Pandora - Prerelease OS Snippet 1

[TrolloftheTube]

That's a pretty awesome looking Pandora. Will we be able to buy this transparent model?

[Fedia1997]

waht is the os for?

[ikemkrueger]

A special gaming console. Google for "Pandora"! :)

[eyeball226]

@Fedia1997: I will answer your question with another question. How would you use it without an OS?

[ikemkrueger]

Nice. But why does it asks twice for username? o.O

0:28 1. full name

0:36 2. short username

[47H10N]

@ikemkrueger  Because it's the first startup

[hbcool100]

I wonder why these types of consoles aren't getting as much attention as other consoles?

[gronikthomas12]

did i see a dead pixel?

[Cellsplitter]

@gronikthomas12 I'm going to give ED the benefit of a doubt and say it's dust/dirt :p

[gronikthomas12]

ah i would hope so :D

[FoxBlitzz]

It's not a dead pixel. It's just a bit of grit on the screen. Look at it while it's still booting up, before it transfers to the First Boot wizard. It's larger than a screen pixel anyway. :)

[Cabroni2]

1:24 PMenu pleasse!

[Aaron16]

What wifi chipset does it use?

[slayergoury]

is there wifi ?

really ?

[me1ne]

moar

[shippo72]

You know, for the price of one of these Pandoras, you can get a low powered netbook with twice the horsepower, and install Linux on that. :D Yay low powered netbooks!

[hamtotem]

but then again, they lack gaming controls and handheld design. it all depends on what you want.

[cyborgtroy]

Yeah but netbooks aren't pocket-sized, and don't go 10 - 12 hours on a single battery charge.

[shippo72]

That was about as interesting as watching paint dry. :P Too bad you can't install Windows XP on Pandora and use it as a music sever.

[TheAtomicCrusher]

*sigh*

Some people just don't get it...

[atiflz]

@shippo72 You don't need winblows for a "music sever"

[djdynamite123]

I guess your not a fan of windows, why? ..

[atiflz]

@djdynamite123 I don't feel like being a fan of some crappy operating system while there are more cpu and memory efficient and more useful alternatives exist.

[djdynamite123]

Uhmm, windows XP uses 0 cpu usage at idle, and maybe 200-300mb memory on idle, 7 on the other hand uses about 800mb memory, vista about 1gb. and 2-4% cpu on idle. Eitherway windows 7 is the future, DX11 not a interest for you? ..... If you don't ever play games as in "good" games, you may aswel run damn small linux lol.

[cyborgtroy]

So sorry, I hit thumbs down, I meant to click thumbs up.

I know what you mean, why would you need Windows for serving anything? Linux dominates servers, it's probably harder to serve anything from Windows..

[EvilDragon1717]

Nope, that was dust :D

[Keyaku1]

Isn't the Pandora any stronger than 600MHz? I thought it could be up to 1.6GHz just like any netbook :(

How strong will it be then?

[cyborgtroy]

Clockspeed isn't everything, 600 MHz is quite decent for an ARM processor.

The Pandora is using nearly the same setup as the iPhone 3GS.

[djdynamite123]

blimey it's been pandora forever, could of had more of a teaser showing the full desktop...

[atomicthumbsV2]

ED: instead of removing the comments of trolls, you should leave them so we can hammer them into the ground.

[EvilDragon1717]

I didn't remove anything :)

Never did on any youtube video ;)

[atomicthumbsV2]

Oh, I misread "deleted by author". :P

[dbgtrgr]

I just jizzed in my pants a little there.

[crasherball]

cooooool

[jonathanrpritchard]

Loving the high quality video.

[geckojsc]

"Thanks for buying the OpenPandora"

Isn't that the name of the company, not the console? Other than that, this looks great! You guys are awesome!

[K4z3yu]

Boob Wizard?

Other than that it looks awesome, would have been nice to see how it loads up xfce or pmenu rather than just having that cliffhanger ending

[lilskaterpunk]

Boot Wizard lol

[maxtervan]

i want one!!

but i don't have money =(

[EpicNPC]

Best self given Christmas present yet.

[Alxegod]

I take that the boot will be much quicker on next boots after the first one, the skin will be less generic GTK and so? :)

I'd die for one of these.

[offgoingon]

lol at 1:40

"that it for the boob wizard"

[offgoingon]

I WANT

evil

why is there a random n on the second window before do

does the Username have to be short (how many characters)

it also says thanks for buying the Openpandora is that its name (I thought it was just Pandora)

[geckojsc]

Oh. The \n is because when you are programming, \n is supposed to create a new line. Often people accidentally write /n, and this does nothing special, it will just be printed onto the screen with all the other text.

[nabz32x]

very intereting, this should satisfy me until the pictures of the first real Pandora arrive.

Good work ED

[borgqueenx]

Pandora - Prerelease OS Snippet 2 any time soon? :D

thanks for the video :) and the background is also perfect for starting the pandora for the first time.

btw: 1:40: "thats it for the boob wizard" :P

[ichi1082]

nice, can't wait to see more
