open up a vim (or emacs, if that's your thing), write a stupid code, then compile it and execute it. that's what makes the pyra different from other closed garden ecosystems, you can run code.
/
If it makes you happy I can also show vim.
Never tried emacs before.
I want to show some coding but I'll use Geany.
Those old editors are not my coup of tea.

I'd like to see these:
- Boot Process
- Proof that the GPU drivers are working w/ X
- Ease of use to change DE/wms. (Maybe try Enlightenment and xfce?)
- Some game that uses the nubs
- Command and Conquer: Red Alert (or maybe Red Alert 2?) using Wine+Exagear
- What the Pyra button does. (I really hope this eventually brings up a menu that will show up over any app that lets you do important things like get to the task manager, force quit the app, etc.)
-God Ginrai
Boot Process is no problem,
GPU is not working.
DE/wms can be changed with a simple logoff/login. Same as on PC
Games maybe
Pyra Button does what the Pandora button does. Brings up the main menu of Mate. Needs to be configured by hand.

This - with the thermal solution. Otherwise there is a risk of posting up what would be a benchmark
For that matter, pick some open source program/game, download the source and dependencies, compile it and execute/play it. All wireless (no power cord either). May require time lapse if it is anything big..? What program is small enough to make this manageable for a video but well known or important enough to be worthwhile?
No downloading benchmark as long as we don't have the new Wifi setup.
I don't think I should wait for the other things.
It may be a little slower than it has to be.
But isn't it nice to see how things improve over time?

Poor Askarus, what did thy unleash upon thy self
I can't do much of use with my prototype.
What I can do best is to test it in the real live.
In my opinion we're at a point where we are close enough to the release date that same occasional video might help publicity and community

Find 50 or so assorted web pages: web comics, news sites, forums; nothing fancy. Open them all, see how well they perform and how much memory it consumes, then bookmark them all into a folder, close, restart, and starting from a fresh slate Open All at the same time. This is something that used to have a high risk of causing my 8GB desktop to run out of RAM and grind to a halt.
That will take forever.
Maybe wait for the better Wifi and the 1.5 GHz and cooling.
I'll look for some sites and we'll see

I was going to ask for a youtube streaming test, but if you're wifi isn't the best, might have to skip it.
How nice is it to plug usb/hdmi/3.5mm cables in? (and remove them)
I would love to know how much of a slap the lid will take when you close it. Do you have to gently close the lid? Can you close it with bit of a click? Would you be able to slam it down if you were in a hurry without snapping the screen? Can you snap it together like a castanet with one hand?
A nice video of typing on the keys whilst holding it in your hands and whilst it is on a desk?
A video showing how precise the nubs and stylus are would be a nice tease. Would love to see how well you can control an FPS game and how fine your skills can be in an image editor of some sort.
Even simple things like showing the unit going into charging mode, being taken off charge. Does it show how much battery is left? Cycling through the different colours of the power button and other indicators.
Good idea.
If don't forget I'll bring all cables with me.
As well as a micro SD and a SIM card.
Not everything will work but maybe as a demo how it looks and feels.
And how the SIM and internal SD will fit in.
Open and closing? No problem.
Can try desk typing. I tried it once or twice on my Pandora I guess. Let's see how well it works.
