    Shipping On The 4Th?

    To be fully accurate (and pedantic), what you keep seeing is that 1000 were expected to be be picked up yesterday. We've heard no confirmation that they were picked up or even that they were produced. However, as WS^ says, it's certain they have not made more than 1000.

    Your Place In The Preorder Line?

    I've been suspecting that the queue position might not mean much when push comes to shove, or indeed that OP does not even have an actual 'list'. I just hope 2 things; that it's pretty close to the queue order when they get sent out and that the battery stickers with the serial numbers are in...

    Shipping On The 4Th?

    ^ I see way too many variables to even guess what the rate might be. Personally I'm itching to see them just produce the first one. The big question for me right now is whether the case factory finally came through on shipping some cases. I hope, but I doubt...

    Shipping On The 4Th?

    He means the 4th amendment to the constitution. ...no, that doesn't make sense... He means the 4th dimension. It's difficult for us to conceptualize what that means, since we only exist in 3 dimensions. But imagine for a second a 2 dimensional man living in 'flatland'. He's expecting a...

    Nub-Settings Video

    This has all got me thinking about what my preferred usage might be, and I wondered; can the modifier keys be used to modify: the nubs screen drag screenclicks dpad action buttons triggers i.e. can Fn+Nub Up be any different from Nub Up? Is a right-click possible using the stylus? I think...

    Wait What?

    1983 Oscar nominated movie starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. It's a gritty but heartwarming drama about alcoholism and women's lib in Northern England. Craig mentioned it so off-hand that I had the image of him starting every morning be watching it :)

    Wait What?

    My favourite part of this whole saga was Craig waking up early to watch 'Educating Rita' to start his day...

    Wait What?

    1000 cases at first for final final review. And then the other 10000 cases. But yeah, if Craig's earlier posts are right they should have the STUFF to build 700 or 800 Pandoras next week. The boards, yeah all the currently made boards will need to be modded once they arrive. The rest will just...

    Wait What?

    Well I think the shipment as a whole should contain the first 700(Might be 800ish to include the first 100 burn-in test boards?) boards and all the other bits that the board factory would have used to assemble them, if they were still doing that. So, 4000+ LCDs, 8000+ Nubs and boards.

    Wait What?

    There are three possibilities: Not all of the boards shipment has been delivered, the rest being in parts unknown All the board shipment was left at the garden centre and then everything except what Craig could fit in his normal-sized car was stolen. An evil consortium known as TROLE and led...

    Wait What?

    but how would Craig know about that?

    Wait What?

    Now I have a couple of pictures in my head that cannot be unseen: All the boards in a huge pile in the neighbour's driveway - the way gravel is delivered. Craig's gonna have to get over there with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. Someone "walking off" with a 1 Ton delivery. HULK STEAL! The...

    Daily Updates?

    Given the choice between getting an update that said the same thing as yesterday (and the days before) and getting no update, I'd take the former. Psychologically speaking, it's reassuring. When I click a link in a browser - I see a little animated picture that lets me know things are going...

    Daily Updates?

    Hmm, let me see. Would I rather get an update every day OR not get an update every day? I just can't see the logic in NOT WANTING to get a daily update. Will we get a daily update? Doubt it. But seriously, why on earth come to these forums if you don't want updates?

    Selling A Preorder Slot On Ebay

    It'll certainly be interesting to see how much it goes for. After all he's not just selling a 'Pandora', he's selling a 'Pandora delivered ASAP' which arguably is more valuable. My view on this is it's supply and demand - if the market will bear a higher cost than was originally paid there is...

    Beta Mythtvplayer

    Pickle, this is awesome, I wasn't expecting any pre-release mythtv stuff. Here's hoping that the WIFI can keep up with you. I've used mythtv player back when I had a working windows pc and I think this is a really smart way to handle it. Even a standalone mythfrontend installation is overkill...

    Putting A Cellphone In This Thing?

    I always have high hopes for this thread every time it comes up... It's funny, this seems to be the issue that gets the most negative responses along the lines of 'why would you want that?'. People always chime in with descriptions of what a Pandora IS and IS NOT, ridiculous other things that...

    Ok It's The 26Th, Can We Have An Update?

    More Speculaas... but i'd guess once there is a confirmed hardware fault, those boards might be viewed as "non-wifi" and be sold at a lower price as ED mentioned.
