Very good news!

You can tell its a full moon tonight. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=1q4Wn63uof8[/media]

I've dissassembled plenty of handheld devices with double sided tape and plastic capture clips. I'd say that the majority of LCD's have double sided foam or plastic tape in them. Its all a matter of the proper dissassembly tools, usually including thin plastic wedges and strips applied in the...

This is exactly the sort of geek-fu that the Pandora makes available. This is exactly why I ordered this thing, and have waited patiently all this time. There is simply no other portable device with this kind of open environment. As Monty Burns says, EExxcelent....

Does this mean that Fatih has contacted the factory about the remaining 9000 case order being approved?

Yes, I really think they should hold off on ordering the other 9000 cases until this is sorted out. Should only take a few days to make it absolutely, utterly, perfect, right?

As to the "sloppy" screen protectors, I would guess that the original protector sheet shipped with the LCD's is peeled off, the LCD mounted in the Pandora lid, and the protector sheet is reapplied to the screen. This is how I'd do it. Perfectly sensible, if my conjecture is correct.

I'm hoping to get some closeup photos of the newly received cases. Did they all meet expectations? Is OP going to go ahead and order the big batch of 9000 cases?

I suggested in another thread that OP could refrain from painting some of the 10,000 case sets in order to sell them to modders. I hope Craigx and ED will consider doing this. My suggested price for the unpainted extra case set would be $80. I think that price point would appeal to modders and...

I hope some of the 10,000 cases will be ordered without the paint job. OP could make some nice extra cash by selling the raw cases to modders. I'd suggest $80 for an unpainted extra case. I'd pay that in a second. Good luck, and let us know as soon as the courier picks up the first case batch.

Don't the nubs need to be soldered to the PCB's as well? Don't the LCD cables have to be taped up with kapton foil tape for EMI shielding? I would think there would be plenty to do to get the PCB's and LCD's ready for installation prior to receiving the cases. And I'd sure like to hear about...

The spray moistens the interface between the shield film and the LCD, allowing air to be displaced when you squeegee the film in place. While there is still moisture there, you can easily work out any bubbles left after the application. Then, over the next few hours, the spray evaporates out...

As long as products like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162030&Tpk=WLI-UC-GN are available for less than $30, I'm not going to sweat this too much. It is a very, very small WIFI module with reportedly very good Linux driver compatibility. Hell, you even get the...

Sounds nice, but every US provider I've dealt with disables Bluetooth DUN on their phones. I know ATT and Verizon do, at least. They want to sell you a smartphone or an aircard, so they disable this very useful function. I hate monopolies...

Craigix, The idea for the streaming webcam of the production hall is genius. You must really do this, the goodwill to the community and the publicity in the electronic gadget blogs will be priceless. I too will happily hit the Paypal button when the streaming video of production is started...

I used the Amiga for digital photography. It had the then amazing HAM (Hold and Modify) mode which gave it 2096 colors. I bought the video digitizer, which used a color wheel to make digital copies of my photos. Then, I got the Casio VS-101 still video camera, which recorded images onto special...

June 1st?

Open Pandora better get on it. These sorts of devices are starting to pop up. 600Mhz processor, is it an ARM? WVGA screen Game controls I'm sure other potential competitors are on the way. http://www.engadget....s-an/2#comments

Why does this image have a clutch assembly in the center?

I'm wondering why the nubs are not attached at the time of component assembly. Seems weird that they would have to reheat the board just to attach another surface mount device. Its like not attaching the SD card slots or the headphone jack. Anybody know why they appear to be doing it this way?
