As a add on to the current SoC, or as a standalone device? Not great for the second, and overkill for the first.

There will be better choices out there in the not too distance future!

<t>OpenGL ES 2, OpenVG are definitely ready to go. With regards to H264 playback we will for the launch be providing a full media player that will play whichever codecs are included. I think there will be some OpenMAX stuff as well, but that is a right royal PITA to use, which is why the media playe...

The SoC should keep going on lower voltages, but at less than 5V all your USB stuff would start to fail. You might also have problems with HDMI.

<t>Quote from johnbeetem on November 10, 2011, 15:30 So explain to me again why I can't go out and buy a nice ARM laptop with a screen larger than 10", while there are myriad x86 laptops that burn through batteries and who knows if they are even capable of running GNU/Linux? Be...

I think shunning isn\'t enough - ostracize and perhaps even excommunicate. As a minimum.

<t>Quote from liz on November 10, 2011, 13:25 You know what *really* sucks, Jamesh? Nokia are giving me a free 710 (or possibly an 800) next month, because apparently I'm an influential social media person. (Sucks for you, I mean.) Doesn't suck that much - I worked on the 701 but the...

I bet it sucks being an Aussie cricket supporter at the moment.

<t>Quote from Pirx-Danford on November 10, 2011, 12:36 Ontopic - wanted to throw in my 2 cents. In the end the rPi is just a piece of hardware and in which scenarios exactly it will be used will be near to impossible to predict. So designing the operating system side in the most...

<t>Quote from jamesh on November 10, 2011, 12:50 I'd not bother with the SoC used on a Pi. However, there are lots of very interesting devices on the horizon from all the Arm manufacturers with much greater processing power (even without the GPU). Now they would be interesting in a server situa...

<t>I'd not bother with the SoC used on a Pi. However, there are lots of very interesting devices on the horizon from all the Arm manufacturers with much greater processing power (even without the GPU). Now they would be interesting in a server situation and that is where HP are coming from. <br...

<t>I'm starting to think that by the time the Raspi has VGA out (6 months at least I would think), that the supply of VGA on CRT and LCD will be dropping dramatically, at least in the UK. Awful lot of CRT's going to recycling now, cannot get rid of them for reuse for love nor money. Although I do ha...

You could just buy a Model A - no ethernet on that. You would need a hub though.

More suckage - had a Nokia 701 which I've been playing with for the last week or so - just had to give it back to marketing. Booo.

I'll tell you what sucks. Morons who drive around in the mist with their lights off, people who go round roundabouts without indicating. Knobs on the Busway cycle path who don't look where the are going.

And that's just today.

<t>There are a number of thread on the forum ocvering this topic. Please use the search option to find them. The Pi has composite and HDMI out, you can plug in what ever you have that has either of those (or DVI-D which is compatible with HDMI). As to the cost of a screen - a s...

Well, you can make Linux boot then run a particular program, so yes, that is possible.

<r>[quote]<s>[b]</s>Quote from pauldow on November 9, 2011, 15:29<e>[/b]</e> Blue LEDs on a Raspberry device? I wouldn\'t think so, unless you\'re thinking of that raspberry flavoring that comes on sno cones. It needs magenta colored LEDs. <URL url="http://www.ledkid.com/?page=...

<t>Well, if you use Monster cables, about a grand. It you use normal cables that do exactly the same thing...a composite cable is a few pence (most people have these lying around anyway). Power supply, a USB one about $1-2 from Ebay - you might have one already from a phone, Wifi dongle a...

<t>At this stage the those libraries are indeed closed, although discussions are ongoing with Broadcom. There\'s quite a lot of IP and manhours in those libraries.... What I don\'t understand though, is why that would be very bad news. They work. I\'ve never looked at the code ...

<t>I've tried a GPS dongle on a Rapsi, not much success so far, but not been able to put much time in recently. I had a kernel build issue which meant it didn't detect USB->Serial devices which is usually what they are. Fixed that, and seems to see dongle at USB level but the gpsmon (or whatever its...

<t>Quote from chip273 on November 8, 2011, 11:46 I also think that a totally moderated appstore would be just wrong. But there is definitively some need for a place for R-Pi compatible software, so that it can be found easily. As for the "projects, code, information, apps & even ...

<t>To be honest, I been using H264 for my latest encodes. Difficult to improve on it, find it halves or more the size of the previous MP4 (which I *think* DivX 6 uses internally anyway, 7 uses H264 internally). Also, started using Handbrake to do my encodes, and it does a better job with ...

Anything with Frikkin\' lasers. Including dolphins. Also, must have blue LEDs.
