[SIZE=10.5pt]People are popping up all kinds of spec speculation and suggestions all around this sub, so did I. However, after some brainstorm, better spec doesn't necessarily make Pandora any more popular. [/SIZE]
Here are my reasons.
First of all, will even the best of the next gen suddenly give P2 the ability to emulate Win98 era games at full speed? Possible, but not likely.
Secondly, pandora is good enough even at 1 ghz. It runs latex, and libreoffice fluidly. Even though it struggles with html 5 and flash, it’s still adequate. Making P2 a power machine doesn’t add in anything P2 doesn’t already have.
Last but not least, the more I use Pandora, the more it grows on me. It truly exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect to get a little machine that can replace most of my electronics.
I would argue that if ED can get an audio engineer to demonstrate Pandora’s capability, and show how it completely murders and kills all the Mp3s below its price tag with a variety of headphones. Then make a few videos about programming and drawing pictures on it.
People all over the world will want it.
People are more willing to pay a fortune on something they have great expectations beforehand. Thus, if we are ever going to start a kickstarters, we should make it sounds as unreal and crazy as plausible. Show people the numbers, show people how this is one machine that rules them all.
“Why do we need all the popularities”, you ask..
Well, children of the village, we need to sell a lot of it to make P2 in a timely fashion. A number like 2000 will not do. We are just bacteria on a small sea shell. If we can attract engineers, programmers and other geeks, we will get much bigger sale numbers. To my knowledge, there is nothing that’s as portable and functional as pandora. Programmers and engineers can truly make some use of it. So will musicians and students.
600 bucks is pretty steep for a handheld.
It’s not that much for a mini laptop, and certainly attractive if most softwares are free.
The implications here is vast.
