Then again, from discussions and polls it has become clear that many (if not most) see the Pandora as an UMPC/PMP/Itablet/games console, a variety of tasks which fits the hardware like a spray-on glove.
Have they decided on which version of Linux it'll run (if so, which?)?
Has anyone committed to delivering PIM apps for it?
And do they have a delivery time frame and MSRP yet?
Yes. It will have a bank of switches and a pushbutton. When you mess up the boot-loader, you hold down the push-button during power-on; the switches are then connected to the processor's bus, allowing you to set the switches and push the button to input one instruction at a time.
The 300-page hex dump of the OS may thus be entered, restoring the device from its bricked state.
n800's are overpriced as hell; anybody found any for under $200 (that arent refurbs)?
I got mine brand new from Dell for $199 CDN. And I don't know what you expect to get for less than that? Certainly not a handheld computer. Or were you comparing to a Zire 22?
Pandoras not a competitor until they can actually make one, its hard to get excited about somthing that doesn't yet exist.
The gigabyte M528 is another story, its real and has some real good looking software running on it, the only issue is the price, more than double a n810 from the video i watched.
So likey i won't be buying one if the estimated price is accurate, but since nokia is helping the ubuntu guys with hildon i think its a safe bet our ITs can benefit from the work going into moblin.
Well, I can render anything and say that it would cost nine bucks, but it wouldn't be a real competitor to the NIT Lets see the release of Pandora and only then compare
The new RealPlayer for MID is the first media player on this platform that, out of the box, is enabled to decode most popular and standard media formats (RealMedia, Windows Media, MP3, MPEG4, H.264, AAC, AAC+, VC-1 and Ogg).
More information on the performance we can expect, with specific reference to the Gigabyte M528 and speculation as what this will do to Archos dominance in the niche PMP market. http://www.carrypad.com/2008/04/mids...-end-pmps.html
Is there any point to viewing 1080p on a 800x480 screen? (I mean, even if the processor can handle all the downsampling to make it play, the result will probably look worse than a more modest video that actually fits the width of the screen).
