good idea - not enough space for me though >.< would be great if i could get that HD to work - would it work with one of those powered hub things do u think?
aw no, it's not looking good T_T

Dear Grant,
Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support.
The drive is in need of 1000mA during boot up so I'm afraid that if the pandora only supplies 500mA it will not work.
If you have any...
what i was thinkin was just goin for the portability thing - even if i had to have the HD hooked up to mains, it will still make an exellent portable DVD player/Playstation/Hi-Fi etc when combined with the TV out on the Pandora... maybe even the occasional movie if ur close to ur destination...
cheers for taking the time to reply ^^ but what this support representative has to say changes things a little doesn't it?...
I contacted the WD helpdesk the other day with all the information I could muster up (Pandora specs/this forum thread lol) and I have just recieved a repsonse:
Dear...
hm... so im confused - are you guys saying the pandora definitely wont be able to power that WD drive at all? even if it like totally wipes out the battery, I could always attach the pandora to the mains, and still use the HD to watch movies and stuff... or will that not be possible?
OK, Im trying to get things ready for my pandora, think i've got my SD cards sorted - next is the external hard drive... Im finding it quite hard to find a HD with decent space (200GB and upwards) which isn't relitively big - I think I've found a pretty good, decently priced one here...
i'd love something like this! i think it'd be key to make it as small as possible - like u, i also think a strip thing some extra ports and stuff would also be really cool; instead of having to buy like a newer pandora model or something, we should just upgrade the current release - as the...
awesomonay! thanks for the info, gotta save this topic for when it comes out - how exactly do u compress the ISOs then - could u please link me to the program?
if thats the case, then we dont really have a choice lol - would be rediculous to spend that much more... is there anyway to compress PSX roms or something?
lol well the one in the pandora store is £70 - that's pretty good isn't it? if i can find one for a bit cheaper i'll probably stick with the 32GB ones (save me having to change cards (im want a lot of PSX games lol >.<))
wow, im glad to see an extra couple of pages added to this debate during my absence as i think it's an important one ^^
i've said all my points already, so i don't really have anything to add, apart from i really love your logo design think_tanker, maybe without the text though? i personally...
well there is, or the prototype would be the final design, but we've been told there are going to be a few minor changes. there could easily be a few little touches to greatly enhance it's appearace.. as i have no experience in building games consoles, i can't say how they'd go about it, hiring...
sry, this thread is moving to fast lol
like i said before, something that would make it unique, and recognisable; and like i said, something that does it justice - i dont really understand your problem with that notion?
thanks emcp, you really get what im saying ^^
thats a really good point as well... i showed my best friend the pandora yesturday, after going on about how awesome it is over the phone, and after he saw it he said that everything it could do was really cool, but he said it's look didn't do it...
Cheers for not putting words into my mouth guys <_< i never said i thought looks were more important than capabilities - quite the opposite in fact... all im saying is, don't skip on them all together. As i said in my first post, it's because i personally have no qualms with the hardware that...
alright, calm down <_< i haven't said anything negative, no need for a personal attack lol, i hardly brought your mother into it :wink:
I 100% agree with you Prometheus, function really does come before fashion - and Im guessing that the fact that the wiz is like 4th (if im correct) down...
