The Pandora will site QUITE HAPPILY open like a laptop so you can watch films etc. on it or type. Didn't I show it sitting like that in several videos? I've certainly left it like that running various MAME games many many times just for my own entertainment (I don't know why, I just like to watch them running).

It is designed to be used to play games FULLY OPEN - you won't want to use it any other way because of the screen angle - and fully open is where we have the hinge 'lock'.

There is no ridiculous conspiracy here. As if we would have the time to fake all those videos.

Craig, I feel for you. It's at times like these you wish you had a reallllly big gun.

I'm not sure if this is a silly question or not but anyways...

The USB socket is on the back right? With the screen fully open how big (tall) a dongle type device can fit in a usb socket? For example some Freeview TV USB cards are quite chunky as are some memory sticks etc?

I'm not sure on how big of a device you can put in it.
I'd say a normal USB Flash would fit as the screen sits above the lower case.

I don't think you could reasonably use one of them larger video (capture) dongles though, at least not with the screen flat. I have one which I would think is too big.

It's much thicker than it looks. Shit all drivers for it, too.

I'd love a nice DTV card that has drivers and will work with Pandora!

I don't see it as a major problem, since you can easily get short USB extension cables

- Thanks to notaz, we now got a working battery meter. You can also configure warnings and automatic shutdown

Oh, I almost forgot: Notaz RULEZ!

I have one of these. Its an easycap usb capture device. This came packed with a short usb extension cable. I would rather not risk plugging something like this right into the pandora as it would more than likely break the board if it was knocked. Just whilst we are on the topic of the above piece of hardware, i plan to use my the easycap device in my VJ gigs to capture my live sets. Does anyone know if there are any linux drivers for this?

Sorry about stuttering, repeating and general English fail (it's "disconcerTing"...); still think Cartoon Network and computer games did a decent job teaching me.

Can't wait until they're easy to buy (and/or more importantly; I have the cash ready)! It's like it was made just for me.
