I kinda searched for this, but didn't find anything...
Does the Pandora have a sensor telling it whether the lid is open or closed?

good to know so we can set that closing the screen means standby, unless the media player is busy.

oh, i see, thats efficient, it uses the magnet in the right speaker instead of having a dedicated magnet. pretty cool.

jeje thanks for the links.


but why the "NOT" to the magnet sensor,
thats cool! and
im happy the power SW is not behind like the gameboy (almost went mad a lot of times when you are at the last level of a game and then a dumb shuts it off)
