Pre-Ordered :d

[JeFF]

First post !

Yay, I just pre-ordered my pandora !
I'm currently number 150 on the 4000 available on batch 2 !!

Also, I have a little question. I Know that the pandora
support SDHC cards, so does it supports regular sd cards?
Finally, I'm not sure, but is it possible to use a usb key instead of sd cards
tu put stuff on?

Thanks !

Best first post I've seen in a while, welcome
SD Cards and USB sticks should work.

 

[NLS]

Yes, you can use both USB and normal SD cards-

Great, so my usb stick will work for my pandora !

Thank you !

As long as it's a standard USB stick, then it should be fine. There's probably still some floating around that aren't, but it's been a while since I had any trouble with a USB stick outside of Windows.

If I recall correctly, Prometheus used a USB thumbdrive exclusively for everything because she didn't have SD cards.
As to using regular SD cards, it should be backwards compatible, but has anyone actually tried it? It'd just be a software compatibility thing if it's not, but I'm pretty sure it is.

I recall somebody using an 1GiB card for the OS, so yeah plain old SD cards should work too...

The usb slot requires the 2.0 standard also...

As mali notes, that was Eniko - I have more SD and SDHC Cards than I know what to do with, myself! :lol: (They've been racking up ever since I got my First Edition GP2X, back in the day. That was when I got my first card, back when a 1GB card cost £20!)

As for regular SD Cards, I have tried it. I reserve an old 2GB Kingston card for my writings. So they definitely work.

Where did you get that number?

Well colour me monumentally embarrassed. Sorry. :blush:

Yes. Any old USB stick will work. It has to be a USB 2.0 stick, or it will not work on it's own, you have to hook it up by using a hub with USB 2.0. This adds a lot of bulk...
B!

You got a number estimate for your batch 2 pre-order? I didn't. Who did you order with?

SD cards work. SDHC cards work. SDXC cards work. USB keys work. SD cards in a USB adapter work.

The only thing that doesn't work is USB hard disks that draw too much power. Hard disks with a separate power supply work.

I just preordered 2 more.

Haven't got my invoice yet for Google Checkout.

Peace & Pandora,

Does this mean the "SD slots" can potentially read other formats too, like my Memory Stick Pro Duos? This will certainly save space in my carrying case.

 

[Prometheus]

No. SD, SDHC, and SDXC all share the same form-factor and means of being read, this is why they all work.

 

[neko]

If you want to read memory sticks, you'll have to use a USB reader.
