They're going with a 10-100hr battery instead, custom-made, last we heard. The Wiki needs to be updated. I'll do it later today, but in case anyone else wants to do it... :)

Hi, uhm... My freind, hes really depressed. He says he wants to get to test one of the development units, and he knows its just a dream. Hes suicidal, and told me he was goijng to kill himself because his life sucks, and he couldnt ever afford to buy a pandora. could you please send me one so I could give it to him, when they are sent out? Please......
 
evanwehrer(AT)gmail(DOT)com  His birthday is also in a few weeks, but his family is too poor to afford a big gift. This would mean alot to me and much more to him.
 
  
:Send him my condoleances in advance. This place is not for irrelevant rubbish talk, and the Pandora is neither a little kids thing. Just wait for the beta shipment after the first dev shipment and try to order such one, or just wait for the re(t)a(i)l version, like everyone else. And don't post this nonsense in ''every'' page, please. --[[User:SharQueDo|SharQueDo]] 11:58, 17 April 2008 (CEST)

Does this hardware do A2DP encoding?  One big problem I had with the Openmoko Freerunner is that it would support A2DP headphones through bluetooth, but only if you did it in software through ALSA or gstreamer via the bluez stack, which would chew up a bunch of CPU and the audio would skip if ever the system needed the CPU time for something else.

Battery Inaccurate

They're going with a 10-100hr battery instead, custom-made, last we heard. The Wiki needs to be updated. I'll do it later today, but in case anyone else wants to do it... :)

The official forums....

Are the official forums the gp32x ones? i think that the official forums are the openpandora ones..... correct me if i'm wrong.

font

The Pandora font seems to be really close to WerkHaus Medium according to What The Font: http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/images/pandora_werkhaus_medium.gif If you replace the 'a' with a 'd' whose stem has been chopped and round all the sharp corners slightly, you arrive at the final result, I think. --Intvnut 07:29, 13 May 2009 (CEST)

A2DP Encoding

Does this hardware do A2DP encoding? One big problem I had with the Openmoko Freerunner is that it would support A2DP headphones through bluetooth, but only if you did it in software through ALSA or gstreamer via the bluez stack, which would chew up a bunch of CPU and the audio would skip if ever the system needed the CPU time for something else.

I got a Nokia N900 instead and it seems to do its A2DP encoding in hardware so I was able to find a good open source solution for listening to my podcasts, but I'm also interested in this device.
