    Who's Still Interested In The Pandora?

    The biggest thing that could bumb me out is if a 5" netbook-like device with a snapdragon processor comes out right after I get the pandora. The hardware is getting a bit old and its not even out yet, that is, IMHO, the biggest downer going for the pandora.

    Windows Mobile On Pandora?

    Well it seems that wine might be ported to ARM which should allow windows mobile apps to run on the pandora. I wouldn't hold my breath as it is really new, but then again if you are one of the early orders you should be used to it ;) You can see the mention of it here (with a few kind word about...

    I'm Sick And Tired Of All These Delays!

    I havn't been waiting as long as most of you, but as long as it can run OMF 2097 and Another World in Dosbox (and it should), I don't see any reason to be disappointed!

    Useful For Theora?

    http://www.schleef.org/blog/2009/11/11/theora-on-ti-c64x-dsp-and-omap3/ While it doesn't look like it's amazing quality (he does complain that things could be improved) it does look like its pretty descent and a step in the right direction.

    Syntensity

    I just thought I'd point out to people at a cool engine I saw called syntensity, it is based off of Cube 2/Sauerbraten which seems to be portable/ported to opengl es (http://strlen.com/cube/cube_intel_pda/). What is nice (but will probably make the porting hard) is that it has support for...

    Chaotic Vortex - Dual Stick Arena Shooter

    Ah, Sorry, didn't realize one was already being worked on and was being released...

    Geometry Wars Port?

    I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anyone talking about it. It would be really cool to have a Geometry Wars port to the Pandora, the dual analog would make it really fun. The problem is that I haven't been able to find any free (as in speech) clones out there. There are quite a few...

    Free (As In Speech) Models

    I wanted to thank everyone for all the links, I have found some good things! In addition I wanted to add for anyone that needs it: http://search.freegamedev.net/ (which uses http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/wiki/index.php/FreeArtSearch) Maybe this should be documented on a developer wiki or...

    Python/pygame Vs G++

    I wanted to point out that if you want a 3d game I have been playing around with OGRE and it seems to have descent python bindings. I will PROBABLY be using it to write a game. I do not want to use C (even though that is what I read/write in my day job) because it is a pain compared to writing...

    Big Update From Ed

    I know that this is a big off-topic from the Spelling warZ (a definite spelling game for the pandora :P ), but shouldn't we have already heard something about the moulds? First it was Oct. 23rd the latest, then it was supposed to ship by the end of this week. I am not trying to blame anyone or...

    Free (As In Speech) Models

    I want to start writing a little game, probably using OGRE-python but not sure yet (suggestion welcome). Well, it's less of a game and more of testing cool ways of controlling spaceships with the dual-analog+dpad input that the Pandora has. Anyway, I would like to be able to have a few models...

    Pandora Pandora Netbeans

    NetBeans on a 4.3" screen? Isn't that against the laws of physics or something? I would really suggest just getting a good editor (like Kate)...

    Finger Based Ui

    Actually, I am pretty sure the the Chrome OS will be a google version of Moblin. I see no reason not to use an X server etc... Ragarding Android on the Pandora, well Android supports loading native code, it just "prefers" its java-list thing. Though there are a few laptops that come with...

    Finger Based Ui

    Thanks WizardStan, that is more-or-less what I meant, but it goes farther then just button sizes. I mean you don't think it makes a difference until you try something like scrolling a list of games. On a good UI you can just put your finger on th emiddle of the list and drag down and it will...

    Finger Based Ui

    Just got my order confirmed today(!!) and was wondering about UIs that don't require a stylus. I know that there are quite a few possible UI's going to be possible on the Pandora, but I was wondering what people thought about the availability of finger based ones (that don't require a stylus)...
