Scam. World + dog have all got tablets based on reference designs. What's your USP? If you think you just need a couple of man months software, just look at the effort that went into (and is still going into) the pandora firmware. Android today on a tablet is harder because of the missing...

I think nubs are the only replaceable component that needs to be done by CC. Cables are fitted in the uk even on new units. Faulty boards are, I imagine scrapped or sent to CC for diagnosis. ED was investigating a soldering tool to allow easier nub replacement, but getting that made will take...

I think you are being a little unfair in singling out Craig here. Regardless of precisely what has occurred you have not lost very much (yet) and have probably learnt quite a lot about business. So next time you are looking for a mortgage or pension or double glazing, you might recoup even your...

Today, the factory is still waiting for nubs to build boards which can't be invoiced till they ship. You need to wait for the final nubs to be made, then reach the uk...

Well, you seem to have ordered about a day later than the ones shipping now, and are almost certainly not in the current 350 (but maybe in the next shipment from CC, or at least close). You ought to be able to track the delivery times that get posted (guessing they are a little more spread out...

I was going to respond to your original question, but now I realise that would be a waste of bandwidth. Onwards to Pandora 2...

The production issues are not down to the factory, they are the result of many small problems all appearing and being solved in sequence. Pretty much what you might expect from a small team with minimal previous manufacturing design experience. There is no one factory making these, they have at...

I'm not sure about products using TI silicon, but I'm typing this from a folio100 which has Nvidias tegra2. It is in production, and has all manner of nasty bugs at the moment (shows that even Toshiba have the same promlems that OP have). What happens to the Pandora's niche market in the next...

I think the plan was to ship more than 300 next week (whatever they have achieved in the last 2? days) so that they arrive just as the current 350 get finished. If they can ship 500 or 600 instead of 300 that makes a big difference to the costs, and it also keeps final assembly busy for a few...

Some people never learn the way Craig's mind works. The way you read it has nothing to do with the way Craig wrote it - but if you want to be over optimistic, go ahead. ED confirmed that the boards arrived (somewhere) in the UK on the 29th. Craig has probably collected them by now - and is...

Where does the quote support 'being assembled'? My reading of this is that Craig is expecting the boards to be with him in time to be able assemble and ship them during the week. I can't remember the assembly estimates, but I think it would correspond to a couple of days to finish these ones...

and make sure you know how to compile the drivers - thats why the question is important. Pandora comes without these drivers built-in. edit: http://pandorawiki.org/USB_compatibility_list#USB_WiFi_adapters

Pushed from the LCD side, and it drops out into the space where the lightpipe and mic housing were. So I'm pushing almost along the axis of the hinge, between the two parts of the lid (which might be at risk of breaking, but it was OK for me). It won't go the other way...

:grin: I actually failed to see how you take them apart any other way! All I did was prise open the lid and insert my small screwdriver (which has like a 10cm long 4mm hex bar, and a 2mm diameter end) in through the inside of the hinge. As I remember, it fitted in through the plastic in the...

Odd you say that - I have taken mine apart twice (once for science, once when I got my spare cable), and it still works. Maybe I was lucky, but I just drifted the hinge out using a not very pointy stick, a hammer, and an unusual degree of subtlety. Not sure if I fitted the new cable 100%...

So we're expecting the board company to start putting nubs on the 1000 boards this afternoon (EU time), and confirmation of where they are up to (with fully finished and just SMT populated) by very earl Thursday AM (EU time). At that point we should be able to guess when those first ~1000 boards...

So is it possible to have a daemon re-configure the charging chip if it can detect charge has been at >98% for an hour, and allow the battery to discharge (for 30 min or till it reads <90%)? Not sure if this actually makes life better for the battery or not (is active +/-Q better than static 100%?).

More like 100 boards. 2 nubs on each! Even if they don't ship as a separate batch, it helps to pipe-clean the flow.

I had something similar. I didn't manage to track down the problem, but as I remember it was fixed by replacing /etc from my working OS (for me it was a copy of the OS on SD that failed)

Wifi tether to android 2.2 works fine. Maybe that isn't what you meant?
