It's been a mini adventure, but I've now got system 7.6.1 set up, complete with networking support. Viewing modern websites in the quaint old iCab is an... interesting... experience. Now installing Speech. Crikey does it ever take forever to install/extract things whilst running Mac OS on the...

Eagerly awaiting a Dreamcast emulator. I need to justify my hoard of Dreamcast games! Although I've got no way to dump the damned things.

Have faith. The guys don't set out to fail intentionally or maliciously. Units are shipping, Craig has seen a surplus of assembly work and thus has come up with this plan to scale up production. Sure, it could fail hard... but there's no need to be so pessimistic about it. The plan was...

Consider the two following scenarios, showing Pandora output over 5 days before and after (number of staff picked arbitrarily for the number is irrelevant): 3 staff: 75, 75, 75, 75, 75 - 0 instant pandoras = 375 total 6 staff: 140, 140, 140, 140, 140 - 100 instant pandoras = 600 total That's...

I think you'll find that this was a lucky benefit of an otherwise necessary price increase. I don't think he cleverly planned to lock pre-order customers in with the psychological barrier of a higher price. On the flip side of the coin, pre-order customers can receive their Pandora, and then...

I can't see how that can be the case. The most anyone can be delayed is 100 units, if they hold to the numbers and don't simply let thousands of people order an "instant Pandora." What logic/evidence have you assessed to arrive at this conclusion? I haven't really been paying enough attention...

I dare say he makes some sense, but that sense is based on assumptions that have little or no basis in reality. From what ED said, OpenPandora didn't expect to be scaling back up to 8 workers, from 3, any time soon and thus didn't budget for it. This is a decision that Craig has stewed on...

As a late pre-order customer between 2000-2300 or something to that effect, I'm thankful for this initiative and glad that it'll mean I get my Pandora sooner. As for people who are "skipping the queue", they're paying more and phase me no more than the other pre-order customers who are getting...

Do want your gadget collection! The game-gripper for the N900 is good, but somewhat lacking in the analogue stick department- I doubt it could really make the N900 a competitor to the Pandora. It'll probably end up positioned as a cheaper, more lightweight version of the iControlPad... when...

As far as I can see, the only similarity it has to the Pandora is a clamshell design. And it's not as if OpenPandora invented the clamshell form factor...

Not always but often true. It depends on the value and reusability of the unit. 99% of all cases/accessories I've reviewed for gadgets have not needed to be returned, some of these are high value- approaching and often exceeding £100 at retail. If the item is a designer case, returning them is...

I tried to fast track my way to an early Pandora/review sample by actually buying one. Didn't work. Also, isn't it far, far too early for reviews to really count for anything? The people who pre-ordered between 1 and 2 years ago haven't got their Pandoras yet, unless we can entice some lovely...

Think yourselves lucky. I'm somewhere between 2000 and 2100. Perhaps it'll come in time for this Christmas. Truth be told, with all these shiny iDevices to play with, I'm starting to lose interest. Hopefully that'll change when I receive my shipping email sometime in the baking summer of 2015.

I just spent the entire day glued to Battle of Wesnoth on the iPad. Best way to play, ever. And the iPad port is truly brilliant. Anyone who doesn't want an iPad, simply hasn't yet come to terms with the fact that they do want one. I dare say that cancelling my Pandora pre-order has crossed my...

Minecaft uses, I believe, an OpenGL library... Can't remember the name, but an OpenGL ES/ARM version of said library would be necessary to run minecraft on the Pandora.

I, too, was surprised at the n900 being sold in high street stores and somewhat dissapointed that it's resale value is slightly nerfed, I would probably have sold it once i got my Pandora. It's undisputedly a rubbish phone but a great geek toy. Back to the iPhone I go. On a side note: Dell...

I thought there was a diagram posted somewhere detailing every pin. It's definitely not a proprietary interface, anyway. Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn't help anyone without the necessary skills to create a cable, myself included.

I paid for my "review sample". Loan, smoan! There's absolutely no way I'm going to be without my very own Pandora. Of course, I'm somewhere in the middle of those 4000 pre-orders, so the pictures/videos/unboxing I wanted to do would be a little stale by the time I actually get my hands on a unit.

Well, once upon a time it was an outcome I couldn't call. But now I'm reasonably certain that I will have an iPad before my Pandora. If anyone in/near the Norwich area gets one, I'll buy you a beer in exchange for a photo-shoot.

Ah, looks like a couple of superfluous zeros were added in there. What they meant was 160x94. From the photos it's clear that they're either using a shitty, blocky, low resolution font, or that their screen resolution claims are somewhat exaggerated. Although, hey, 1600x904 is a pretty good...
