I've been out of the loop for a while... preordered a Pandora which I never received and haven't seen any emails in a while. Are you saying you're still building them? Are these for the pre-orderers or new purchases?

Craig: I appreciate seeing updates here... I sincerely hope you and ED can sort out all misunderstandings and move forward.  I was impressed with the goals of this project from the start, and it's amazing that it resulted in real devices (even if just a trickle of them).  Unfortunately, my...

Can you share what your queue position was?

When I used to carry a Palm device, and later a Sharp Zaurus, I tried a bunch of different pen-sized stylus & stylus combo devices. My absolute favorite for price / feel / features was the Sanford (now Papermate) PhD Multi. Now days, you can still find them in stores, but usually with two...

Yes! I hadn't thought of that in years... CGA game, side-scrolling, really fun, except I could never win... a nuke would go off and kill me every time. I'm sure its requirements were such that it could run on DOSBox on the Pandora with ease... w00t! Oh weird... when I look for screenshots, I...

Whoa! That's the first I've seen of this scraper by Alec... Can someone direct me to his ID here, or PM me an email, or straight to the point, show me the source code of the scraper? I'd love to adapt it for my Pandora news page on my Netvibes. (currently just a lot of RSS subscriptions)

really really really hopes for Pandoras to ship soon.

really really really hopes for Pandoras to ship soon.

From all the news I've been following, I've heard very very little about the LCD displays... I'm guessing they would ship from manufacturer / distributor straight to the build facility Craig is working on, but I haven't seen them mentioned in terms of ordered / ready / etc... so my hope is...

Upon reading the OS update, I felt not even a slight twinge of concern regarding what the device will be like out-of-the-box. Why? Because I own other devices that rely heavily on open documentation and enthusiast communities: The Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 - Sharp pretty much stopped developing...

And in case that app discriminates based on OS version, etc... there is a Python Bluetooth GPS passthrough thing as well, which should work on most Nokias with the features. Here's a couple links: http://gagravarr.org/code/ http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/134849.html

You rock! I've actually been using my Zipit Z2 to play old Scott Adams games that I remember from my Apple ][+... and a while back I was doing the same on my Zaurus. I'm glad someone's working on taking advantage of the UI space on the Pandora for this purpose... At 320x240 on the Zipit...

For benchmarking purposes, I can say that I've run Starcraft on a Toshiba Libretto, clocked as a 100MHz Pentium, and it ran fine in single player, and lagged the whole game for everyone in an 8 person multiplayer. For multiplayer, I was using a 16-bit PCMCIA Ethernet adapter (no 32-bit support...

Your Nokia 5220 supports the Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking profile... unless it is disabled through carrier software branding. If you have a data plan through your wireless carrier, you are pretty much good to go. You may need to explore your phone settings to link your specific GPRS connection...

I'd want the features of the Zipit Z2... which retails at $50. :D That said, it is *not* optimized or intended for gaming, but after putting on a recent Debian image for it, and using its acceptable d-pad, you can play GB/GBC, NES, Doom, ScummVM, and more pretty well. I've seen screenshots...

And here's Craigix's, for good measure: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/19534812.rss

Another way this would be very useful: if nub-as-mouse input is developed/enabled, moving the mouse cursor faster based on the extremity of nub tilt would be very helpful!

If it's the interface that puts you off... there's the RSS feed: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/108433145.rss

Glad to help! Another plus with a Linux / ARM device like the Zipit is that any useful little scripts you write and any awesome apps you discover and get used to... those will run and run equal to or better on the Pandora when it arrives... The Pandora's features are a pure superset of the...
