    Extra Features That People Wish The Most

    I'm surprised no one mentioned this earlier, I would really like to see this too. In some ways it reminds me of when the Wiz was planning on shipping with a 2.5mm headphone jack, it had the ability to use standard headphones, but only with an adapter, just like this has the ability to use low...

    Any Change Of Plans?

    Well, I agree that things don't seem to be as intense as what I heard about the depression, but my fear comes from the fact that that only a small percentage actually care. So a depression doesn't seem too unlikely. In my local area unemployment is in the two digits, it took me five months to...

    Bluetooth Marketing - The Next Step In Portable Marketing?

    No offense, but I would hate to answer my phone just because someone wanted to tell me about their website (or any other reason that involved someone trying to help themselves to my money or time). If the website is worthwhile, I'll find it on my own. if not, then I'm busy finding things that...

    What Is Your Worst Fear About The Pandora ?

    What would happen if some obscure part (e.g. Audio Processor) ceases to be manufactured sometime during the Pandora's life? Would this break compatibility between batches? If so; That's my worst fear.

    Official Promotion And/or Boot Animation/Jingle Thread.

    So what would be the odds of making an app to change boot animations for each boot. It could be simple, for example, if you import a boot animation by dragging the appropriate file onto the appropriate spot on the SD card, a file manager could be made to switche the file out with one in your...

    Pandora Pandora Panic

    Well, I'm working on a mini game where a person jumps out of an air plane, but their parachute doesn't open, so they have to move and collide with any birds/branches/toy planes they can to slow their decent before hitting the ground (or else they'll hit too fast, in which case they die). Not...

    Release Voice actived application execution?

    It could also be neat to have a “clap to pause” feature while watching movies. This allows you to be on the couch while your Pandora is next to the TV and still have a “remote control” for it.. of course, it'd probably need to analyze the sound in the file it's playing to make sure the clap...

    Release GP2X apps compatible with Pandora?

    A thread worth reading might be: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=43732&st=0 It doesn't cover any commercial apps, but it talks about making the open source games to run on all three handhelds (Wiz, Pandora, GP2X).

    A Launch title - A community effort.

    I feel inspired A 2D space shooter sounds like it'd be easier to create than a mario clone, you wouldn't need to worry much about physics (jumping/falling) or much level design (plus, no need for any walking/running/jumping/ducking animations). I Know you were talking about building on a...

    Can we keep this forum permanently?

    I dunno Possible reasons to change to this Forum: -The last forum didn't seem as “modifiable” as this (or another) one could be. For example, many people have suggested adding a “FAQ” which first time registers were required to read before posting in a respective area (Like before posting in...

    It's Preorder Day!

    Actually, it might have been smart of them to specify a time, and then go an hour after that, that way everyone hits the servers, they crash, and then on recovery there will be less people spamming the sites.. of course, this would probably piss a bunch of people off and make them leave the...

    Openpandora Vs Gamepark Holdings Wiz

    Here's the Beagle Board, similar to the Pandora, running Ubuntu (among other things). This probably means it won't be long before the Pandora can run Ubuntu. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVwh_VrIxk I think the Pandora's Battery is estimated to last ten hours with normal use, but the test...

    Poll: First Batch Or Second?

    I'm not going to be able to buy one for the next 5-6 months (unless I get a lucky burst of money). Right now I'm saving up to move away and don't have much in the way of spare money, however if I did I would totally pre-order, I bought the GP2X soon after becoming aware of it's existence only...

    Does The Pandora Have A Microphone And Where Is It Placed?

    There is no camera built in, you can use a USB camera if you have the drivers.. :) What I'm curious about, is how well you could use the Mic to cancel out noise in the environement. This idea just came to me, and I haven't been able to find if it required multiple Microphones on the headphones...

    U. S. 2008 Election Thread

    I used to only vote for the candidate who matched as many ideas/opinions as I had (it always ended up being an independent guy too). Of course, for a while it seems we have lost focus on that whole “money earned : money spent” ratio, so I figured I'd go with Obama this time. Obviously I don't...
