All kinds of exciting things are happening in the Pandora universe, and now one enterprising individual has succeeded in getting Ubuntu 7.04 up and running on his development model. Things move pretty slowly, and no luck yet with Firefox, but the thrilling video does catch him playing with GIMP and the Xfce desktop environment. See for yourself after the break.
[Thanks, Stern]

According to recent statistics, girls can like, totally rock now. Thankfully, PDP has teamed up with Radio Disney mainstays Aly & AJ to create some seriously rockin’ game controllers for the
PS2 and
Wii. Due out mid-October and priced at a rockin’ $69.99, tweenage Guitar Hero and Rock Band fans can choose either the rockin’ pink Strat-looking guitar with red skull and crossbones motif, or the totally rockin’ pink heart-shaped guitar with purple zebra print. Check out the rockin’ video after the break. And rock on!

But that ain’t all — the Internet Channel has got a little upgrade in the form of Adobe Flash Lite 3.1, just the thing for all your YouTube needs.

Other features include advanced learning (for gleaning button assignments from your other remotes) and support for more than 400 brands of standard and HDTV televisions and flatscreens, 150 VCR brands, 200 Satellite Receiver models, 100 Cable TV Receiver brands, 50 DVR models and 200 home theater surround sound systems.

And you know what This is a pretty cool idea for a device, even if the company’s website leaves us frightened and confused. ODROID is a 3.5-inch (320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen) concept that sports a 600MHz Samsung S5PC100 ARM Cortex A8 CPU, HDMI output (720p), composite video output, microSD and SD card slots, and WiFi bg. We’re not entirely sure when (or if) this thing will see the light of day, or for how much, but you’ll know as soon as we do.
