every social-game/network is nerdy, indeed, but who cares'fade' said:
Anyway, I'm loosing interest as well. I'm a first batch preorderer, and expected this ppc by christmast at worst, but now I know I wont see it until this autumn being lucky, let's just be realistic.
Now I bought an Omnia (a nice windows ppc phone with more connectivity and storage than pandora), and I'm not so sure that the pandora will be that amazing when shipping will start. I'm also waiting for the shipment of my new car, and it's the 42nd day of waiting (and waiting for a new car when your 12-years old one is tearing apart is more soul consuming, believe me!
)But hey, I'm not saying it is a failure already (I still think the pandora would be a cool pocket pc, eventually), just that I think one has many interests in his life so the enthusiasm for this project has frozen since months!
I agree with the thread starter ^_O, we'll talk again when we'll see this handheld in our hands, eventually

I am still interested.
For me the Pandora is going to serve the purpose of being a laptop relacement. My personal dream is to have the power and flexibility of a desktop computer in my pocket, accessible at any time, any where.
Most PDA's and Smartphones out today are either incapable, under powered, or ill-designed for the tasks I have in mind - sometimes in purpose.
Take the iPhone for example: previous posts have detailed it's short commings nicely already, so I'll spare you the repeatation, but still, while it's an awesome media player and browser for casual reading, it's lack of functionality that I expect from PDA's (as a self admitted geek) is realy evident - and that's coming from someone who has a jail broken iPhone. SSH is not all that comfortable with an onscreen keyboard.
I want to to dev on the go. I want to remote login to my office workstation to do some admining or paperwork while I'm sipping coffee somewhere or stuck in traffic. I wanna run a casual game of a good ol' console game oldie to pass the time on the train. And I want to do this with the flexibility of a Linux system unhindered by locked out, jailed, walled garden of a user interface and limited access to the underlying system and applications due to a design aspiring toward being an "organizer", a "phone" (I'm looking at YOU, Steve Jobs!), or just plain corporate interests.
So far it seems like Android would be the only true competition for Pandora, but it looks like it too is a long way away from appearing on the market as a viable offer.
So there. Am I still excited? Not really. But I still want and intend to get one. Because if the specs are true...
The Pandora is exactly what I need.

I have *never* lost interest. Have I been frustrated at times? Of course. But I know that it's all coming to an end before too much longer, and then the REAL excitement begins!

I'd contact MS if Asus won't do it. They have to allow you to reject the license otherwise it isn't valid. Which means a full refund for whatever portion of the cost of the license was.'Xisiqomelir' said:
Just let them know that you're not agreeing to the licensing on it, and they'll give you a refund. Mainly because if you reject the terms and they decline to return your money, you're not bound by the terms of the license. And that would be bad.
As for the Pandora, I'm probably more interested now than I have been in months. That new video is pretty impressive.

I'm still intrested in the pandora, though I've had to modify my plans. My original plans were to wait 'till I get my pandora, then finally pension off my old toshiba laptop. I've just recently bought an Asus EEE PC; not because I'm loosing intrest over the pandora, but because my laptop finally packed up and died!

My interest only grows. Sure, I want it now, my payment is in, I can only wait. As long as I get it before I move abroad in August I'll be happy.
I do wish the openpandora team would give more micro updates, tweet, whatever. Perhaps they have learned to stop giving dates because of the hassle they cause. I'd be happy with up to the minute updates though

Fade, if WoW is not nerdy, then, well, what is?
Paolo hit it on the head though, does anyone care about what is nerdy and what is not past the age of 16?

The 'sales team' consists of two very busy ladies. Have patience, they will get back to you. Keep in mind that there may not be that many (if any at all) extras to order.

I've kind of lost my excitement in the Pandora, mainly due to the delays. This is the first time I've been on the forums in ages, but I think when the manufactures begin I will begin to get excited again. I may even get round to writing a game for it before they ship.
