Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

It's about as pocketable as my N800 with its PDAir leather case. It probably won't fit in a shirt pocket unless you're oversizing, but other than that it's cool.

VLC player or Mplayer is likely to come preloaded, as is Firefox3. The rest depends on how good your nagging towards developers is.

I'd suggest you visit the Pandora forums and see if any of your wishes have been granted.

I haven't looked around, but how's the bluetooth support for it? Trying to decide if I'll keep with the Nokia and go to the n900 or switch to Pandora.

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Bluetooth will be done by the Bluez Stack I suppose and Nokia contributed a lot to it recently (A2DP ...)

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Assuming it comes with some Angstrom conf files, I'll start building stuff from the OE metadata, so Firefox (or one of the lightweight versions) will be there, mplayer is in there, VLC might be (I can't remember). The Hildon modifications aren't very large so presumably maemo-mapper can be built for a simple GTK+ environment (assuming it's not already able to do so).

I've ordered a Pandora to play around with, but I think I'd prefer the Nokia device (not that I've seen it yet, but from past experience) as a day-to-day device. I'll use the Pandora for hacking on :) (with a view to moving developed code to the N900 I should add - DSP stuff for example)

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Shame I can't afford one, they have piqued my interest greatly.

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Well I also have two 16 GB SDHC cards, so if the next Nokia device doesn't have support for them..

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

I'm so glad they sold out. I was being tortured by the Pandora. Now I can finally relax; I can't buy one!

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

:D

I was considering to buy one as gift... but... :D

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

I love my 810 and I can't wait to see the next device. Even with the horrible camera and video, I use it everyday, to talk to my wife I love the size of my 810 and I can't imagine carrying anything bigger.

That said, I carry around a usb/wifi Logitech game controller in my laptop bag, so I can play on my 810. Well I love having KDE or a real Window Manager environment in my hand, its a hack until Nokia does it, or someone besides me. Debian project is promising but not there yet. I am thinking my Pandora console will be used for gaming, and work . While I will keep my 810 for GPS, Live Video, and home use.

While I love my 810, I want a computer in my hand. I want to install a printer package, not compile one, I want to install KDE not compile it. I want MOST linux apps to just work if I do have to compile them. I am not a developer, nor do I want to be. I also don't want to have to wait for developers. I waited a year before taking things into my own hands. :)

I give Nokia a lot of credit, they have given us of some cool hardware to play with. They have been very open, they have not tried to keep us locked out.

I am very interested in Pandora, it seems to be the first real competition to Nokia tablets, at least to me.

I am still waiting for someone to give me 1024x600

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

While I am sure you made the right decision, I knew I would be regretting it when everyone got theirs and posting reviews. Once I saw Fanoush bought one, I was in :)

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

:p :rolleyes: ;)

How about this one: "Pandora project is promising but not there yet."

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Aww, that's sweet. It's okay, I didn't get you anything either.

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Well this was not meant to be a dig, and I hope it did not offend you. :p

And no Pandora is not there yet, or maybe it is, all I know is its not here yet (in my hands). :rolleyes:

Point still stands, I want a penguin in my pocket. ;)

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

well, better break out the penguinbait. ;)

And you guys are getting me riled up, making me want to purchase one.

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

too late! mwahahahaha!

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

Screw Christmas. The best gift is the one one wasn't expecting. Or heck, able to imagine. :)

Re: Are you getting a Pandora console?
 

I pre-ordered one. However with the coming Nokia Internet Tablet Phone I will not abandon the NIT. I need an upgrade from my Motorola v220.
