Alright this topic finally got some unbiased replies. No i'm not a troll, I just want to hear everyone opinion about the slow progress of this device that has happened to others in the past and turned into "vaporware" ie never produced/put out for sale/ gave up on.
Is The Pandora Vaporware?

You sound like a troll cause your seem to miss the cold hard fact that all the parts are making their way to be assembled.

If you believe the Pandora can be classified as vaporware, then so must StarCraft 2. They were both announced at about they same time, they're both currently "finished", in "beta", just waiting for the final bits to come together so they can "assemble" and ship.Yarkle said:

Says What?
Sorry but when you join a project's forum and call it a scam in your very first message it defines you as a certified troll so you might as well just get out of denial, put it on and wear it proudly.Yarkle said:

Well if it isnt vapourware, it should be, because the specs and features announced years ago seemed decent at the time, but the device seems pathetic now compared to the top end smart phones.Sphinxter said:
No 3g just isnt any good for a mobile device in this day and age imho.

Enjoy your time pecking and waving your iphone/n900 around, and seriously when does the pandora get compared to phones simply cause they have the same/similar chips.
Your smart phones have crap for controls, better wait until they catch up ;-)

Since the topic of your avatar was raised briefly somewhere back there, I am suddenly curious. What does the subtext say?

Look mate!!! A small number of people have already received their Pandoras, so the answer is, NO! Pandora is not Vaporware!!!Yarkle said:

Do pardon me, but personally I just cannot see a benefit to in-built 3G in a device that is not a mobile telephone. All I can imagine it doing would be adding extra cost, sapping battery life, and taking up unnecessary space, so I'm rather happy to not have to put up with it*. 
*I don't want or own a mobile telephone, either - I never have and I never will. I have less than zero interest in these devices or their specifications, as they are completely useless to me. Why, exactly, should the device that people like myself want, be denied a right to exist because some people have mobile telephones that they want? It strikes me as a bit odd, I guess.

To be honest, 3G would be good for internet on the go, anywhere, anytime...And online mulitplayer too!

"Furthermore, in a group that has become sensitized to trolling — where the rate of deception is high — many honestly naïve questions may be quickly rejected as trollings. This can be quite off-putting to the new user who upon venturing a first posting is immediately bombarded with angry accusations."

Indeed...but you have to understand...if you start a topic such as this one expect to get called all sorts of names, get flamed, etc. because at the end of the day you're looking for positive and negative responses...bottom line is...You're looking for...jimshorttwig said:

Yarkle, read up a little before having an ill informed pop. Look for a post from Gruso and check out his signature, or have a peruse of the pandorapess site.

You're right. A positive reaction would be nice, but no one has done anything to warrant that kind of response. Everyone would love to hold their mobile gadget and possibly show it off, but you don't know anyone currently using one. This looks just like this, except that other people's money is at stake. And don't even miss the fact that people who told all their friends about it are being shamed. People seem to be disappearing from the forums and new people are appearing all the time wondering what is happening with this project. I don't want people around me to even know this project exists out of fear.

The problem with your post is that if you're not just a troll, you're obviously not very bright. I say this for two reasons. First, the idea that you would ask such a question at all is a sign of unintelligence. It is either vaporware (in the sense that, someone tries to produce something, but in the end, the product is never released) or it's a scam. Your question confuses the two issues. If Open Pandora is actively trying to produce something but it never surfaces, then it is vaporware; if they are not and are merely stringing people along with the intention of deceiving them, it is a scam.
Secondly, regardless of which question you mean to ask (although it's clear that you lack the insight to realize that they are two different questions), the idea that you would ask whatever your question actually is to the active posters on the forum of the device that you are asking about is completely moronic.
IMO.
