2008 was the year of the Pandora.
Looking forward to it coming despite any year though.
I just want to get things straight here, there have been too many guesses and conjectures already. First, are we *sure* that the final cases are shipping now, or is that still a hope? Second, the next step is silk screening, right? Who does that, where do they do it, and how long is that projected to take? 3rd, are all of the boards fully "mass produced" already, and at the site of that Texas manufacturer who's supposed to assemble them? 4th, does that "Texas manufacturer" need to have their work scheduled? I mean, will they start the assembly just as soon as the cases arrive, or is there a latency of some kind there?
Lastly, it seems to me that the names of the companies we use are never really stated (outside, perhaps, the developers). It would seem to me that one very good incentive we would have (since there ARE engineers who read this) would be to make the track records (wrt the Pandora project) of the manufacturers public. Not to do it pejoratively, just report the dry facts, then we don't ever risk any lawsuits, and manufacturers would be more anxious to make sure that we are not ignored. I haven't any personal experience with manufacturing, but it seems like the company doing our cases has been a bit dilatory about things, right?
