Could you elaborate more on how you develop on a Pandora? I'm quite interested. Do you hook up an external monitor and keyboard?

  No, that's what I meant (reading back, I didn't actually say that; I just thought it during writing); they didn't deliver cables for the monitors yet :) I have the components to make one, but didn't get to that yet (it's none standard and probably I'll just get theirs when they finally created it). When i'm behind an actual desk I just work on it via another computer or via github (depends where I am). But i'm often 'on the road' (which can be actually on the road OR walking in the mountains) and then I just program straight on the little thing. It's actually quite comfortable if there is not a lot of sun. But yet it's very much the opposite of high resolution so it takes more planning what you are going to do, but for algorithmic work and hard problems nothing beats mountain walks and then typing/testing on that thing. And the occasional Crash Bandicoot III play of course. For me the optimum config would be something like an OpenPandora (before it I had (have actually) the Zaurus c860 which did the same minus the games) with a docking 'station' or, but now i'm dreaming as it seems nothing comes close to this yet, AR glasses with a sufficiently high resolution connected to it. I have been experimenting with a Twiddler 2 (http://www.handykey.com/ http://www.handykey.com/); everyone complains that it's too slow for typing, but again, when you are thinking up stuff which are not kilometers of boring (crud) coding typing speed, imho, doesn't matter too much. And I can type while walking with it, but no AR (or actually VR) yet.
