Re: GP2X Pandora
It's been discussed, and the vast majority of PS1 games make very, very little use of the L2 and R2 buttons. It was basically a non-issue. I would have liked to see six face buttons, but it looks like it will be four. I understand why, but I still like six button configurations over four.
I edited my last post to respond to your previous post, FYI. |

Re: GP2X Pandora
Let's all not forget the one big plus the Pandora has over the Nokias: It has a frakking name!
No more wasted hours thinking up what to name the thing. Pure genius! |
Re: GP2X Pandora
I think the keypad is great.
1) The space would otherwise be unused. 2) The keypad makes it easy to perform certain functions (surfing the web, configuration, shell) possible without obscuring screen contents. 3) It allows for emulation of different types of games (old pc games -- kings quest, commodore games, etc) without crazy interface work-arounds, or add-on hardware. 4) This is at heart a hacker device. Not including a keypad (for shell access, remote access, script generation, etc) that could easily be included, would be an unnecessary handicap. I'd LOVE bluetooth in this device. It opens it up to many different hardware combinations and extends its usefulness tremendously. IMO the argument of including bluetooth would be similar to the argument of including Mini-USB. Also, USB charging would eliminate a hole in the device, which could be a secondary USB port. }:^j~ YARR! Capt'n Corrupt |

They're talking about trying to stay compatible with the Debian arm-el (sp?) .deb's, which would make a lot of stuff available without any work. They've got some real linux gurus over there. Some of these guys coded a new GP2X firmware from scratch, which I consider pretty impressive. Some people have suggested porting Maemo, which I think is a great idea, as I'm pretty fond of Maemo, myself. I think a KDE port is pretty likely, too. I'm really looking forward to what the community can come up with. There are some seriously talented guys in the community. |

Oh, and don't forget to whine incessantly if someone suggests it might be more productive if you used the search function first. :rolleyes: (Seriously: I think I might follow you in there. This is some rad vapourware. I think I'm in love again <snif!>) |

In other news.... I just found out there are bluetooth SD devices on the market. Though most of the are discontinued, if supported, will provide a wireless option for external devices. I'd love to use Pandora as a mobile voip device, and it looks as though this will be possible. Yes, I too am in love again! }:^j~ YARR! Capt'n Corrupt |
