The first link in this article refers to arstechnica.com. Their statement sounds critical but not uninterested. Also some postings sound nice. There is not only bad news out there

Wow... Where did they get those -old- renders with the SD cards on the back and multi-colors? And how did they get them without doing the research that would have told them that the device is black and has the SD slots on the front, etc...
They missed bluetooth, touchscreen, stylus... claimed that the nubs could click. Where did they dig that up from?

LOL. Yep. You're right. Its hard to think that it has been such a long road from those renders to a semi functioning prototype.
The impression I get from reading that is "don't bother if you're not a hardcore Linux user." I don't think that kind of misinformed press is necessarily a good thing.RajTakhar said:Any press coverage at the moment is good - for the Open Pandora project. OK it could have been a little more well researched - but at least its more press coverage, getting more people to think about the pandora

peca said:IMHO Chip, as PR guy, should contact most misleading sites about Pandora and inform them about official acknowledgment features and design. Now I really see how misleading techsites can be.
I do, but it doesn't do much. These are just bloggers, and they don't have to post corrections, especially when it's something as ambiguous as what a device is "designed to compete with". It's not like he made any quantitative statements that were factually inaccurate. As articles written by someone with no prior experience with the project go, this one isn't bad.
