I seem to recall that their OpenPandora, for the internet radio service known as Pandora, was around first. 
We've had a few users get the wrong place, before.

Yeah, that app has been around since at least 2007. If anyone has ripped anyone's name off, we've stolen theirs
But of course no one has ripped anyone off, it's just a coincidence, as is wont to happen.

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I get the impression that the device is technically called the "Pandora", not the "OpenPandora", and the only reason anyone says "OpenPandora" to refer to the device is to differentiate it from the music service.
So... the Pandora's name is a rip-off of... Pandora, not this "OpenPandora" app. It's the companies' names (OpenPandora Ltd. and OpenPandora Gmbh) that ripped off this app. But then again, I haven't been around long enough to know when and how "OpenPandora" came about (here, not in the OpenPandora app), so this is just conjecture.

OpenPandora is the company that produces the open handheld Pandora.
OpenPandora is a program that can connect to the Pandora music service.
Pandora is also a brand of jewelery.
And of course Pandora was the Greek woman whose curiosity released all the troubles upon the world
No one ripped off anyone, it's just an interesting name and a coincidence.
