This is exactly what happened to me. It didn't exactly make a good first impression. If I remember right, I had to reflash the OS before it would install to the SD card instead of the NAND. PS: Do NOT install Chromium, it will lock the device solid.

That one just crashes when you tell it to get the list from the repository. How do PND's actually work, anyway? Are they mounted as a filesystem or something? How would I go about manually running the program inside to see the console output or run strace on it?

Apologies, it's a Sandisk Extreme. The Lexar was a CF card I use on one of my laptops (via a PATA->CF bridge). Unpacking was done using infozip on OSX 10.6. It did work correctly the second time around. Fair enough. At the time it was the default option provided by PNDstore, though. One...

Yeah, I tried that too, sadly it didn't help. However, clearing down the card again and reflashing the system (again) seems to have made it behave itself, so it looks like the rootfs was corrupted somehow. Obviously the design issues taking up the bulk of the rant still apply and it would be...

Yeah, I've been through that, twice now. The card is a class 10 Lexar which I successfully used as the root filesystem on an AC100, so I'd be surprised if the card itself is at fault. Reflashing the OS again sounds worth a try, though.

Okay, my initial experience with the Pandora has been... well, something of a disaster, so pardon me if I vent a little. I'll gloss over the bit about WiFi not working on the installed OS, the fact that there's no quickstart guide installed, the 'please enter your name' dialogue not having...

IIRC I was 72 in the queue, I have now got my confirmation email. Which is good, because I was hoping to have the thing for my transatlantic flight in June (and have been so hoping every June since 2009 :3 )

Yeah, Jacqueline sent me the followup a week or so later.

I imagine Rosegarden would work, memory/swap permitting. It works best with external sound modules, though (i.e. USB->MIDI bridge).

I had big doubts about its viability then, yes...

There's only one version currently in production, the 512MB version. This is actually because you can no longer get the 256MB memories, though that aside it's a nice upgrade to have (256MB was always a concern for me because I'd like to use it desktop-style)

Done. Looks like my original order was on 2008-10-04, evidently I dithered over it a bit.

Thanks.

Great work, guys! Is there currently a way to upgrade queue positions, out of interest? I originally ordered from Craig.

Thanks, that's handy to know. One of the reasons I finally got an account here was because I was wondering whether we were supposed to bug Craig or you about changing the dispatch address...
