Never felt my gp2x get hot, just the batteries which would get quite warm.

Are you sure...? I read "Thats a fast Processor how much heat will it generate?" as a question about the processor generating heat, myself.Creature XL said:Its really amazing what you all know about the ARM processors which are made for embedded purpose and don't get hot CAUSE they are designed for fan less designs.
However, THAT was never the question of the OP.
Maybe I misunderstood?(Even though my own earlier post was really in response to Rivus' post.
)EDIT: And the third post didn't come from the OP, by the looks of it...

Micro Phase change systems already exist. They are on the order of $10,000 though. Might put a hamper on modding the Pandora... Oh and they are mostly exclusive to research. I don't think the companies that do make them would sell them to anyone else since the actually production is quite low and is basically reserved for research.

The CPU can get warm but there isn't a need for a fan, I think Notaz maxed the Pandora CPU a while back (turning on the L2 Cache I think made the difference) and it was warm to touch but nothing more.
I wonder if the OMAP4 (if it gets made) would need a heat sink. A little radiator grill on the back of your Pandora2, might look quite cool

I would worry more about where the antennae is located, hey where is that located anyway? Center away from the hands or in the lid I hope.

I think you already know the answer to that question

I think that on boot everything may be off, or at a default setting to ensure safe boot. Then the software devs and firmware/OS people need to find the registers to push to enable the neat features. It probably doesn't really make a big difference in a cellphone or PDA anyway, only people running crazy emulators or games
We kind of went through this with the GP2X where the ram was set a certain way in the OS, and we needed to set it for normal access to get a speed boost.
Anybody who has a clue what is going on, feel free to chime in, this is just what I assume is going on.
Edit: See Squidge's post, I was on the right track, but way off

The L2 was off by default on the MK0 compatible kernels (getting something working was kinda more important). Of course it is now on by default, and will be the same in production Panda's.polkunus said:

Hmmm, I knew there was a reason Craigx was using a Chinese Company for Production. So.... What kind of Bamboo do we have to feed it? Also, I believe all Mammals maintain a body temp of right around ~100 F. So.... it may be slightly warm... and cudly, but not hot. If it is, take it to vet.
PS, Make sure to make up some story about finding it lost on the highway or something.
