    Sd Card Power Consumption

    As far as I know, SD cards only consume power when they're being accessed.

    Have you tried profiling? Python has profiling included with the profile module.

    Google releases source code for Android

    No one but Microsoft or the OEM will port windows to the G1. The source code is not open.

    MUGEN

    Probably, but not by any of us. It doesn't look like the source code is freely available.

    sigh....

    The news of the Pandora pre-order made it to the front page of slashdot.org. Anyone heard of the Slashdot effect?

    Who manufactures Pandora ?

    It's funny you say that. My dad works as a bread delivery driver who makes a big-name bread here in the US. One day he was stocking the shelves at Walmart and some lady told him that she can't buy the cheap bread because her daughter is allergic. The cheaper bread is the same damned bread in a...

    Stylus and touchscreen to emulate Mouse

    There's really no good alternative to a mouse. With a touchscreen you have precision issues and the stylus gets in the way. Not to mention it's hard to hold the Pandora and operate controls with one hand while holding a stylus in the other. Moving a pointer with an analog joystick is always a...

    Benchmarks... Who can get them?

    Fair enough... How can we do that? I don't have a dev board, though I'd be willing to attempt a port. My C is a little rusty but I used to be fluent... I've even written some toy software 3D renders in C about 10 years ago. God, I hate C! :wacko:

    N64 ???

    I stand corrected :wink: . I posted a thread asking for real benchmarks. We'll see if we come up with anything.

    Iphone OS on Pandora

    Running Android on the Pandora would be great! Because all of the applications are written in a Java-like language and compiled down to Dalvik code, we would have access to just about every Android application written. Any application that doesn't depend on cellular services such as SMS would...

    N64 ???

    Depends. If their software renderer uses fixed-point math, then the floating-point performance wouldn't make a big difference. During the Quake 2 era processors were much better at integer calculations than reals, so most software renders avoided floating point entirely. And because textures...

    Benchmarks... Who can get them?

    I'm having hard time finding real benchmarks for our Pandora's ARM Cortex A8. Does anyone know where we can get some real scores? Or would someone with a dev board be interested in providing some?

    N64 ???

    Though I hope you're right, I'm not so convinced. If Quake 2's rendering is memory-bound, then yes, having a larger cache and faster memory would definitely improve performance. I don't think emulation is a memory-bound task though. Pandora's emulation performance is gonna come down to raw...

    Iphone OS on Pandora

    As much as I like Android, I'm not sure it could work without some big modifications. Android applications all run in a sandboxed virtual machine called Dalvik, a Java-like VM. None of our native applications written to date would run under Dalvik. You could of course dual-boot to Linux+GP2x...

    Pandora and Bluetooth PAN support

    Check out the forum and wiki at http://xda-developers.com. Tons of useful Windows Mobile info. They won't have info about your Blackjack 2, but most of the information will still apply.
