Yeah I tried a load of stuff. Oddly, the icons all show properly, so I assume it'll be a simple matter to get them running.

Hopefully.

Just Caanoo's (pre-production) samples for resellers, devs, and reliable reviewers/supporters

I'd love to see you do something cool with the analog stick.

Its kind of useless for FPS since it has to be used for movement. I wish they would have put a dpad on the left and the analog on the right. That combination has worked well on the pandora.

what do you think of the caanoo now you have it what are your overall thoughts of the device as a hardcore developer?

Well i only used it a bit last night so Ill let things set in for a bit and then maybe write up something more detailed.
From a development view though the caanoo isnt really exciting since its the wiz repackaged. The 128 mb has my interest as I think I can get quake2 with nanogl to run.
Gsensor/Vibration doesnt get me to excited.

yes but the screen is bigger better brighter clearer and the device itself feels better than wiz and has a gpu that should help a few 3d games abit takes the stress of the cpu abit surley

wiz has the same gpu as the caanoo
in my opinion the caanoo should have been what the wiz was, aside from the analog stick.

So finally, i got my Caanoo too :wub:

My first impressions are really great !
I like the Caanoo at the first moment :wub: !

Really nice design, good handling, very fast boot up, very nice and fast menus !

Also cool h34r: :
the integrated USB-HOST works "out of the box" with USB Flash MEM (1GB and 8GB tested), external Harddrives,
USB Keyboards and Ralink based WIFI Dongles !

here the first pictures from yesterday:


UPS Package

Charging-LED = red, Power on = blue (same like on Wiz)

The Firmware (but i got the new v0.8.5_Full_20100722 from GPH will flash it soon..

successfully recognized USB Flash Mem

...and access to the external files

Finally a short Video: (shows the Caanoo booting and playing Music from ext. USB Flash)

There's some really nice pictures there! And is that a USB floppy drive? Awesome.

 

[frolik]

Thanks for the pics, usb host is a very welcome feature. However seeing the same usb adapter as the wobbly wiz one is a big turn off...

Thanks

@USB Floppy:

yes it is , but it still doesn´t recognized ...
(okay if i connect it to the Cannoo , the floppy powered on and you can hear the seeking sound
maybe it was to late yesterday or the inserted Disk was faulty :unsure:
(I´ll try it again next time)

My vision: to be able to use also a floppy in the future directly with Emulators (Amiga, Atari etc.)

So do you get a ac adapter with the caanoo?

Nope, GPH are going to sell a USB wall adaptor seperately. You'll get a USB cable with the Caanoo so you can charge on your PC.
