@TheGoodDoktor Like the gist of your post, especially if a way of collaborating towards bounties is possible like you suggest. +1 for the DSP accelerated OpenAL implementation, great idea!

A concrete release date has never been set AFAIK (not yet anyway), so no changes in that respect. However, the team has a rough idea of the timescales involved in getting the Pandora completed. See here: http://www.openpandora.org/ QUOTE So, here is a mini-roadmap: * Case Design: January 15th *...

@jakexgt You will certainly be able to use a cheap USB camera (or possibly even the camera on a mobile phone through Bluetooth) and VoIP software (though not necessarily Skype) on Pandora. In other words, you can do what you were hoping to do. However, if you must have an in-built camera your...

@hedwards Unfortunately it is now clear that this 30 day CC re-ordering window for the 1st batch is not possible. See here: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=46235 See here: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=46236

They don't know it yet. They will let us know it after the final prototype is finished. I'm sure they'll try to give people a reasonable amount of time to re-order but if you don't want to leave things until the last minute, pick one of the re-order options listed by craigix here and sort...

AAAARRRRRRFGGGGHHHHHHFHFGHGHHH!!! How many times does this need to be explained, it is NOT fair to say the experience has cost you because the team is only expecting you to pay the amount you were refunded, no more, no less. Just paint whatever money you received as 'Pandora money' and you'll...

Good question. Craigix, I really appreciate your update. Other than needing the answer to authoreyes question (i.e. whether people will be able to use CC payment if excess stock is made available), I think you've covered all the payment options we need to hear about. Some sort of deadline for...

a200, please explain how you will lose money by re-ordering? As Bosbeetle says you just have to give back the same amount you were refunded, even if that is less than the original price. You only lose money if you don't re-order.

Whilst I voted to indicate I'd prefer those waiting to pay by CC should wait for banking issues to be resolved, the gift certificate option is certainly better than the CD option, because if the worst happens and the Pandora can't be produced, at least you'll have a voucher for GBAX, which you...

@all Still think that if we're prepared to drop the idea that your place in the pre-order queue must be maintained at all costs then all the problems with the current payment situation will go away. Why no one else seems to be really picking up on this is beyond me.

Chip, what about the gift voucher idea?

Ah, but that's not what the CC fans are asking for. They want a way to ensure they'll get their money back, no matter what. For those that trust the OpenPandora team gift vouchers are the perfect solution (notice I put a +1 in my post above). For those who believe the Pandora is too risky and...

@all Maybe I'm missing something here, but the only reason these payment issues can't be resolved more cleanly is to do with holding on to this ideal of everyone who pre-ordered keeping their place in the cue. If we agree to drop this pre-order cue idea then we can all have our cake and eat it...

Eh? Those 'first ones off the line' ARE the test boards!!! The point I was trying to make (to lobski originally) was that Pandoras weren't in production somewhere right now, including the test boards. Does it really take two weeks (for that is the amount of time we have left until the end of...

MP = Mass Production, so the quote was not taken out of context. You don't test mass production after you've started it.

I can't see why anyone would be forced to use a credit card, though for some it may offer benefits (esp. if bank transfers are not easily/cheaply performed). In other words, there are always options, even if current opinion seems to suggest you must wish to stay on one side of the payment...
