My point is that it isn't as simple as 1 difference. And that difference isn't modular. There is not 1 difference between N800 and N810 either; each has their strong sides and userbase.
Yes, but there is only 1 difference between the N810 and N810W! So Nokia has and can make a phone N900 and a tablet N900. Oh SNAP! And there is microphone via 3.5mm on the touch.

Not that the N810W was any good....

Quake3 engine looks like it runs really well on OMAP3/pandora. And there are tons of maps and source ports for it too. Pretty amazing it does all the lighting effects and manages to run a few bots and still keeps up speed.

Maybe nokia will release a connector cable to run two rovers in SLI mode for 960x800.

I would hope we can get some network support on both ends, so I can play you from my pandora

Lets port only the server to rover! Then we can both connect to it from a pandora to free up cpu cycles for rendering

Well i hope nokia releases a tablet but pandora looks like good homebrew device and i want a testbed to stress the hardware... not cram the hardware to support a form factor. Once the harware limits are found, then it might be nice to cram that into a (more) portable form factor.

Well, it looks like I can still get it in my pocket, and now I don't have to carry around a usb joystick

The faster OMAP3 hardware should allow for emulator games! I know the N8x0 can kinda do them now, but they are not without their issues!

I wonder if it can do PSX and N64 given the 3D acceleration....



YARR!

As long as it (Pandora or Rover) doesn't play Crysis... it is useless to me as gaming machine...

Thanks, but the interview was kinda iffy. I am too out of practice with some tech. : / On the other hand I had a pre-interview test with another company today that seemed to go well, and yet another company called to set up an interview for Monday.

But I am suddenly wishing I'd never dropped that non sequiter into this mix... although maybe an occasional distraction is useful?
