Anyone want to hazard a guess on the final number of pre-orders? I see Fat 'insider' Angus is estimating 6000. Could it really be that many? Lets be honest, given the understandable concern some people normal people would have about buying a fairly expensive (as yet un-seen) device, selling...

I wonder what proportion of the pre-orderers have donated? Craig - will you be making public the size of the fund? On '30/9' I suspect in the panic people who may have donated didn't just because of the sense of fear if they didn't get the order in within milliseconds, that they may not be in...

Relief and excitement having ordered!! Pandora + donation + tv out in the bag :D Given the extreme slowness of the server (and this forum) I'm guessing the 3000 will sell out pretty quickly. Now the real count-down starts...

You were lucky with your timing. The server seems have ground to a halt. Can choose the items but can't get to the checkout :( And as for those asking about the email - I assume they will wait until the server is working semi-normally rather than compounding the existing problem.

RELAX The original Frankie Goes to Hollywood 80s T-shirt.

Use Avira on one of my PCs and Avast on the other. Much of a much-ness to be honest. I personally moved off AVG a couple of years ago when had problems with one of the new versions. Avast has a funky / very annoying depending on viewpoint voice update each time the database is updated, other...

Talking of sport, did anyone see the Belgian F1 yesterday. Best ending to a race I've seen in a long time - edge of the sofa excitement. Surely Hamilton can't give away the championship a second time...

I think its fantastic - its the one magazine to which I subscribe. Covers a wide variety of systems and lots of interviews, history of etc and the writing is generally good. Have every copy and yet to get bored by it. My only comment is that they probably need to shift their view of what is...

Agree 50%. I have no doubt there will be problems with the first batch. Hopefully they will be small and fixable, but with so many 'moving' parts I would be shocked if nothing is found that couldn't be tweaked to be better in future batches. However, I'm still pre-ordering. You've got to be...

Great to see its getting there... But I couldn't see any markings on the keys :P Can't be long before they have to make a decision on that one... Personally pleased its not my responsibility... going with the recent poll seems the best option. Re the private board pre-pre order, I suspect...

I think Craig said it would have 1 yr warranty, but may be making that up. Odd that suddenly warranties are topic number one - especially as both Craig and Ed have been seen to handle replacements / repairs in the past in a satisfactory manner. But, to the 4 yr assertion... - its actually up...

These are very important questions and I'm disappointed that the devs haven't replied yet. I also want to know the name of the company that will be producing the pandora so I can sue their a$$ off for the delay in the release. The initial frustration has been followed by a deep bout of...

For the gp2x, there was, for the very first adopters, almost nothing. But then again, the first batch purchasers are by definition not noobs. Then Guy Fawkes (if I remember correctly) put together a great pdf, which was regularly updated. For later orders, Craig included a CD with some brief...

Thanks cosurgi for organising this poll and to all the others who took the time to put together a keyboard. Easy to get side-tracked by the 'it doesn't matter, its just a keyboard' or the 'it must / can't have this accent' distractors. The keyboard is one of the things that will make the...

GmbH is the German equivalent of 'Ltd' - ie limited liability company. ie the name is Key Systems. Clearly thats Ed (who runs the German distributor and a key player in the pandora). However, who gives a monkey's what the company is? Evidently there will be a company - and it will be either...

Cosurgi - well reasoned argument (with perhaps exception at taking a pop at Chip). I was previously convinced that including the major special characters was logical but I think you have convinced me otherwise. ie somewhat ironically, the way to make it 'most' international is to actually not...

Just out of interest, given that the keyboard is of optimal use for emulation of Amiga, Spectrum, C64, Amstrad 64, Atari ST etc... How many of these were internationalised? Anyway, I suspect that efegea's idea of supplying a few of the Spanish key developers with a free device (the offer for...
