I have heard of Wind mobile, but I'm about 1.5 hours north of Toronto in a little 300 pop. nowhere. It's pure luck that I get 5Mbit/800Kbit DSL. Besides, I wouldn't use it enough to justify $45/month when I think long and hard before shelling out $40/year for a VPS.
That's fair enough. Compared to Rogers and Bell it's a steal, but only if you do regularly use data. Which I do, and would do if the Pyra has a compatible 3G option.
The radeon driver actually already hit that goal, the slightly older OpenGL 2.1 cards are indeed faster with several games and even the earlier HD cards are getting close to that ( => Phoronix). Not to mention that the proprietary driver is legendary for its issues while the free driver has an incredibly stable development history - getting the driver directly from git as cutting edge hardly causes any problems (if the card it is used with is already somewhat well supported, of course).However, it already passed a long way. The dozens of documents and gifted code packages from AMD took ages to pass legal review, hardly anyone would be willing to spend that much ressources for that.
IMHO, the EVM has an "older" cpu revision.
depends.. does the pyra need a heatsink for the heat at default speeds?
Actually, the SoC was on the EVM, and the EVM was wired to the prototype Pyra PCB. gta04 said himself that the next step was moving those parts that were existing on the EVM onto the PCB itself.
-God GinraiIt is currently both - a Pyra Prototype Board connected to a TI Devboard. The next (and most challenging part) will be to integrate parts of the Devboard (i.e. OMAP5, Memory etc.) onto the Pyra Board. This means reducing the current total size (both connected parts) to <50%. But we have a lot of experience with the GTA04 project where space was 100% given and limited. And we did finally squeeze in a lot of things. It is like solving a puzzle or playing tetris with components and wires
That GTA04 guy is Nikolaus, the board designer.
.
I didn't mean to say he wasn't friendly or anything. It is not for me to say, I haven't even met him. All I was trying to say is, that it looks like (from his previous projects and posts on the forums), that he is pretty familiar with those OMAPs and he might be pushing into the OMAP direction or at least favoring it over other SoC. I was just guessing that it might be the case. From what ED says, it looks my guess was wrong after all.That GTA04 guy is Nikolaus, the board designer.
Of course he's focused on the OMAP 5 as it's the only option for now.
I've met him several times now and he's a really friendly and kind person.
He will be the last one who will be a problem.
He's the one making everything working for us
I know you didn't want to be rude against GTA04 (and you were not).I didn't mean to say he wasn't friendly or anything. It is not for me to say, I haven't even met him.

.According to some internet articles there will be some products using the Snapdragon 805 out middle 2014.Anyway, nice to see the team is willing to use other SoC. So it is up to Qualcomm to decide if they are willing to sell them some.
I think it's worth it to wait to get that awesome beast.
