What's the procedure if I want to add another unit to my order ?
There was a guy I was working with at the time that seemed extremely unhappy with his rapidly receding hairline. He was a couple years older than me. There is nothing wrong with grey hair or being bald, so people shouldn't be ashamed of it, yet many are. If I ever lose mine I hope it all goes away on top so I can look this goodMine started falling out when I was 25.

I wanted to post so many pictures, be glad I limited myself to one. You could be looking at a nearly naked Picard instead.
There is no need for the power management to be optimized when the CPU is in sleep mode, I don't think it is managing anything when it's sleeping. I don't think Pyra will be released without a sleep mode.Don't worry, the power management is so unbelievably broken on the OMAP5, standby power consumption due to RAM usage won't be noticable for a while.
I ain't worried and my calculations are valid, I said "So assuming that _wb_'s post is right (RAM power consumption is proportional to his size + the percentage of power used by RAM in idle mode is 50%)."And still heavily depends on the internal structure and other properties. It's a really bad idea to attempt a direct comparison with the N900, the RAM chips alone have a difference of years of development and invention. For example, 4 years ago Micron introduced DDR3L chips with a more power saving self-refresh mode - an 8x4Gbit DIMM with those chips only takes 30mA @ 1.35V in standby (that's about 1Wh per 24h), newer revisions surely do better than that.
Don't worry, there's enough leakage elsewhere that makes your calculations invalid, even in standby the RAM chips are really not the only things nibbling on the battery.

It all depends a bit on why people are not ordering yet.
- They would if they knew about it.
- They doubt it will be delivered at all.
- They are skeptical about its capabilities.
- They want an ATOM. Here the "existence" of the GPD win hurts a bit. Can be resolved with a board replacement in the future.
- It is too expensive.
As a bit of background, I don't own a Pandora, and only happened to stumble upon a mention of the Pyra in a forum post somewhere by accident (can't remember what site it was on). That was over a year ago. But I was intrigued enough, and so I bookmarked it and made a point to check back once in a while. But it was totally luck - I even frequent a number of the major technology news sites, and still had never heard of it. But hey, maybe I live under a rock or something. I dunno. It is kinda dark in here, now that I think about it...
That leads me to wonder if any sites you do go to for news would be appropriate for us to contact. Any suggestions?
LiliputingThe ones I most often frequent are:
* Gizmodo
* Ars Technica
* Slashdot
* Life Hacker
* Wired
* Engadget
* Tech Crunch
Any suggestions on other tech sites to read?

You may be charged sales tax for your state, plus some handling fee of up to $20. If you aren't, then you'll be expected to claim it on your income tax next year, but honestly I don't know anyone who isn't a business that does.I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm interested in preordering a pyra but I'm in the U.S. What sort of import tax are we looking at here if it's shipped from europe?
Oh my god! If the Pyra shipped with keyword "computer", then Chinese cumtoms will charge 1000~3000 RMB ($155~$460) as import tax; if shipped with keyword "phone/pad", the customs will charge even more as import tax.You may be charged sales tax for your state, plus some handling fee of up to $20.

As a computing device under $1000 it should be duty-free from Germany, especially if you get the 4G unit and it gets shipped as a phone.
