Heck, 88yen will buy 1 dollar right now... It's REALLY a great time to buy a Pandy in Japan :) (but oh so painful to pay for tuition in dollars ><)

Its okay, I was in the exact same position last year. And look, now I have preordered for the first batch! I'm sure the same thing will happen to you! ... Wait a minute...

Thanks, I feel much better now :)

What if money is already in transit? I sent an international money order a while ago, but there is still another week or two of shipping time before you guys should receive it. I mean, when you guys give me an order number and tell me international money orders are perfectly fine, it would...

I guess you can compare software rendering to analog synths, for those who get me. Even if it is easy to simulate the old school feeling, there's a certain authenticity that comes with the ability to say "no smoke and mirrors here, folks" I am really excited for this :)

I think he was referring to the actual process of packaging 4000 packages... But not to worry, IIRC somebody from The Team is going to do all the manual labor themselves for the first batch... So you will have a lovingly hand-packaged Pandora when it arrives :)

I sent a PM to Craig a week ago asking about getting on the pre-order track for the first batch... He replied (maybe a few days ago), and also gave me a tidbit about expected arrival for the second batch:

I don't see where all this talk of the OP team failing and people losing out with their money. Remember: They presented everything they own as collateral for project funding. You would be surprised to what extent people will go to when everything is on the line. It will be released sometime...

Okay, I'll bite. Any thoughts on what will be used for the actual mic/speaker? Not everybody wants to look like a douchebag and wear a bluetooth headset.

It should be noted! If you add a pin, save and click done, then reload the page and don't find your pin, its probably because you are on the second or third (or fourth? fifth?) page!

Wow, Tokyo has a fairly good showing... There's even somebody conveniently close to me!

This was my argument earlier. While it is true that they will have lots of competition (especially in the coming year as ARM really begins to kick off), OP has the advantage of being able to get one out the door with a relatively cheap development process, due to the fact that the vast majority...

I think that, if it is heavily (and I mean heavily) cut down, like no battery, no screen, not even onboard keyboard to cut the price down by a crazy margin, then it could be feasible under limited runs. There is plenty of competition in this area, as mentioned before, so OP does not have the...

That's my main point I made. Shouldn't really be a problem, though it would be worth researching into how Sony managed to force Lik-sang to go under; isn't the latter a China-based company? I don't know how they did it, but if the method used can also apply to OP, it would be smart to keep a...

In some countries, the laws are really much more on the side of the big companies, and the rule is "if it can be put into a perspective that looks dangerous to the company's assets, the courts will see it as dangerous". The pandora could easily be spun as an unlicensed PSP, where users can play...

I would probably talk with both of them. First you should definitely talk with Peppy, as he can give you all the nitty gritty details necessary for having a 100% accurate port (accuracy timing, .osz file spec, scoring formulas). I took the liberty of starting a thread in their forums seeing...

Yeah funny how time flies. There was always a large amount of support both on this side and on their side, but at the time I mentioned it nobody who could do anything about it seemed interested (though of course Peppy, the one-man dev team expressed an interest, but he has always had a mile lont...

Skype does it at (iirc) $20/month. Depending on your setup, not bad for a home phone I would think (never tried it myself). But to use that with 3g, I think, is taking it a bit far. Especially considering the most accessible way to get 3g (barring stone-age US airwaves) is to just get a phone...

As already mentioned above, Adobe has already thrown their support to ARM and the coming wave of ARM netbooks. I would say it doesn't look as bleak as some may make it sound, though we will be on Adobe's timeframe, which will most likely be linked to the biggest player in the ARM netbook...

I have made this argument several times before, but there really wont be any hardware past what the P has that hits any major milestones quite some time. What can it not do right now? Assuming Doom 3 manages to work at a playable degree, that leaves quite a lot of breathing room for arm ported...
