That's not old fashioned, that's just lazy.Sorry, I guess I'm a bit old fashioned. When I want to know something, my first instinct is to ask.
I like to do that too, and I'm too young to do old fashioned things. :-D

It is old fashioned. The current lazy method is having a gadget/widget on your desktop using web data. SOund like you're an old boy that dont yet assume thatThat's not old fashioned, that's just lazy.

In that case I don't want to know how old fashioned I'll be once I'm 20 years old.It is old fashioned. The current lazy method is having a gadget/widget on your desktop using web data. SOund like you're an old boy that dont yet assume thatThat's not old fashioned, that's just lazy.

It's 720p.Does anyone know what the viewing angles are on the BOE screen that they're demoing? That's all I really care about the screen, but BOE's website clearly does not list the panel that ED is testing, since he's looking at a 720p panel and the ones listed on their site are all 800x400ish
Wouldn't the Keyboard light also be considered a light? Well, unless the keyboard light is acceptable when very low.Is it weird that the main thing I'm looking forward to in the Pyra is the backlit keyboard?
I would use my Pandora so much more if it would have that. For me it's the ideal fiddling around in bed device and I get a lot of euhm.. let's say negative feedback from the other person inhabiting my bed if I switch the light (any light, doesn't matter how small) on.
Excellent point. But the screen itself is worse so that would always trump the keyboard.Wouldn't the Keyboard light also be considered a light? Well, unless the keyboard light is acceptable when very low.Is it weird that the main thing I'm looking forward to in the Pyra is the backlit keyboard?

Have you tried tilting the screen so the light is angled on the keys? I don't have a Pandora , but I do this with my laptop sometimes when I work at night, and I can see the keys a bit better when performing non-touch type actions.Excellent point.

We have reached a compromise as far as phones go and the Pandora screen size makes it a device in the phone department.
I once bought one of these really small lights you could clip onto a book and that didn't fly at all with her. Problem is I always go to bed much later so she's asleep already but sleeps light. And I can't sleep if I don't do some browsing, fiddling with code, reading about fiddling with code etc etc so deals had to be struck. So using the special characters on the keyboard of my current 1GhZ just doesn't work in the dark. Also not really well in dimmed light and I'm a bit of a vampire, I like to dwell in the dark(ish).
Luckily the Pyra is coming along nicely!![]()
