Refurbished units 256 Mb

I just spotted on Dragonbox.de :

They are not available yet, but the price is now at 236 euros.


That's becoming really affordable while it is not recommended to run Android with it (at least that's the official position from ED's shop).

Well, some here with a 256MB unit would recommend Android as well, but in my opinion it's not good enough for a normal user is textures are missing from games and you need to set up a swapfile manually so it won't run out of memory


That's why I don't recommend it

It could still be used for non-gaming purpose, maybe?


By the way when will these units be available ?

Yes, but that's certainly no key factor of the Pandora ,)

They will become available every once in a while. These need to be assembled and tested

Maybe I am the only one, but I am using non-game apps with Android actually, more than I play with it ! At least until some of the gaps in the apps available on Angstrom are fixed.

A lot of plusses for this kind of approach to a "sales text". Maybe you should make a commercial, like these cliche car salesman TV-Spots => Honest Ed

Nice... I'll start trying to twist some arms!

I use a 256 mb Pandora since one Yeahr, and i can you promise: the Unit work just fine even if it dont have the 512 mb Ram, i have a 800 mb Swapfile since a couble Weeks, yes, but also whitout it, Playstation 1, GBA SNES, etc works just fine whitout the Swap..,


but for Firefox, and Android, you need the Swapfile because it need the extraram..


I tryed Minecraft Pocket Edition, Angry Birds, World of Goo, which all works great, only Angry Birds Space dosnt seems to work, but maybe its only something to tweak..


So dont think the CC Pandora are less worth than the new GC Ones, there are the Original Pandora, a bit Slower than the New, but for me its good until the Pandora 2..

The kernel version is now 3.2.26 ^^.


ED, you should write 3.2.X, or just 3.X ^^.
