Well the 30th certianly is going to rank as one very intresting day :) ! I don't think all the pandoras will be sold out on the first day, however. There's enough for everyone. I'm guessing on the 1st day there will be several "spikes" of pandoras being sold (e.g. some people trying to order...

Only thing that concerns me is that if a whole load of people try to pre-order the pandora on the 30th online all at the same time one (or more) of the servers running the pre-order site might go down? Lots of people trying to access one site at the same time usually makes said site/server run...

With any luck they should work :) ! I have some amiga disks here too, the oldest ones must date from around '87 or '88. They all work fine, and that includes the (copy of) workbench I always used to use on my WB1.2 A500. Again of '87 or '88 vintage and used *regularly* (i.e. several times a day)...

Some programs will be better written than others. Plus one thing I Thought of - nobody outside of the developers really know how well (or otherwise) the pandora would run already existing programs (e.g. firefox). For example, I read that firefox on pandora needs to be optimised. Does that mean...

As others have said, it's only taken 20 years for there to be a really *portable* amiga! But it looks good. These days much better for playing old games rather than old apps but still not bad. It's either that or well.....try fitting an Amiga 500 into an old SX64 case and carry that about...

I'd like to see it connect to my wireless network. That'd be pretty intresting, a device that small and it works just like your ordinary desktop PC and it dosen't cost a fortune! It will also be intresting to see how things pan out with regards to speed, usability, durability, reliability, etc...

From memory, aren't some ebooks propietary and/or protected by DRM ( yuk!) so they wouldn't work? ljones

I agree with the last few posters, i.e. when it's ready it's ready. As for any new videos that'll be most welcome :) . Making the pandora, setting up everything, software etc it all must be a pretty long-winded and complicated process. Let's think of it this way if this were a sony or nintendo...

Going back to bluetooth headphones - if that dosen't work there is one other way to listen to music - partially wirelessly from the pandora. Unfortunatly this method is pretty rubbish x.x but it would work. The answer? Grab a hold of one of those little "mp3 transmitters" and while you're at it...

I'm aware of the old "never buy the first version of anything" mantra, but just this once I'm going to make an exception for the pandora. It's a community based open source device which ticks almost all my boxes - open source+linux+gpl etc, as far away from windows as possible, tiny, has a...

Intresting :) and although (d'oh!) I am going OT for just a second here -- although this device ( http://www.old-computers.com/museum/comput...?st=1&c=356 ) the atari portfolio wasn't ment for games it was a tiny little PC only slightly bigger than the pandora -c. 1989! (Still have one of these...

x.x I had *completely* forgotten about the cybiko! From memory as the poster said they had a propietary wireless system, so it never worked as do normal wireless systems today. Wasn't the whole cybiko thing killed off by mobile phones? ljones

No the pandora won't be flawless, though I think its developers and makers are doing a good job (Given the nature of the release), so it will have as few flaws as possible. Of course there will always be one or two minor niggles but every piece of hardware you can buy will have those. On the wiz...

Well I was thinking along the lines of portable, but the mega PC is the closest thing I could think of - it isn't portable but it is ment for games and computing. ljones

Ok, this might sound like a silly question :) but is the pandora the first of its kind? From memory, I can't recall anything else like it - that is something that combines a computer and a games console. I understand there are ninendo consoles out there and UMPCs and oqo's out there but I can't...

If pandora came with WinCE or any other version of windows, I wouldn't be getting one at all - ever. Unless you're running wince it'll mean x86, which means power hungry hardware. Also as others have said, this is an open source device and windows isn't open source. A "Pandora" running windows...

QUOTE "A complete desktop environment is already up and running – Ubuntu will run on the Pandora." Does that mean we now know what the pandora's OS will either be, or be based on in the end? ljones
