Hi, I already have a pre-order place but probably around the 3000th mark (was a bit slow to see that pre-orders had started having been on holiday).
As I have discussed on the other forum, I am working (or more specifically - planning on working once I get my Pandora and can test properly) on a...
Will it be possible to put the Pandora into standby mode just by closing the screen?
Or is it power button only? Can the power button be used to do standby and shutdown? Like, tap for standby - hold for shutdown?
Well, besides - it makes total sense to ship them out as they are built.
Otherwise several thousand Pandoras would be collecting dust in a (big) room waiting the the last one to be tested and boxed - and then about 20 courier vans would turn up and each consignment loaded on seperately. That...
Yes, this is exactly what they are going to do. As they are manufactured and tested they will be sent out in order of the pre-order list.
As I understand it, they could even start shipping out in the next couple of weeks - and craigx has insuated that they are able to manufacture about 1200 per...
This might seem like a lot to ask for - but it would be nice to know what position we are in the pre-order queue.
Like "You are number 2358 in the queue. Please hold and a Pandora will be with you shortly."
And then...even better...once production has begun it would be amazing if there was...
My top choices would be:
1) Open TTD (already mentioned)
2) Remote Desktop Client
3) Alien Arena
4) Scorched 3D (the father of all games)
5) TORCS
Flight Gear would be pretty awesome too. From what I can tell, the SGX should be able to cope with the 3D acceleration requirements. I stand to be...
I have the kernel built and ready to test on my Pandora when it turns up. There is still plenty to do in terms of drivers, but I will be working with the BeagleBoard guys on this. Gonna be a lot of effort, but I think it will be worth it.
Roll on mid-November...can't do anything until then!
I would expect to see an aesthetically "improved" version of the Pandora some 12 months or so along the line.
Hardware internals must stay the same - but externally the sky's the limit...
Pandora Slim+Lite in 2009?
Personally, I'm not going to be parading around with my Pandora showing it to...
Couldn't someone use the platform builder kit to create a Windows CE image - and then sell it for a few quid?
I'd buy it for one, reckon a fair few others would too.
edit:
I'm downloading the platform builder as we speak
If there is enough interest in this I will devote some time to making...
