Arora has Adblock built-in (and enabled by default, I think)

I tried it on my N800 again, yesterday. It's slow, but should be moderately speedy on Pandora, I guess. Another possibility might be an (illegal) MicroB hack. MicroB is very fast for a Gecko browser and supports ABP from Firefox.VRAndy said:Has anyone tried Fennec on the Pandora lately?

A few posts and his post count > profile numberAlerino said:are you the first gp32x forum member? your profile is older than ED and craig's...
Don't worry, Michael is going to repair the first batch while the team waits on the final cases. He should have plenty of time to make the switches before the cases arrive for assembly.DixieDawg said:First off, thanks Michael and Ed for such informative posts!
Since new boards are now being populated with the correct resistor, have you considered going ahead and using these boards for the initial Pandora releases? Then you could begin repairs on the defective boards kind of "behind the scenes" without as much pressure to have them done immediately. Yet new boards keep keep streaming in and Pandoras get shipped out. Possibly TI could ship out the rest of the new boards to you in several smaller batches and use them for the initial Pandas. What do you think? Or not![]()
Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere but I couldn't find it.

EvilDragon said:So if you're concerned about stuff like that, you should probably never buy a device that hasn't been out for a few years already.
EvilDragon said:Electronics and software is becoming more and more complicated these days, it's impossible NOT doing anything wrong![]()
EvilDragon said:May I ask, please - are all of the first batch going to have this resistor bodge that gets us speed like 500kB/s? How about the second batch? Is this "500kB/s" now considered to be "full speed" for the Pandora? Is there any danger that the speed is seemingly quite low due to another (or the same?) hardware issue?
It won't get lower, it will probably increase as there are software things that can be done now. The signal the module gets is now fully within the specs, so it should be possible squeezing out more of it.
A lot of other mobile devices we tested didn't reach much higher speeds - most of them maxed at about 750KB/s.
Did you ever do a speedtest how fast your mobile phone can go with WiFi?
EvilDragon said:Well, the whole project still did cost A LOT more than the money we got from your preorders.
Please donate us a few hundred thousand USD to NOT produce some stuff in China, and we're happy.
EvilDragon said:Try to find a device where NOTHING is from China these days... neither the board, any resistors, transistors, chips, parts, etc.
Good luck. Might be VERY hard to find some.
EvilDragon said:As you mentioned the PSP above: AFAIK most of the PSP stuff comes from China. At least for the first units.
Monk said:You have convinced me. I'll tell the wife to cancel our Pandora order the moment she gets home.
Ah, the wife is home now. so I can type here and say to her at the same time - EvilDragon recommends that we get a full refund.

If it's like the Beagleboard, Firefox is a little sluggish seeing it's doesn't seem optimized to the hardware enough. It works and it's usable. But your better off using one of the leaner browsers.Zotty posted on 13 April 2010 - 12:03 PM said:I remember being told that Pandora had AMPLE RAM to do anything you'd want to with it - before the amount of RAM was doubled. Why is FireFox not the default browser? Because it uses too much RAM?????
Not cool man. Monk was as dedicated to this as anyone else. Everyone has a breaking point and you shouldn't begrudge someone for reaching theirs. He has a lot of complaints which are perfectly reasonable for him to have and if that's enough for him to leave, so be it.SONY said:Thanks for bumping me up on/in the pre-order list.
And by the way...don't let the door hit you on the way out, mate. B)

I hope he sticks around and perhaps contributes a little more, perhaps rejoins when the second batch ships and all these delays have blown over, but I would understand if he didn't.
That being said, Monk, it may be wise to take some time to cool down before posting further. That's what I suggest, anyway.
