Okay, as promised, here is a video where I show web surfing with the tiny WiFi stick.
WebKit hasn't been fixed yet so there are little rendering errors, but that shouldn't be a problem and will probably be fixed soon.
I also show Exaile playing streaming some music as well as downloading PNDs directly onto the SD Card and popping up in the menu.

MiniMenu also makes a debut in this video, and also a new PND-Feature: Documentations and Help.

Sorry for the sound and picture quality this time, I was in a rush and the microphone did act up... as well as the brightness was set too high on the camera.

  • @GogetaSSJ4BR, the internal wifi has some kind of fault that they're working out, but to prevent shipping from being delayed even further, they're going to provide the first people with these mini usb sticks and an option to have internal wifi fixed later (unless of course, they find out what's wrong before the first ones are shipped).

  • @geekymarianne if it's a software issue, fixing this should be top priority. if it's a hardware issue, they better speak it out as soon as possible.

    I certainly don't want to receive a faulty unit and have to ship it back later. if I know a hardware fix will do just fine, I rather wait for it. matter of fact, it's better for everyone to wait for it, after >1y of delay!

  • Does the software auto update?

  • Can I find out what USB mini stick you used or at least what chip its based on and maybe other specs. I want a decent one for my laptop and would like to know it works that well on pandora to. I believe that one is wifi N right?

  • Will it support google voice?

  • coole mugge ;-)

  • Rather wait till's finish.....seems to be a nice device thought....

  • gimme it!

    ...pls?

  • The internal wifi bug is solved meanwhile.

    Nevertheless good to know that a USB wifi dongle worked well too, if once needed, for whatever reason (enhancement,...)

  • @cyborgtroy

    Woah, you sure do know your stuff. I've also heard "8x as powerful" too, I guess I better read up a bit on emulation so that I don't make a complete fool of myself...again.

  • @TrolloftheTube - Emulation is very complex business, there are no valid rules of thumb like "2x as powerful" or "3x as powerful".

    There isn't even an agreed way to measure the computing power of an entire system unless you have a very specific task, like adding two 32-bit integers.

  • Oh yeah, does Youtube work on the Pandora yet?
