The problem is, see, I'm not much of a gamer, and the Pandora really is set up to be a gaming machine. But for $356 including shipping, I'm sorely, sorely tempted...
I will resist however. I want the N900. It will be smaller, and it will be Maemo.
OTOH, if there's nothing forthcoming by Christmas time, I will be even more tempted (assuming there are any left to be ordered).

Um, not that you care, but that's... against Visa/Mastercard rules. They are at risk for having their accounts terminated.

The bonus is of course that there's probably going to be lots of infrastructure stuff to hack at - optimising media player, DSP stuff, etc.
[QUOTEI will resist however. I want the N900. It will be smaller, and it will be Maemo.]
I'm also resisting for the time being, the Nokia device will be nicer I think (as in looks & feel) and will have HSPA which would be very useful
Why wouldn't maemo apps, or even the whole Hildon interface and all, work in Pandora?

Can someone tell me why Nokia wouldn't buy this outfit before the 2nd quarter of 2009? They could be very ripe come Spring. If this thing can:
1. hold its price
2. hold its features
3. have a decent open OS/SDK rollout
it might be my if-it-ever-breaks n800 replacement. Except for a camera that I hardly (really never) use, why would I get another n8xx?

(I could search, but I'm too lazy, and Karel loves to talk about any and all things Pandora, so it's a win-win.)

Uh...I think they need to speed up their forum site. Today.
