    A Plea To Extend The Re-ordering Deadline

    QUOTE Cool but... can't you use a stylus on the screen in place of the mouse? Touchscreen drivers not working yet?

    When Do We See A Finished Pandora?

    QUOTE Hmm... but what's wrong about "offence" Nothing, that's English. QUOTE apart from the fact that you can also write "offense"? That's American-English.

    Mutitouch?

    QUOTE I'll go one step further and point out that if this hack was implemented, you could get he same result by taping the "stationary" spot, then pressing and holding on the spot where the input would register in a "multi" situation and moving the stylus. The touchscreen registers the exact...

    Mutitouch?

    So much anger about someone trying to push the boundaries of what is accepted behaviour for a touchscreen. Strange attitude. Anyway, does anyone know which touchscreen controller is being used for the Pandora? If you read the thread which was originally linked you'll see that the hw+driver in...

    With Pandora Work Well As A Media Player? (like Mp3 And Mpeg4, Ect..)

    QUOTE It is also quite low in quality by default. Many BT headphones don't support the higher quality settings, too. Yeah, there were deficiencies in the long standing bluez-utils sbc implementation, these are being addressed and it does sound much better (IMO). I'm guess more could also be...

    With Pandora Work Well As A Media Player? (like Mp3 And Mpeg4, Ect..)

    QUOTE SBC is a very, very low complexity codec. The batteries in your BT headphones would run out 10 times over before the encoding overhead made a noticeable dent in the Pandora's battery life. Have you experimented much with it? Your version is apparently better optimised than mine...

    With Pandora Work Well As A Media Player? (like Mp3 And Mpeg4, Ect..)

    QUOTE I tested canola 2 and it is pretty nice although not perfect. More importantly it's not open source... I thought it was opensourced recently. QUOTE BT radio power requirements are negligible. Possibly less than the headphone amp power requirements. It's not so much the radio power as...

    Overheating Cpu

    QUOTE sorry to nitpick and be ot :) QUOTE so a large fraction of these photons will work up against earths gravity field, loose energy (get redshifted), escape earth and most probably also the solar system, loosing even more enery and the galaxy, loosing even more energy to the gravitational...

    Pixel Scaling And Licenses

    If you link against GPL (including in a dll/so) your code has to be GPL too afaik, that's why the LGPL was created to allow commercial use of shared libraries. Basically if you use this code you'll have to release your source. You should to be able to re-implement the code yourself using a...

    Pandora, Some Actual Performance Numbers ..

    QUOTE Has someone tried to use an ARM compiler for nBench, yet? Or had a look at the GCC contributions from ARM? Or do ARM only support their own compiler? QUOTE The compiler itself doesn't do much as we can see in the nbench example. A realworld-benchmark like Quake 2 timedemo would be much...

    Pandora, Some Actual Performance Numbers ..

    VFP and VFPlite are different hw afaik. I agree, still strange that the ARM1136 is faster than the Cortex for fp stuff. Looking at my post (#64) the effect of compiling nbench for vfp is not that large 1251.6 (with) vs 970.92 (without) assuming you always link against a vfp enabled libm...

    Reordering Update

    And as people have already suggested, send them out in the order they were ordered, but only to those who have paid. This will encourage people to pay by bank transfer (either because they want theirs asap, or because once people have the devices they will be more willing to take a chance with...

    Reordering Update

    QUOTE (For anyone wondering about protection - as far as I'm aware with bank transfers you have NONE.) Yeah, it's a case of you personally taking the company to court/negotiating with the liquidators to obtain a refund or part thereof, with a CC, the CC company does this for you and accept...
