UPS just mailed me to remind that the price I paid was without tax :( 2 months is now officially 2 days. (Ordered at ~day 1, but was slow to confirm my order and missed the last batch of cases)

Finally. Now, what's the software situation?

I'd like more data, but I understand it is no use at all for predicting the future deliveries. I'm about 12 hours past the last update, so I'm guessing two months is about right... The next update probably will leave my estimate unchanged...

I just noticed (after 9 months) that this thread was pinned, and there are actually other updates to read...

Is everyone in the same group as regards shipping/orders? Except for a handful of developers/reviewers maybe? I have absolutely no idea any more - just that I am on a list.

This looks like validation of the Pyra (to some extent), and has a slightly different niche. Will be interesting to see if it takes off as a phone+keyboard alternative. Presumably it has serious backing, otherwise the whole thing looks rather speculative to me.

Presentation wise, the big box is better. Overall, the smaller box feels right because it better reflects the form-factor. Imagine seeing them in a store, you wouldn't want people to confuse it with a tablet device. It might look better with the battery section reversed - even if that needs a...

I guess this may be of interest to a few people here, either as a source of information, or as somewhere to share your knowledge. http://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/ is in beta, aimed at vintage-computer hobbyists interested in restoring, preserving, and using the classic computer and...

I finally managed to parse the updated thread title... 'priorly' should be 'previously' if it is going to make any sense at all.

Well, chroot Ubuntu on my Chromebook just works, so I guess there has been a fair amount of porting work going on for some time now. (To be fair, I don't stress the Chromebook, but it's a good reference)

My order seems to have gone through fine (€400 + €200 voucher), but the store told me it looked like there was a problem with what I ordered. I'm assuming its all ok...

I'm more than happy with 32 GB based on the prices. I still have a nagging doubt about speed (and having plenty of unused space might be a benefit). My TF201 tablet started out with the slowest eMMC on the planet, and is surely now far slower than it was when I bought it - but it looks like...

Some sort of ChromeOS/Android convergence is likely (maybe some more clues with the upcoming Pixel C, maybe later). 

Well, you really need to be concerned if it is resistive - by the same argument as reflecting the LED light, power is only dissipated by resistance. I agree it is unlikely to have an impact across the PCB, but this might be relevant in other situations and seems everyone gets RF wrong at...

I'm going to wait a while, let anyone else who is keen to get on have a chance to get in the queue, but I'll take up to 3 slots if there are any left by the end of the week...

I do sometimes use review sites (positive and negative feedback), but dislike the direct mail option. If I received one from ED, I might fill it in but it would cost a degree of goodwill. Finding a different route to get legitimate reviews on independant sites would be preferable.

So this is effectively the Chinese cut-down pandora clone, in the handheld version - (for sure its not being made in Oakland if my kickstarter experiences so far mean anything).  I can imagine lots of people being disappointed with the performance and software set, except where its being used...

A minimal base install, but some very trivial method of allowing a user to bring this up to a 'typical' install. It should work out of the box, and it should be easy to (online or offline) customise broswer, media player, etc from a sensibly small list.

I suggest this thread is prunded so the idiots ranting about entitlement can take that somewhere else. Having read the last few pages, I am 100% against taking any action which will enable some people to get a free pandora from ED. However, since I don't fully understand why ED is still trying...

If you can find an ARM board with SATA, some people might be interested in that. More in the low energy NAS/server space than for gaming. Assuming you get back into making a profit, please remember how much ED and the community have contributed over the last year.
