    Pandora -or- Netbook : Problem Solved

    I've been dithering for ages, wondering whether a Pandora or a netbook was next on the list for my gadget buying. I was thinking of maybe buying a £400+ tablet netbook (Vye or Koji), but in the end opted for the 'free netbook' deal with mobile broadband here in the UK. PC World are offering...

    The Pandora Photos!

    I am so going to get one of these and sit on the train, and just make people think I'm a giant, playing with a standard size laptop.... M

    Sold!

    It was having a wifie that killed it for me, as my wifie was very insistent that I wasn't to buy any more gadgets!

    Blog Update!

    I've got a 605, and the screen is very clear. Mind you, on the standard web browsing as on the new video on the blog page, the text is way too small to read, so the Archos web browser (Opera) has a zoom function which increases the text size. Requires a bit of left/right scrolling at times, but...

    Few Thoughts On Archos605

    I've made a few contributions to the Pandora discussion, notably my not being too happy with the form factor. Having had a Tapwave Zodiac for a couple of years, I was hoping for something similar to that, which has a nice form factor, with an option of plugging in a USB keyboard, and being able...

    Who Needs Buttons - Iphone Ps1 About To Launch

    Just seen an online vid of the v0.9 of a ps1 emulator for the touchscreen iphone/itouch ipd http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/150570.html Not entirely sure it's going to be properly playable, but its ingenious as hell!!!

    Pandora's Design

    I'd -love- for the Pandora to be virtually a UMPC, but's it's way too small for 'serious' use. I'm a touch typist and looking at the size of the machine, that keyboard is simply not going to be big enough for proper typing. The Pandora is about 50% the size it needs to be for it to be a...

    Pandora's Design

    I'd personally prefer to have options, rather than a piece of kit being all things to all people. So if people want four shoulder triggers etc, for a dog's bollocks gaming machine, then they shell out a bit of extra cash for the gamer cradle. If you want to use it as a laptop replacement, as...

    Commercial Games/mainstream?

    Yes, there would be a huge market for this, but I don't think Pandora will be reaching that market. I'm not sure that you -can- have one device that covers both pocket computing and gaming, and I think the Pandora design evidences this. It doesn't quite work as a gameplaying device, as plenty...

    Designs

    This is very much what I had been hoping for, and what I think you would have to have if you want the Pandora to go mainstream. As it currently stands, it just isn't going to attract the casual user, and will remain a niche product for the homebrew/dev community. And my concern, if you look at...

    Commercial Games/mainstream?

    This is an interesting area, not touched on in all the posts so far. At the moment there are a small group of people enthusing about a proposed piece of kit, which has got to the stage of speccing and so forth, by an even smaller group of dedicated enthusiasts. In order for Pandora to be a...

    Any Users Of Simcoupe Emulator Out There?

    It's hand-tooled Spectrum BASIC, painstakingly written over many many months back in the 80s! The original 48k version of the Speccie program was squeezed so tight that there were just a few free bytes left. The 128K version of Speccie flattered to deceive as its 128k wasn't all accessable a...

    Any Users Of Simcoupe Emulator Out There?

    Hi Anyone out there actually using ZX-81x SimCoupe emulator port? I've got the PC version of SimCoupe running AOK, and running the software I'm working on. But ideally I'd like to find someone willing to spend a few minutes to load my software to see how it looks : it's a text based program...

    Buy Or Wait

    I'm leaning towards the GP2X as it does several things on the one device, and i think that's going to suit me best. The wife's just back from shopping and bought a pair of nice (ie not cheap) boots, so the wind is in my sails for the moment. Mind you, from doing a bit of researching, the...

    Buy Or Wait

    Chums I'm of a mind to thumb a nose at Mac and their iPod, Sony and their PsP, and Palm and their LifeDrive, all of whose products have been competing for my money. I know I'm not going to get something that necessarily works straight out of the box in every respect, and I know enough about...

    Gp2x User Guide Announced

    <_< - reading ebooks Any chance of a preview of this? I'm pondering buying a GP2X as I want something that goes old games/mp3/vids/ but also quite importantly is an ebook reader, and I haven't seen much on the forums or on the websites about ebooks.
