There’s something for (nearly) everyone in this video, as Skeezix shows off his own apps Kronos and BattleJewels, launches a video in Mplayer (don’t worry, there is a GUI for that, he’s just not using it), and throws in a bit of file browsing and PND recognition for good measure. He also gives us his take on the current state of software, in the brief text below.
Some real-world stuff here 
When EvilDragon posted some status updates, some folks loved it, some did not — its a new device, a niche target, for hackers and joe public alike. Some features are rough around the edges, but most of the device works great. Still, thought I’d show a few real world scenarios – run a couple games and apps.

Only a Pandora developer could make a bunch of empty boxes sound enticing. As the latest test cases make their way to Canada for evaluation, EvilDragon briefs us on what we hope are the final stages of this long, nutty journey. (Some of this stuff you’ll know from a recent MWeston post). All aboard the hype train then Try to contain your excitement though, as we wait to find out if the light at the end of the tunnel is a green one.
This week should be an interesting week. The next (and hopefully final) sample cases should arrive at Michaels place. We’re all excited, as they will look so much better than the already good-looking cases we already got.
In the meantime, while it has been quiet around here, a lot of other things have happened.

Trevor Bradley has been working on an impressive looking game for the Pandora. He describes it as a noncombat, real time space exploration game. The goal of the game is to find a hidden prize artifact in a galaxy of 40,000,000 stars, which is divided into 10,000,000 sectors of space before your friend does. Sound impossible? Well, apparently it isn’t. You explore the various sections of space looking for different artifacts, then selling them to aliens who will either give you cash to upgrade your ship, or information about the location of the prize artifact. As you collect this information, you rule out large sections of space until you’re left with a small area to easily find the prize.
Currently, he’s trying to clean up the code enough so it’ll run at a decent frame rate on the Pandora, however if he’s unable to he says he might just release it for the PC. Either way, this will be a very cool game!
More pics after the break.
UPDATE: You can now download a pre-alpha binary from here (Windows/Linux)
Note: This is not a complete version, so expect some bugs. Also, Trevor would like to keep this within the community, so don’t redistribute it. Be sure to read his post before you download.

Viridior and the Gentoo team are making good progress. They now have a detailed wiki page. Clearly a lot of effort is going into this project.

Adventus has been working on a game called SuperLumenal. He hasn’t worked out all the details, but the basic idea of the game is to use enemies as human shields and weapons against other enemies. Still work to be done but it sounds like it’ll be a great game!

Mali posted this on the forums:
Ångstöm boot time:
“Booting from SD takes 8 seconds, booting from NAND(yes, the first NAND-OS version is available) takes 40 seconds with JFFS2 – we will try another file system, looking at the specs it should be possible to boot in 10-12 seconds from NAND” -ED
1. NAND booting time was also slow on OMAP2.
2. Here is a benchmark of beagle board’s NAND
