Ok, I apologise for not thinking of a better title! 
Just had a few questions regarding the all-new pyra however. It certianly looks like an intresting device!
Firstly though when abouts might the pyra enter production? Just roughly -- are we talking maybe the end of this year, or the end of next year? Only reason I ask is that I remember the pandora went through a *lot* of development hell. Half the reason my pandora IHMO is so slow (for example) on the 'net is the spammy and bloated nature of many webpages out there x.x.
Secondly will the pyra be using the same audio chip as the pandora at all? Or are there plans to have an even better audio chip?
I've also read on the main page for the pyra that the LCD will be 1280x720; the same page mentions HD on 5" screen would be overkill and 4 times as many pixels to render, making it slow. Does that therefore mean that if the pyra was to be used with an HDMI display (which presumably would be higher resolution than 1280x720) that the pyra would become too slow to use at all? Wouldn't that mean you'd be rendering four times as many pixels in the end on that HDMI display making it slow?
I wonder how the pre-production boards that I've seen in photos and videos btw feels in terms of speed. I know it isn't really possible to compare ARM and x86 but where along the line does the pyra fit in? I wonder how it compares in terms of speed with (say) other ARM based devices such as the rasberry pi, or how it would fare when compared to (say) an old 1Ghz x86/32 bit desktop PC.
Definately going to go for one though
