I would say monday or tuesday! Maybe even later in the week. They said they where on the way, early last week, but it didn't seem like it was "fact", seemed more like a guess. All express mail I have ever gotten from China, never takes more than 2 days(coming to the US), unless customs holds something up! So if they shipped out tuesday, they should have arrive by the weekend(at the latest). So I would say they didn't ship out when it was alluded to. A slower shipping method could have been used, but I wouldn't risk sending such rare cargo by some economy option. But that is just my 2 cents!

oh em gee
speaking of different firmware/os builds etc for the pandora, how will updates for it be handled? will there perhaps be something on the pandora where we can click "update" and if we're online with it, it will update, or what?

Updates via packages (patches) though likely we'll build an auto checker to report updates. But should be trivial now.. A link in the browser would be all that's needed by default

The Pandora is shaping up so damn F*&KING NICELY!
Shit, after seeing the vids, and the newest OS Snippets and with this hands on review.. Shit! Its getting to the point of being the PERFECT CONSOLE!
("getting to" was only said because I would like to see N64 running at FullSpeed, but a RARE game (GE/PD/Conkers).

C'mon, it's only a 28 hour drive. I could do that in my sleepBackAssward said:

Nothing good will ever come of Exophase.
Word on the controls sounds very reassuring. If this is as good as it sounds then we could be looking at some of the best controls on a handheld to date. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.
Definitely going to be a major thing that separates it from all the other mobile devices with this level of hardware, for every time someone brings them up.

i knew florian and was very happy that pretty much every time i saw him, was able to discuss the progress of the pandora project. he had a wiz, was fed up with waiting for the pandora, but i'm sure he'd be really laughing at your great first-fanboix-in-a-pandora-box picture, no question about it ..

Sounds very nice. I just had my Koss Porta Pro to check, but I was satisfied. I put it up to full power and it was too loud for me. Guess that should be enough
Those Koss Portapro have an impedance of 60ohm. If the specs of the Pandora haven't changed, it can output 150mW into a 16ohm load (~75mW into 32ohm, etc). If you thought the sound was too loud, then you are giving us good news
150ohm headphones will sound good, 300ohm headphones will probably sound ok too.. for a portable device. I just imagine plugging some ipod earphones (32ohm), turning the volume wheel 1/3 and stop because the sound is already too loud

You're not by any chance the legendary zatzen from cologne?
I didn't have a direct comparison (should have asked though) but iirc, the speakers are at least as good. I always used headphones when playing DS.

Okay cool. You're welcome to use the picture if you want to have a face like that on the blog. Thanks for the great work, dude.
