Use embedded code in the nubs to interpret the directional signals, yielding filtered, corrected output for the OS on the Pandora to see, saving processor overhead and improving performance.
And end up with firmware bugs that require the nubs to be sent back >_>

How the hell does one screw up the firmware for analog nubs??
It seems like a very simple thing to program.
Who knows what protocol they had to use to transmit the data out.
erm, I'll get me coat.aliking said:something funny about nubs designers going tits up... you could say - they went bust...
