staffed by a bunch of business noobs. Give them some credit. Sheesh.

Implement both. Measure.

I'd say that cache usage and memory bandwidth would be far better utilized with independent bitmaps, than having to read a discontiguous block of RAM for each line of a subrect in a huge bitmap. So yeah, one surface per frame. Memory bandwidth tends to be a precious commodity especially on...

Wow, I didn't know we had a burqa smiley. ;)

Wait, so what's the Price of Prince of Persia on Pandora? ;)
