Pity there isn't going to be an option for an external wifi antenna, then we could use the Pandora a little further away from access points (like in my back garden )

Just add it yourself by splicing the internal antenna. Maybe MWeston was kind enough to run it out to a pin on the header, though.Squidge said:Pity there isn't going to be an option for an external wifi antenna, then we could use the Pandora a little further away from access points (like in my back garden

Dang! I knew I'd forgotten the most important one.Zarneth said:
(Well, not really. Or what'd you guys think I had in mind with the videos and the comics and the surfing?)
You know, I hardly ever do remote desktopping. Don't really know why though..._VWV_ said:+ remote desktopping
The presentation thing is indeed promising, provided the video out will include the possibility to show "normal" applications on a TV screen. I used to use my Archos PMA430 for the occasional presentation and even at its abysmal resolution (522x384), it was a lot better than drawing pictures on a napkin.

I think this should work, how about playing Crysis and Oblivion on the Pandora? (not actually, but via your home network off of a PC.)

What about using a webcam and turning it into a portable DVR? Or Dual Webcams and using it to make 3D movies?
Tuning your car? Adding accelerometers and using it as a real-world chassis dyno? (or just interfacing it with a wii controller, in fact you could bolt the Wii controller to the approximate center of gravity in your car ).
I really want to watch movies off of my home server over the wifi, and I guess listen to music (the memory card doesn't need to be too big because I could swap out my collection on the fly, of course 8GB cards are only $30-35, 8GB!!!?!?).
TV remote, it has the buttons and would make a killer TV Remote, in fact I could use it to troubleshoot building a remote for a device I have without a remote.

I think it would be useful as a wireless router (/cracker tool/secure web server/ other misc network geekery) but doubt anybody wants to pay $~400 for just a router...
Portable media center idea sounds nice
Hopefully drawing and coding on the go too (I enjoy having the freedom to go "Oh, that's what I needed to do!" and then sit down and do it!)
Random on-the-go writing, hopefully using it as a backup mouse and keyboard mix for times when a keyboard or mouse dies (I already use my GP32 for mouse when need be...), usb joypad (hopefully charging from usb using either of the aforementioned ideas)

Is the movie player not going to be like the shit on the GP2X F200? That will be the feature I'd like to use the most, given that it doesn't take me an arm and a leg to get it working. This is the worst feature about the GP2X F200, the video player (music player is buggy as hell too, wtf were you thinking GPH?)

VLC has a completely configurable keyboard interface and so does Mplayer (VLC is easier to configure from a menu). In any case, I prefer my portable media players to be fullscreen and not have space wasted on blingy interfaces.Zarneth said:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This thing is gonna be pretty sick for schoolwork. If you can load it with Wikipedia and a language translator I'll be using it every day.
Also VLC would be awesome. No more re-encoding videos.
