This Device Has Amazing Raw Potential

[DXR_13KE]

these last days i have been thinking about the amazing potential this device has, other than playing games, it will be something like a swiss pocket knife....

i have been thinking of using it on some robotic projects... it works with linux, has USB and wifi.... and it now has bluetooth.


what uses would you give it?

 

[Nintendo]

BBQ or something like the George Foreman grill...Yep! That's it! A grill. andora1:

 

[Tinnus]

In the "O RLY?" category...

Anyway I plan on using it with a LEGO Mindstorms NXT project

 

[chad78]

I don't know how amazing this idea is - but I'm installing a VNC client on it, so I can control my Mac remotely with it. Pocketable, touchscreen computer with the power of a Core 2 Duo Mac behind it? YES PLEASE!

 

[Megamixman]

I'm gonna use it to cut wedding cakes....wait sorry wrong category

Reality: It's basically going to be used for Organization/Media/Gaming. The big 3 categories that its being touted for. I'm pretty sure most people will also experiment/dev other things for it. I have a host of small apps that i could port over to Pandora and not loose any functionality ( in terms of User IO).

I'm thinking of using it to bypass school filters during my study hall
I wonder if I can pair it with my 360, and do fun things... hmm what do with a pandora and a 360...
@SONY
For the love of god if your going to jack my avatar please at least give me credit in your signature, I appreciate that you like it but please give me credit for the work I put it on it.

I'm planning on using this device for *me,* and demoting my n800 to a possible robotics project. =)

Edit: My uses will be Media/Internets/Games, probably in that order. And Media will be while doing Internets or Games.

well, aside from the obvious gaming/media/pda-ish stuff (maybe also a gps if possible), im thinking of using it as a portable audio effects processor for my bass or violin... get some program running that can do LADSPA plugins, maybe ill even make a custom version of linux just to get the latency as low as possible. the cpu should be enough for the basics.
also, getting a nice tracker running for writing music on the go is essential to me, even if i have to figure out how to write/port one myself

No need to write anything from scratch

http://www.milkytracker.net/

Recently GPL'd so now in Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, Gentoo etc.

spiralmodular is a very cool analogue synth that I've compiled and ran successfully on the Zaurus and will run even better on Pandora

Other linux music apps that would suit the pandora are

http://chibitracker.berlios.de/ - another good GPL tracker

http://www.filter24.org/seq24/ - Minimal midi sequencer

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - you know already

EDIT

and lest we forget specimen

http://zhevny.com/specimen/

a very nice midi controlled sampler for linux

 

[PSyMastR]

Games, Internet, Chatting on the go, programming on the go (mostly just editing files, not really compiling), and other stuff.

milky is xm only, severely limited, and chibi has no plugin support (tho, i know the developer and maybe i can get his help on adding JACK support in or something, who knows).
spiralsynth looks interesting, as does ingen (linked from ssm's site).

Hey, cutting cake with consumer electronic devices is reserved for Michael Dell and his MacBook Air.

 

[whiskthecat]

Like I said, use the bluetooth to connect to a wiimote and have your very own car accelerometer.

 

[JakeK]

I'll use it for anything I can for my trips home from the Army.

 

[javaJake]

Gorsh, anything and everything. It's a total laptop and PDA replacement for me, which means I'll use it for a wide range of tasks, from gaming (obvious), to e-mail, to the random fun thing that pops into my head.

In terms of wild ideas, I might give Gentoo a go. If I can get Gentoo and its library functioning on it, I'd be speechless.

"MilkyTracker is an open source, multi-platform music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files."

 

[Game_over]

If it's out in suitable form by next February I would suggest it be in the product placement list for a certain spy film .

The guys love obscure reference to products few people heard of; case and point, the Turbo Express in "Enemy of the State".

/me drools over the thought of pandora milky.....

danboid? didnt i say that? yes, im aware that it can also make mod files, but i didnt mention them because, quite frankly, they suck - 8bit samples, 4 channels, 32 samples, no volume column...
by 'xm only' i meant no .it support. plus, the interface is pretty crappy.
regardless, im looking for something more akin to current generation trackers rather than the older dos style.

A good slogan might be:

Pandora became self aware August 31 2008. Within 1 hour it initiate a massive nuclear attack on all the members of gp32x.de...
