Let's go - Help wanted :) (2012-10-01)

[fusion_power]

The Pandora right now is a bit pricey - but there are probably a lot more interested customers out there who have the money and would like to buy it and support the idea of a niche device.

Tell the people, there are also the much cheaper 600MHz Pandoras available that even already have the 512MB RAM.

Notch should bring Minecraft to the Pandora

Notch has a Pandora, he once did a review. But this was ages ago and not that positive because of the old bugs and flaws of the early days of the Handheld. I'm sure he would love the new Pandora with all it's HW/SW updates but contacting Notch is nearly impossible, he is just to popular now.

You are awesome, ED.

I just donated 80 Euro. I just got paid for soldering some LED strips for a guy so I figured I would use it to help out.

Nice 1

Naaaah, the community is

Just to make sure I got it right, the upgrade to 1Ghz for an original pre-order is around 320 euro?


If that's the case, I think I'll just extend my 4 year long patience a little longer, donated 20 euro though..

Yes. Sadly, I can't afford to sell them for a lot less than production costs.

Thanks a lot. No need to donate anything if you are short of money though.

Ed, you are a joke to any self respecting business owner, you keep on begging like its nothing and making up excuses for everything, i do not feel any pitty for you, i hope your already failed project keeps on failing.

And if his business wasn't so tied into the community I'm sure nobody would donate. But it is, we understand what's going on, and we actually care about about the project. Please go back under your bridge.


EDIT: just to be more clear... this isn't ED making lots of money out of us donating... it's us donating to help fellow community members get their pandoras.

That's a horrible thing to say. Did you fall out of bed this morning?

With a nickname like SS, only 2 posts and a post like that, I think we're looking at a classic case of trolling...

Sure. Then let me know anything I did wrong and which was my fault in my business.

I wonder what the first post is, though. I checked his profile and could only find this post here... was his first one deleted by some mod?

That makes you a terrible human being. It's one thing to disagree with someone, you are totally within your rights and you may have some valid point in there somewhere that we could all benefit from, but to willfully wish harm upon the person you disagree with is reprehensible and negates anything you might ever possibly have to say. Return to the cave or bridge or wherever you crawled out of and bother us no more; we are trying to be constructive and you have nothing to add to the conversation.

I just attempted to upgrade my old order, but failed.


Both payment options are unacceptable to me.


Bank transfers are rare in the US for purchases, and therefore difficult & expensive.


I refuse to get a paypal account to purchase anything. I don't trust them.


I have used paypal in the past as an order processing tool, when they let me pay by credit card without creating an account, but this time I did not have that option. It was either log in as a Paypal user, or bank transfer.

I don't have a paypal account either, but I know someone who does. Would that work? The payment might show up with the wrong name/address, would that be a problem?

That would work, as you enter the address into the shop.

Upgraded from Craig's shop, I'm hoping this helps the project

So many ripe misconceptions so concisely stated!


1. ED is not a joke, he is the real deal.


2. ED does not beg, he explains. Sorry you have reading comprehension problems.


3. I doubt if he wants your pity, you might want to ask him rather than assuming.


4. The project is very much alive due to his efforts. Again, sorry for your comprehension problems, you must have lots of trouble handling the basics in life.


5. A failed project would not have an unbounded rate of failure. That's by definition!


6. Your failure at insult using patent fallacy (see #5) is an all too common problem with the trolls that wander these forums. You're not trolling hard enough, try harder!

I have been using a Zipit Z2 running Ooenwrt for the past few months. I loved playing AGI games on Scummvm and Frotz with a qwerty keyboard. I liked it so much that I purchased one of the eight $300 units that were made available here. I really think Open Pandora need to play to it's strength and make better use of its keyboard. More games and computer emulators that are keyboard based would be a huge asset to Pandora. There's a lot of stuff available already but more would be better. Lots of stuff can emulate N64 these days but there's not really any options for a little umpc that can emulate Oric with a full keyboard.

Maybe I AM just a joke


Would be fun, I guess
