Hi ED,
It's great to hear that there are definite plans for a Pandora successor and also great to see that you have created a real sense of community involvement as to how that once mythical beast will be designed / specified.
However it's rather hard to offer good advice without understanding broadly what you'd like to see in terms of unit sales for P2.
For example if your goal / desire is to sell 10,000 units over 5 years then a totally different set of design / specification / marketing choices should be made compared to your goal being to sell 200,000 units over 2 years.
The conventional expectation would be to aim for maximum sales, & make a pile of money for you and your investors on the way.
However the conventional goal of maximising sales would probably mean you giving up the day job, taking on full time staff, an increase in R&D / sales / marketing budgets, having to find 25 hours in the day just to answer your emails etc.
There is no right and wrong answer for this, it's your life, your time & largely your money that will be going into the project, but it would be most helpful for those trying to help you if you could give a broad picture of what you'd like to see in terms of total unit sales and the expected lifetime of Pandora's successor.
Good luck & thanks again for keeping the dream alive
