Wow that was fast.

[Kyosys]

when did you give the interview?

[PoisonedV]

Never a dull moment

[ashdjones]

Great interview, how come stuff like this wasn't in an official FAQ?

Even the Prime Minister has Question Time!

Great interview. It's more details and information like this that will push myself and other's into picking up a Pandora.

I really want to be part of the initial "3000", but my concerns is with being part of that early adopter group. I really would like to see more details about future production volumes.

Doom3 would be at the limits of what you could expect from the 3D hardware, but remember it would be at a lower resolution on the Pandora and also although ID have said it will go open source, it isn't yet, and I did write that it isn't open source yet in the interview, it would also need some hacking to lower the RAM needed, although they did get it running on the Xbox with 64MB.

I thought the Xbox version was a complete rewrite?

"A complete desktop environment is already up and running – Ubuntu will run on the Pandora."

Does that mean we now know what the pandora's OS will either be, or be based on in the end?

[magicman5421]

ubuntu?!
wow...
actually confirmed. that's quite something.
and 5 bucks says the pandora sells out less than a week after preorders start.

Good stuff. Though Craigix, from my uberlurking over the past year or so, I'd assumed you and Michael were already discussing things before Jadon brought up the possibilty of the OMAP? Or had you not known he was a pcb designer before Jadon made the original offer?

Good to hear thanks duddy and craig

Doom 3 has been supposed to release for a while now so its anyones guess as to when. Its really not important with all the other stuff we already have though. Xreal might be a possibility too.
