Who'll be the first to post a Pandora smashing video on YouTube?

Winning the eBay auction for the only Pink Pandora in existence: Priceless. :lol:

Yeah, I've kind of accepted it as inevitable, but it would surely mean less community support for Pandora. Hopefully by then all the software for the Pandora will be humming along smoothly. As the first Pandora, I think the design of the second one will materialize once there are sufficient...

Did you mean the 2nd batch, or really a new Pandora design? This would be equivalent to saying you wouldn't buy a PlayStation, but would rather wait for the PS2. You could almost say the Pandora is "2nd generation" to the GP devices, being a combination of improvement over these devices and...

We shouldn't take Craigix's hyperbole at face value. He doesn't necessarily have the time to fully qualify his statements, but is usually fairly easy to infer. You have to consider what he said in combination with what ED said. While I'll concede Craigix did say: while Evil Dragon said it...

Very true, and another definition of "obsolete" : when support for it ends. How do you make obsolete a device that is community-supported?

I thought we learned back in the 80s that by the time you buy a computer, it's already obsolete. If you define the term "obsolete" by the age of its components and the power of newer similar components on the market, then yes, it's obsolete and it sucks to be you because you'll never, ever be...

... unless some "after-market" desktop comes out with serious advantages over the default. I will start by checking out the default, and see if it works nice enough for me. If it's clunky, uncomfortable or unsuitable for left-handers (hey anything is possible in this day and age), then I'll...

It's been discussed too many times. The idea is always the same. Make some upgrades, and soon, stuff will come out that only runs well on those upgraded systems. That pisses off earlier buyers. It's OK for the PC gaming industry, but not the console industry, where if you pick up a a game...

I'm from Canada and we get a clear and complete picture of how all US people are through the tiny aperture of society referred to as a device called "Television". Whenever I hear a US citizen say the expression "America", in my head this translates to the "United States" of said "America"...

Ho. Lee. Crap. That's small. Got jeweler's lenses?

And speaking of battery and vibration... During an assembly video, the battery was installed simply by plopping it into the back of the Pandora, with no clicking connector. What would happen if the Pandora were to be shaken (such as when playing more frantically)? Could the weight and...

By asking these questions, you are also illustrating your lack of knowledge with the progress of the project, information which is openly discussed in these forums. This possibly also invalidates some of the premises you may have stated to your lunch contact. And based on these possibly...

If downloading large files over WiFi is too slow (I never expect WiFi to be reliable nor secure due to my tin foil hat), I'm going to copy them to SDHC directly on my PC instead. Edit: Or maybe over OTG, if that proves to run at a nice speed.

If I interpret this correctly, do you mean that for the boards already populated, Michael will be making a manual adjustment (God bless his patience!); and for all future not-yet-populated boards, the factory will be doing the fix right from the start of the manufacture?

Yes, but whose avatar was displayed first? :D

I'm curious to know what possible scenarios OP is looking at in the case where a hardware issue has been identified, and some Pandoras have already been shipped. I wouldn't mind having to ship mine back for a board replacement. Even if it's a few quid. I realize OP may have to take a...

While I'm sure you're perfectly competent and possess the fine motor skills required to assemble some of the more delicate parts of the Pandora, Paddy, there are others unfortunately who are often overconfident and underestimate the required skill level. Say out of 500 people who accept to...

Good idea, it would suck to have to ship (let alone carry) one of these dongles.

If there are developers/hackers (read:not crackers) among the first 1000 to get a Pandora with the broken WiFi, I bet there can be more ground covered on debugging it. I wonder what's the approximate date+time the 1000th Pandora was ordered...
