One thing missing from the Pandora...

[Phawx]

(I know I have another post similar to this, but because news is few and far between, I thought I would create something that lets me (and hopefully others) to talk about the Pandora and vent while we wait for news.)

Okay these are the rules. You can only choose ONE thing missing from the Pandora that you would have loved to have:

I wish the Pandora had a solar panel on the top of the clamshell. This way I would be one of the elite few with working computers in the future collapse of human society.

A trickle charge solar panel is actually a realy nice idea, it's quite practicle and if Apple are thinking about building into solar panels behind the screen of ipods, then they must have though it to be a good idea too.

Think about this: You may be able to charge a bit by ambient light, but exposing the whole Pandora in direct sunlight would be excessive stress for its components, because it can get fairly hot. There are foldable solar panels, for that purpose that you can connect to the pandora, while keeping the Pandora itself in the shade.

And standalone solar panels are for sale in shops. I presume you can get a cable to charge the pandora. And next year a range of flexible solar panels are coming in store.

I can't believe they left out the replicator. it was almost a deal breaker for me. Now how am I going to get a jack and coke on the go? of course it would be even better with a bio-matter resequencer so i could just turn my piss back into jack and cokes but I guess you can't have it all.

Alright you guys aren't following this idea:

I wish the AV port was actually an HDMI port. I know this isn't possible because of the OMAP only have 1 digital and 1 analog out, but I wish their was and HDMI out.

Here are a few points to consider:
1. Most of what the pandora does not have is available as an add on with usb or bluetooth.
2. Most of the people here are quite content with all that the pandora gives you for the price that you pay.
3. Most anything that you can come up with that you think should have been included (except replicators) has been discussed and left out for good reason (space or $$$)
4. Mostly, most of of my points begin with most.

commercial games

from the blog:

While public press is good, here is something that might be of higher interest for some of you:
RedSpotGames, publisher for Last Hope and Wind & Water Puzzle Battles for the Dreamcast announced that they will produce and publish commercial games for the Pandora. They already have some licenses for ports (I can't tell the titles here), this als means there will be most probably an enhanced version of Wind & Water Puzzle Battles, one of the greatest puzzle games I know!

when society colapses in the near future, your computer wont mean shit, invest in a inflatable boat, fishing rod, bow and a quiver of arrows. a good knife, a good machette, a decient tent, good beding, and some porn.

 

[Phawx]

But, what would I play the porn on?

Edit: Also, it would seem there isn't room for light-hearted material. That will be the last coming from me. I have to find something to occupy my time. The funny thing is, there is a lot of stuff to occupy my time, but I feel like I am in Limbo until I can get my grubs on this device.

Le sigh, I need to stop frequenting these boards.

It also comes in paper form. :wink:

And food form. 2 birds, one stone.... although I wouldn't eat it when you were done with it. :twisted:

I wish it came with a Gravity Gun, or maybe even a Portal Gun. They have failed me for the last time...

Good point!

Also, why they put shitty Linux on it? If Linux wasn't worthless, they'd charge real moneys for it!

Now we all know Vista won't fit inside Pandora, you'd have to be a proper mental to fink that, so may be Windows ME would be good choice?

It is just irony :wink:

I think today a virus has infected the board. Uselessness everywhere. I think I'll come back tomorrow and see if it is getting better.
