    Release Panplayer Beta 1

    I got it to launch from the terminal, but there isn't any sound. Maybe there is some configuration stuff I can look into.

    man pages

    Ah, I should have said. Running Hotfix 5 RC2 from an ext2 SD card. a "$sudo opkg install -V 2 man" yields . . opkg_conf_parse_file: Loading conf file /etc/opkg/python-feed.conf. pkg_hash_load_feeds: pkg_hash_load_status_files: pkg_info_preinstall_check: Updating file owner list...

    Release Panplayer Beta 1

    Friggan love it! Question though. If I wanted to launch PanPlayer through Thunar (by clicking on my video file, say), what would the best way to do that? I know you can assign pnd_run.sh to launch pnd files, but I'm not sure what .sh file you are using for just mplayer. As far as I can tell...

    man pages

    I tried opkg install man, and it spit back an error at me, saying it couldn't install man. when I get home, I'll edit exactly what the error message was and/or the - V 2 output.

    DPAD no worky!

    The same thing happened to me when I received mine. I took it apart to look at the keymat (and almost lost the "X" button for good!) and found that the d-pad is a plastic housing on top of a plus-sign shaped rubber gasket with a hard plastic ball in the center. At the end of each arm of the plus...

    Any military Pandora users?

    Canadian Navy here. I've had my pandora for awhile, and even took it on a 3 month sail to South America. It kicks ass for quick little games here and there when you have a bit of time. I used it for video almost every day (before racking out), and even fbreader was pretty useful once in a...

    San Diego-ites!

    So, here's the thing. I'm a Canadian sailor, and our ship is in port in San Diego for a few days, and was wondering if anyone following the project was up for a coffee or bit of lunch. I received my order shortly before I left and I have it for demonstration purposes if anyone wants to check it...

    Headphones On The Pandora

    This just makes me remember way too many impedance matching problems from my electronics course.

    Anyone Preorder From Vancouver Canada?

    Victoria here. I could take a ferry for a weekend trip.

    Id Tech 4, Other Related Games.

    Wholeheartedly agreed sir! However perhaps I should put more emphasis on "rough". Let's just say that I can't wait to personally collect data to see how close I was :)

    Id Tech 4, Other Related Games.

    We've seen a what, with wifi and super-bright screen a draw of about 400 mA? Add the 500 mA for the HDD and you get about 4 hours on a 4000 mAH battery. That's obviously a very rough calculation, but still Gawd-Damn impressive.

    Shipping On The 4Th?

    For people not in the UK, the few days it takes to ramp up will probably be soaked up by customs delays. I have a package from Hong Kong sitting in Vancouver that is currently starting its second week of imprisonment.

    Second Review Case Will Be Shipped Dec 23Rd

    Actually, in Canada when Boxing Day falls on a weekend, the following monday is a stat holiday as well... that means that friday, saturday, sunday and monday were all non-working days. No worries though. It's all good for those who were working over the holidays. Helps them pay for more pandoras!

    Wondering About Delays?

    (Sigh), I'm set to go on a 3 month trip (during which the Pandora would be very much appreciated) starting April 2nd. Dammit!

    Reordering Update

    I did some math as a Canadian with Xoom. To send 197.77 in GBP via USD through CAD would ultimately cost me (drum roll please...) 402.66. Thats about 20 more expensive than if I went to the bank with a bank transfer. Canadians, Xoom is probably not your solution.

    Reordering Update

    I just looked into the wire transfer rates for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. $30 for the transfer (not including the wire) $15-$30 for the wire, depending on the destination. And that's not including such fun as currency exchange fee, you used our flesh-and-blood tellers fee, or...

    What Do You Think The Pandora Should Feature First?

    This really seems to be an extension of the "UMPC vs Emul-machine" debate. As far as I can see, the GUI argument also factors in decent (efficient) audio/video playing system. Not many people have been discussing this so far, and its pretty important. Emulators are awesome, and I'm excited...

    Sick And Tired Of These?

    What I don't understand about this whole things is why people care so much about what others think. Sure, its going to be a kick-ass gaming platform. Sure its going to be a extremely competent UMPC. That means that the media freaks have one of the best devices on the market to do what they want...

    A Really Cool Way To Have A Lot Of Storage Without Memory Cards...

    I really do like the NAS idea, even though it only helps at home. If the transfer rate was decent, you might be able to load your SD cards with media without mucking around with a cockeyed SD card sneakernet.
